55' Chevy "GASSER" Build UP... Yeah, another one

10 bolt P case.


2nd gear at 5,000 RPM and tires that grip..

I don't have the time or the coin for a 9 or a 12B.. I'm going to rob some parts from another rear end and re gear it.

 

wow, a little carnage there....still a sweet gasser!

 

chopperman, great job on that car! the coolest thing is how involved your son is, I can't wait until my 5 yr old can help out more in my garage. Going for ice cream in the gasser, there's a memory that your kids will never forget. way cool!

 

car looks amazing man, thanks for the inspiration i needed it!! sorry about the rear diff!! thats painful

 

Man that thing looks better every I time I see it. love the Interior

 

ouch on the rear, like the plate..haha Cars killer man....

 

Car looks great, and family pic (priceless) Now go find you a better rear end.

 

theres a p case center section on craigs list new york ..373 gears 300 bucks just in case ya interested .

 

Overall how do like those Firestone Dragsters ? I was looking at a set on a coupe the other day and thought maybe.

 

They work good.

Ride well and hook up well. At east on the street.

No strip time yet

 

I love your build.

Looks awsome and the best bit is getting your kids involved. I am afraid that I have lost mine to the curse of Xbox.....

P.

 

we dont own ANY gaming systems in our house.

 

And THAT is exactly how it should be! Blame the Grand Parents....

Well i had a few one legger 3.08's sitting around, so it threw em in so i could drive it.

3.08 brings the SUCK for sure.

 

OUCH

Haven't even made it to the track yet.

 

damn that dont look to healthy..

 

OOps!!!!!!Did you miss a gear with that automatic?????

 

I knew it was coming. It was a weak short block. Just wasn't anticipating this soon.

I'm seriously depressed right now. This is like a 5K fix

 

funny. but no.

Doing stupid stuff..

 

that can't be buffed out,bummer

 

Put a W-motor in it this time. Blown 409, Straight axle,55 chevy, sounds perfect combo

 

Need to find a built 454 short block blower motor..

Doesnt seem to be anything out there.. I thought PAW had one, but they only sell Hemi stuff now

 

I heard they folded, guess not.
A few minutes later and looking at there site I see there only doing what you said. Sad, when I lived just north of S.F. valley I bought lots of stuff from them.

 

Daves vette shop in Citrus heights. he's good and he's cheap. and he's got alot of big block stuff. works at corvette care now and has been building motors for the locals for a long time now. he's very well known around here for motor work.Short or long block, assembled or apart he will get it to you.

 

Sorry for your loss, but I thought this was funny

 

Sorry to see the short block give up on you. like they say "build it faster".

Very nice work. Tom (Tired Old man)

 

Great build! Don't give up on her! One thing I really regret was not including my son in my cars. Because the EX wife was not supportive of the hobby it was always a sore subject in my old household. I should have done things differently. My present girlfriend truly supports this passion of mine and I've never been happier. With that said, you're very lucky/blessed to have a wife that supports your hobby/passion. Give her a big hug from me!

 

beyond the cool stuff like gasser ,family,blower.....you drive it & drive it hard...thats COOL!!!!! hate to see you hurt it, but it proves oit a driver....

 

nice buildup man, hey check out trifive.com. pretty awesome site. o btw watz ur seats out of
