55 gasser build 60s style

Hey guys .... Well car is finished and will be at moonrise Xmas party on sat at irwindale speedway .... Drop me a line if you are going ... Will post pics sunday

 

See you there. I really look forward to checking that baby out!

 

Looks Beastly...We will need a video! Have fun!

 

x2 on video please

 

Will work on a video

 

That car turned out really nice, can't wait to see it in person.

 

So glad it's finally done... Except for the fine tuning. Mooneyes Xmas party was a blast! Can't wait to bring it to more shows!

 

Man!! This thing is BAD ASS!! Its killing me, im making progress on mine, hoping to be done for Detroit Autorama, and seeing you complete yours is just making me want to go and work on mine right now!! lol alas, i am at work =/ Keep posting the pics and that video would be sweet! You gonna go to the Meltdown? I know it would be a long trek for ya, but it would be cool to see it in real life.

 

Thanks. I will post pics sometime soon. Keep working on ur car and it will finally get done... It seemed like mine took forever... Kept missing event deadlines... Now I don't set them because it brings let down when you don't meet them.

 

Great idea! I'm studying the pics to pickup details to incorporate in my build.

Thanks!

 

This thing looks really good! Congrats on your build man!

You nailed the theme.

I guess I got to get off my dead ass and post pics ... Been holding out on you guys... Car also gold leaf work done now too..

 

here are some recent pics

 

more....

 

Ha Ha, sweet ! That gold leaf is excellent, nice !

 

swade....im sure you know where tarrytown is....that is where car was born...

 

I don't but I watched this really bad movie once called Terror Toons, it was horrible....lol

 

GOD DAMN that car looks great! awsome build would love to see it run!

 

Just an empty parking lot there now.
Love the lettering. I didn't think I'd like the color scheme when I first read what you planned. Was I wrong on that! I think it came together great. Looking forward to seeing some vids on itand hearing the motor.

 

Looks AWESOME!!!!

 

Killer ride youve built! Enjoy it!

 

That is one bad ride. Really liked the way you done lots of things on the build. Great job

 

Thanks everyone finally down to doing small jobs on it and driving it as well.. Going to the Laughlin nv show at the riverside casino on the weekend of 19 th this month. If anyone wants to come and say hi.

 

After studing your build how well is the rear mounted radiator working without any opening in the trunk lid like I have seen ours do? The more I look at this build it is just bad ass build.

 

The radiator is where stock fuel tank was and it's on a angle so it scoops air from below car and pushes thru.. Also had two pusher fans and 24 feet total of thin aluminum 1 1/2 in piping to run cooling to the front and return to rear.. Runs too cool most times... Don't even turn fans on...

 

Are you running gas or alky?

 

Runnin gas.

 

This thing came out soo rad man! congrats

 

It turned out great! Fantastic build and info. Have fun with it.
