Info Request on Hot Rod Magazine 55 Chevy Feature

Hey guy's
Ok, here's the deal.... I just took over a long time project of my dads. It's a 56' chevy 150 delray 2 door post. Car is decent and is completely apart. Great place to start right... can do everything the way i want.
My request is for info on a 1955 chevy that was in the April 2002 issue of Hot Rod magazine. Does anyone know the owner? or is he a member here? I have thought about this car for years.. and even though i have a 56' i'd like to build something very similar. I'd love to see more pic and be able to possible ask the owner some questions.. thats it.. thanks jason

 

I know the feeling...this car is out there, but the net seems to ignore it! Watching closely.

 

I believe the owner is/was a lurker/member here.

 

Try getting a hold of Bad Bob, I believe he knows the owner.

 

I'm sorry to say...I do not know the owner. The car doesn't look familiar to me.

 

Retro Rick, was his nick-name I believe. Loved the small journal rev motors.

 

I remember seeing it had a olds trans hydra shift and I believed it was in San Fransisco.

 

Apparently I was wrong.............theres a first time for everything. I think his brother owns this Nova, maybe that will help someone ID the guy for you.

 

Well if it helps any that ^ Nova is owned by Augie Delgado according to one of my older Hot Rod Magazines... I think I might have the issue that the OP is referring to..... I got to go dig it out. Will post it if I find it.

 

I do not know the owner.

 

Well I think you were right "Slammed" and "Muttley".

I found these links and it says Rick Del Gado..
