Pictures of my 55 Chev.

Here are a few pictures of my 55 Chev. 2dr. Bel Air. Almost finished after 4 years in construction.

More pictures of the 55.

 

nice work...i imagine having suicide doors makes it easier to flip the front end

what is that motor?

 

An all alum. 730cid Hemi head V12.

 

Outa what?

 

not exactly traditional but its a cool car

 

Holy shit that's a ton of work! What's the hydraulic pump for?

sweet ride .

 

Actually that looks more like an air pump (I noticed the accumulator and assume hydraulic).

A ton of work in there, but is it H.A.M.B. material??

Wait a minute, is this Gary Kollofski?

 

What a dream ride thanks for posting.

 

Crazy. I'd love to hear some details about the engine. Please educate this this dummy that I am. I'm guessing you already know you have a ton of talent.

 

Wow.

 

Ditto!!!!!.... What's that engine from????..

 

Nice ride

 

Good to finally see it and looks like you have not lost your touch. Really liked your old/other cars the Willy's and other 55

 

I remember when the HAMB was all about traditional HOT RODS and custom cars. guess I'm the only one who gives a shit anymore.

I sure miss those days.

 

You're not alone.

I'm sorry if I have offended anyone with the pictures of the 55. I didn't realize that the HAMB was just for a certain kind/type of car. I can delete the thread if necessary.

PS the engine is made in Italy by BPM Marine and they are primarily used in marine applications. The pump that you see is an electric power brake unit used because the engine came equipped with 6 48mm Weber carbs and we had no vacuum to run a PB unit.

No reason to be sorry it is just like anything else in this world some will like somethings and others will not like the same thing.
I see a lot of things I do not like on this board and other boards, I just move on others can't or choose not to do that.

 

Even though it doesn't fit in here on a traditional hot rod site, it is indeed an impressive build, but this thread will probably be closed soon.

 

Great car Gary, as the builder of one of my Favorite cars as a teen, It's nice to see what you've been up to, It's hard for some people to look at something a little different, you know, people that talk about mustang II front ends and air bags all day!

 

Very nice 55 Chevy I don't get all the fuss that others have posted. Car looks good, well built I am partial to 56's myself but really think you have a nice V12 Chev there.

 

Well, it can't be all bad... I was born there..

 

What is so untraditional about it? Suicide doors were around since day one, Rally wheels came out in HAMB friendly years.

 

You should have read this when you signed up, it explains every thing.

It's a nice car with a lot of work in it but does it fit here??

 

I saw this car at BTT50'S last weekend. It is amazing. You built a unique rod.
