starting to get the front of the car together now with discbrakes and all... the frame is painted, and the firewall is waiting for some black paint....

Updated pic of '55 after paint job

 

Looks great ( I liked it in the gray primer also ). Nice job.

 

here is one a friend had as a pro street car in high school about 15 years ago or maybe even longer. He has redone it tunnel rammed small block with a 4 speed.

His cousin has a Two Lane Clone and his Dad has a clone of Falfa's 55.

Time for a different look. Not much easier than a wheel/tire swap.
Always liked the TLB look. Best part of this is now I can drive it in the rain.

 

What is the TLB look? I'm old enough to remember that EVERYTHING was your daily driver......It was the only car you had. I love Traditional looks, but only when you can drive them in everything....That's where "compromise" becomes very important.....Centurion9

 

TLB...Two Lane Blacktop 55 Chevy. I loved the looks of the slicks on the back, but after getting caught in a heavy downpour of rain last year (scared the crap out of me !), I began to watch the weather very closely before I ventured too far from home. I have a second set of matching rear rims for the slicks for those "special occasions".

 

Thanks for clearing that up for me Baron......I'm very familiar with the movie too, but in the past, like the movie, spares were carried in the trunk..... Love the car....You should be very proud! Please consider posting more and bigger pics....I'd love to use your car as my Wallpaper....Beautiful!

 

Thanks. Here is a better picture.

 

Thank you Sir.....Wallpaper installed!

 

if a car ever could be close to "perfect" it would be like the car above... it really screams BADASS!

 

Baron I love with either set of wheels thats one bad ass 55

 

Hears one we picked up in Arkansas about 3 weeks ago.....

 

These two were famous in my neck of the woods in the mid-60's

 

Butch, that yellow car is just bad fucking asss. I would not change it at all.

 

Hey Butch. Nice find! Plans for this one ?
