55' Chevy "GASSER" Build UP... Yeah, another one

shocks are done... Tomorrow I'm taking the diff in to b regeard, locker installed and ordering up some chromo rears

 

well after a got a few quotes on axles and rear end stuff, i decided to swap thirds from my coupe.

Coupe had 4.11 posi P case
Chevy had 3.73 posi P case

If I grenade the rear, I will switch to a 12B. Most likely, I will snap an axle. 17 spliners....

Tires and wheels showed up, I'm getting them mounted tomorrow. While pulling the tirnd from my coupe I split my thumb open with a soft blow 5lb hammer. Good times

 

You & the Boy are kickin' some butt!!!!! I am impressed!!

 

Man it keep's getin better I got to get my butt in gear and get mine done. your's is lookin great can't wait to see it done......

 

Well, I'm not doing paint or interior, so well she how she turn out...."looks wise" anyway.

Cool ass build man...I'll be back later to see your progress. Giz'

 

Great build. I'm in the middle of building a gasser also. But mine is a little bit different. Not quite traditional. A 1963 Pontiac Catalina.

Part modern part old look. A ONE of NONE car. Keep up the great work on the 55. I love Gassers. Mark l

Unbelievable how I've missed this thread so far....

Love the kid, love the car. Can't wait till my kids get ''the fab on''. I'll be watching this one closely.

Thanks for sharing.

 

Looking good, can't wait to see it roll in to MM.

 

Going to be VERY TIGHT....

 

Great job, as usual. It's neat to see your son growin up and gettin dirty. What's involved in setting the front spring-hanger "angle"?

 

got the master in and messed around with the belt alignment. I'm going to need some parts.


Master is from a 76' vette and bolted right in...

Also picked up some sweet wires

 

Don't think I'm going to make mass

I had neck surgery today and it's painfull to move...

 

That's a bummer man, hope everything is good and you're up and building again soon. Your project is looking awesome. I love a good build thread.
