    I don't think that is one of those 'glass '55s..

    A. It doesn't have those stupid ass fiberglass mirrors that all the Bohannon cars have
    B. It doesn't have leather interior like all the Bohannon cars have. See the stock door panels?
    C. Suicide doors?
    D. No billet wheels? They obviously come standard on the Bohannon cars! ;)
    E. Last but not least... SNOW! Who drives their car in snow! ;)

    Looks like it's chopped more than the Bohannon cars. 1 - 1 1/2 inches more would be my guess.

    OUCH!!! never could I do that to a 55.looks like it got flattened...now this is just my take on it. im sure some of yall love it but a 55 should never be chopped!!!

    I did not like the title of this topic...sounded like an ugly car..
    I was wrong..I like it a lot !!
     
  10. It was featured in HRM once, I think it is still on thier site.

    Yep that bitch is hammered for damned sure.
     
  11. Badly chopped 55 would be a better title for this thread....

    If the car was a LSR, I could see the "Severe " chop. Since it isn't and it's supposedly a street car, it seems totally off balance . scrubba
     
  18. Thats my buddy Watne Swanson's car. Its all steel and the body is incredibly well done. He resides in Boring Oregon. Hell of an interior guy too!

    I would not mind having that cool car parked in my garage! Is it possible to get more pictures of this great rod?

    I don't think that top looks poorly done at all, especially if the back window sits in relatively stock configuration
     
  23. I don't much care for 55's, but I must admit I love that one.

    When I first saw it, I said, "Is that the back end with the grille tacked on?"

    Then I remembered an old ditty: "If I had a dog that looked like that, I'd shave his ass and make him walk backwards!"

    Just an old ditty...

    i dont think the chop looks bad from these pics. i wouldnt have done the suicide doors, but it looks like it might or could be a cool car from these pics
     
  29. You might not like the 55's style, but John Bohannon doesn't build "crap". Period.
    I worked for John in the late 70s, and he's been a friend and mentor to me for almost 40 years...and crap never rolls out of his shop. When you can do better, then you can come back and talk shit.
