Hello to all you young and old car buffs,
My name is Larry and I'm addicted to old fast cars, there I admitted it and that is supposed to be the first step to a cure. But that ain't happening!!
I retired in 03 and wasted almost two and half years playing golf and fishing, and then I fell off the wagon and started restoring old cars. My first restore was a 68 Torino GT Convertible with a 428 Cobra Jet and top loader 4 spd. But as God is my witness I tried to stop, but just couldn't. So I built a 32 3 window coupe from the ground up. But just before I finished it I stumbled again and started a 55 chevy gasser. Which leads me to this question has anyone seen a straight axle on a stock 55 frame.
I have the one piece frame and don't really want to cut it up.
Thanks
