Projects Daly's Machine '55 straight axle Gasser progress

Started this project Jan. last year & what a ride its been. Stole a few ideas along the way. Shakey Puddin gave me the balls to cut it up & drag racer50 has got some good stuff going over there. Thanks to the car gods for the H.A.M.B. & all the guys who post here.

Thanks again to the Board

 

Congrats on a home run! Killer! Is Daley's Machine still going out there (I lived in Omaha in the olden days)?

 

That son of a gun looks bad ace!!!

 

Wow....looks amazing!!

 

All I have to say is (flaw·less - Being entirely without flaw or imperfection.)

 

It is officially my favorite 55 of all time. Everything about it is just right dead on. Great job.

 

Lookin good, love to see a shell progress into something cool. Interesting looking tilt front end.

 

Nice work Dan (as always) Can't wait to see this one on the street. Gary

 

Now that looks lovely mate.

 

#1 Nice car! #2 I really like that hoop set up you made for rolling the body for access! #3 What wheel sizes & tire sizes are you using? Thank you!!!

 

ditto

Daly's Machine nice work

 

I love it could not have a better stance. Any more pics of the hoops you built for rolling the body I want to do something like that on my 53 Chevy

 

looks sick man

 

way cool ride you hit the mark

 

Great job.....very cool.

 

Badass man.....

 

Man, you nailed it dead on. Of all the 55s I've seen on here and there are a shitload of em, between you and Shakey, you guys got me wanting to cut mine up now. Beautiful car, congrats !

 

Wow, that's killer - nice work!

 

HOLY MOLY!!!!! PLEEZ EXCUZE MY DROOL!!! KOOLSVILLE ride !!!! Truly one WICKED ride!!

 

I have to say that is one of the finest 55 gassers ever! Beautiful stance, the color looks great as well. Great job! I would like to see more picts

 

God, This is beautiful. Is the color silver?

 

Awesome, Dan! I'm glad you posted it on here, too... Hope to see it in person, soon!

Also, since there isn't a full photo of the engine -- It's a blown HEMI, correct?!

I think if you could find some tinted blue side glass like the one below, that would really look radical with your silver!

 

I found another older photo...

 

stunning!

 

love the color.... and a hemi too....

 

The paint is beautiful when you see it in person, it almost looks like pearl. Thanks Dan for showing it to me in person Sunday. I cant wait to hear that big ol HEMI roar!!!!! IT is big and badass!

 

Holy shit I love it.

 

Yes, Daly's is still around. I used to race motocross with Daly jr. Daly's also did the machine work on my flatty.

Thanks for posting the pictures!! Badass
