Hot Rods *Lucky's '55 - Kick Ass '55 Chevy Gasser*

Wayne (aka "Lucky" to most who know him, and Falfas55 here on the board) has had many '55 Chevys. He's had a Two-Lane car, a Grafitti car, a shiney black and white two-tone '55, etc. But this is the car I think he was meant to keep. He can fill you in on more of it's history, but it's the real deal. An old race car, fallen into despair and brought back to life. It's been two years in the making, and yesterday was the first time it breathed new life. Here's a few pictures of where it came from, in progress, and some near-finished pics.





























Some shots from it's debut at Pistons & Paint this year.










Here's the loud part...

Just what I want!!! Bad ass cool!!

I get that same grin every time I get in my '55. I like the white/black interior--nice car and nice save! And it's a 4-speed too. Gotta' have three pedals.

 

You've got my attention. Love them '55 GASSERS!!!!

I'm with Cut55, You have to have three pedals.

 

Nothing like a 55 Chevy. I will never get tired of looking at them.

 

Allright Wayne - kicks ass.............

 

Nice 55..Really like the rear wheel openings. Did you flair them or were they already like that?

 

Bad ass! "What's the Hamb?..."

 

sweet sound.....

 

Way to go Killebrew,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Looking good.................

 

Just plain Brilliant!

Nick.

 

Thanks for all the kind words.I almost gave up on the project a few months back.The Fidgiter and Grits wouldn't let me.Thanks to all who have helped along on this journey.FALFA

 

Gotta love a 55 gasser.

 

Hey Wayne since you got your's going you could come and help me....lol.

 

that is nice

 

Awesome, Awesome, awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Looking good, looking good..!

 

Hahaha, Love that smile on your face bro, hadn't seen you smile like that in TWO F%#KIN' YEARS. Wayne you know how I feel about you Bro, I'm so happy for you, even if I did have to kick your ass once in awhile to get it done,
It was my pleasure for sure.That's just awesome.

I knew you'd make it.
Grits

 

Rock On Wayne!
MickeyD

 

Definiatly a very sweet ride.

 

Hell yea!!

 

I think he might have to get used to buying his gas at the airport with all that compression!

I really like the '55, Wayne....I'm glad you stuck with it.

 

Congrats Wayne... very nicely done.... The tri-five gods are definatley happy with this one.

 

Really glad to see the 55's being restored and brought back in the publie eye. The 50's had to be one of the biggest turning points in racing history and engine break through in the tech department. This is going to be one of the real nice ones and looking forward to seeing it in the next few months make a few passes.

 

Awesome!!!

 

Bad Ass!
