55 chevy gasser barn find

I picked up a 55 chevy gasser from the early 70,s and gotta decide whether to keep the original build theme with the engine set back or make it a street car. Or sale it?

 

Gassers are cool! The sheet metal looks pretty good too. Thats a huge dog house and I can't really make out what lives between the frame rails??? What kind of tranny and rear end are in this 55? Can you make it street legal where you live? It took some doing, but I also have an OT street legal drag car... a blast to cruise the local boulevards in! Enjoy the HAMB... robber

 

Robert:

That 55 looks cool just the way it sits.

Sure wish I could find something that nice in a barn some where.

Great find and best of luck with it. Jimbo

 

Do what it takes to make it streetable and leave as much of the history intact.

 

welcome to the show ....

nice score on the gasser ....

 

Very cool find. Do you know any of the history on it?

 

I feel like I have seen that car....cant figure it out...but if its been in a barn since the 70s i couldn't have.

I say make it safe and keep with the original theme, break necks everywhere!

Come on now....really?

Its the"tarantula" that seems familiar....maybe a local drag car with the same name??

The lettering looks really cool! I'd leave it on there...... And keep the car.
