55 gasser build 60s style

Subscribed,KILLER tri 5 buildup man!

 

Looks killer!

 

Great build. Gotta love a '55 Chevy gasser.

 

Well i think i got my issue worked out and will be doing the flake roof this weekend...I hope it comes out good so I can post pics....First process will be to spray the flake and put 3 heavy coats of clear then let it sit for a few days, sand it and then finish clear then sand again and then buff the snot out of it....

 

OK, got some pics .....got flake roof layed out and locked in clear...still need to sand and polish out but the pics suk the apple red flake is like bling in the sun...

Got front clip painted in hotrod black as well ....startin to look like a car...

 

Looking Wicked! Plexi scoop and flaked roof sets it off.

 

Lookin' Good Man! I'm partial to gassers haha Love the Flake! It's really coming along, keep on movin' and you'll have it out in no time! Best of luck!

 

let me tell ya that flake wasnt easy to do. Especially achieving full coverage over a silver base...from now on i will flake over simular color...but the silver base helped alot with the sparkle...

 

I'm digg'n the look brother....well done.

 

Flake Looks Awesome dude

 

Looking really good!

 

thanks guys, Ive been enjoying the project but now I really am since it is starting to look like the vision I have.

 

That two tone with the flake roof is looking good, scoop ties it all together, nice job on that.

 

Been building the short block on my week nites at home. Got all the rings filed and dropped 4 pistons in the engine last nite...may do the last 4 tonight and start on the next step...

 

Well got the bottom end done on the 509 bbc power plant. I know its half an engine but im getting excited...

 

well in arizona where my 55 chevy is at it is 115 degs during day and in the 90s at nite....So not alot has been getting done, But i put my car on the lift and worked on the steering...got it 80 percent done...took a pic of column setup...worked nice...
