55 altered wheelbase gasser

thought i'd post a few pics of the altered wheel base chevy i'v been building.the rear wheels have been pushed forward 9 inchs the motor has been moved back 2 inchs,straight front axel,13:1 comppresion 327 ,super t-10 four speed,with a 9 inch ford with 5:29 gears in the rear the car is far from being done but it's geting there. SO WHATCHA THINK?

 

That thing looks real wicked. The altered wheelbase really makes it look aggressive.

 

That is too cool! Will it be street/strip? I bet that best roars. Great job.

 

Very cool.

 

hey thanks.it will be both street/strip but mainly street got it on the road 2 weeks ago so i'm still takeing the bugs out of it i plan on runing it at the moon eyes x-mas party at irwindale speed way in december

 

Have you popped a wheelie yet?

I like.

 

AWESOME!!!

Bitchin' machine!

I need to get to work on resurrecting the altered wheel base '57 Ford languishing in my back yard.

 

Cool as hell, nice job. I want to build an altered wheelbase Nova, I think the altered wheelbase looks cool as hell.

 

I love the fact that you kept the stock wheel wells. That's a ton of work that came out looking cool. Post some pics of the wheels up, when you get 'em.

 

Nice job. Do you have pictures of you sidestepping the clutch at 7K? Those would be nice too.

 

badass! i dig it

 

THANKS for the great replys everyone. the car was a major piece of shit when i first got it i can't belive it has come as far as it has my self. THANKS again

 

flippin' sweet! Better post up pics from the track of the wheelie, that's gonna be great!

 

very cool! (ditch the blue tint on the windows)

 

windows are NOT tinted all the side glass is plexi-glass

 

wow that is badass, cant wait to see/hear it in person

 

Now that's cool. Should have no trouble gettin' the front hoops off the ground.

Doc.

 

I like it !!! nice job. Gary

 

thanks every one. i will try to get some pics up of the car being raced, if all go's as planed....lol

 

neat piece ....shades of blown hell......brandon

 

Nice to see someone doing something bitchin.

 

very cool. I'd like to see it with one of those tear drop scoops on the hood... I like blue windows. got a roll bar? gassers got to have a roll bar...

 

Very cool!

 

S W E E T ! ! ! !

 

Awesome job, looks great....now I have to go out an work on mine hope fully next week mine will hit the street for the first time ....Thanks for the motivation !

 

Awesome man! You should start thinking about wheelie bars if you haven't already. It's a freaky feeling when they stand up on the bumper, you can't see anything but sky. Its cool but the thought of going over backwards is un-nerving.

 

hey thanks,i have wheelie bars mounted on the car it's just hard to see them with the altered wheelbase.

 

THANKS yeah i dig those tear drop style hoods alot i have a 64 mercury gasser and a 64 ranchero gasser that i run tear drop hoods on i just wanted something a little differn't on this car. it does have a roll bar just havent got around to finishing it.

 

Sweet. Ya have any more pics with the hood down, or side shots?
