Projects Just Another 55 Gasser Build

Got the car back down on it's own shoes so was able to get the quarter radius "roughed" in today. I need to get the other tires and wheels cleaned up and mounted before I can finish the wheel openings.

 

Also got the rear bumper bolted on and all the lights wired and working.

 

Looking great man !

 

Run it without front sheetmetal

 

Hey Vic, I've done that!

 

But it's hard to keep the winshield clean

 

Ah yes, my kind of ride!

 

nice cars....
the tube axle is a thing of my past... like the mid/late 60's.

 

Henryj, do you have any pics of those cars you've had over the years? I would love to see them.

 

Car looks great!! Keep up the good work.....

 

wow it's look'n good

 

will do...
i'm going get the (tekie teknoid ?) kids to get this done...for me
i just learned how to run the vinyl cutter 36" machine...
makes some sweet decal/stickers i tell ya...

 

lookin good!

 

Lookin good....gonna' be sweet!!! *(grab some pie crust slicks for the rear!)

 

Got the 200S's on, they're going to work out fine

 

I also started to take a look at getting the front stanchions for the rear panel back in. Being a 150 Utility it had no rear seat but for some reason one of the previous owners removed the forward most two brackets. Evidence of the original spot welds are still there so it should be no problem getting the back in.

 

Nothing wrong with a 55 gasser build! I will always look! Keep us posted man!

Dblgun,
How did you find that Cal trac set-up on your 210? I am running a ford nine inch with leaf springs and I am getting a little wheel hop sometimes. Was it a big difference?
Thanks
Jay

 

I liked it fine, Jay. It was easy to install, easy to adjust and seemed to work as advertised. The 327 in the 210 was fairly mild really just a warmed up early 300hp version. The setup probably would have taken more work to dial in with a more powerful motor setup. As it was mine would hook up in a car wash.

 

That is what I am talking about! Thanks man! Jay

 

Any updates on this one!! Love it!

 

what is the width of your dana axle.. flange to flange. narrow or stock width. car looks good.

 

The Dana is 58 1/2" drum to drum and is stock width out of an early b-body(66-67, Coronet/Belvedere). The later b-body(68-, Charger,Roadrunner etc) are about an inch wider and e-body(70-, Challenger/Cuda) is about 61".

 

Hi, Very nice build the work you are doing , you should be very proud of it . keep up the good work . real nice build . thanks for all the up-dates . skinnydude

 

I have been working on getting the rear openings in shape after the radius, I'm no body guy but I'll try anything, just about there
