    Subscribed! Cool build.

    I picked up a '56 Star Chief this summer to build into a gasser with extra parts I have in the shop. Pontiac power with a 4-speed. 55Chieftain was my inspiration. I'm following both builds for ideas. I have a '59 axle, post pics on how you mount it especially if you stub it.

    No real updates other than a lot of work stuff and family stuff has slowed me down on it. But now I'm bringing the 55 to my house because it is 40 mins away at my parents in Chino. Once here I will get the body sitting on the frame and I have to move the 2 rear mounts forward about 1.5"s. once that is set the axle is going under the front. I have a few buddies that are ready to help out so within the next week I will have pics. Sorry guys out newest son had to have brain surgery at 6 months so we were running back and forth to drs and specialist but he is rock solid so now we can get rolling on the Gasser
