  • Keep in mind I originally built this car for my neighbor the engine he put in it was a 327 that had sitting for a long time this was the first time starting it and such, so yea it ran like crap get over it !!! Since then we bought the car from him and are making all the necessary changes to make this car perfect. look for new videos coming soon including drag racing. UPDATE its coming life happens like falling off a ladder and breaking your back lol. So as soon as i can I will be finishing this car.

    Great looking car. She sits just right. 55's make the best looking gassers; 57's look wrong without the front bumper to me. Glad to see you didn't cut out the rear wheel wells.

    The '55 is still my favorite Chevy ever... This one is the way it's meant to be. Friends building it at home in their garage. Love it, love it, love it.. You guys did an awesome job. I was never exposed to radiation so you'll have to settle for two thumbs up...but I really want to give you 3!!!! :o)

    @stoneyswolf Před 2 lety

    I've been looking for a reasonably priced 55 for years to make a gasser and finally purchased a 55 gasser project no engine no trans. Can't wait for spring to get started. All the hard work is done just some body work and install the engine and transmission.

    @1955RodHot Před 11 lety +1

    So many builders radius the rear wheel wells for the bigger tires, it's nice to see one that leaves the real steel intact. I like them either way, but I know lots of people have a strong preference.

    I can't imagine how stressed out I would be before and during the cutting off the perfectly good front frame section. I've owed 35 cars and trucks since 1976 and I don't know how I've never owned a 55 Chevy. Always loved em, but never owned one. Maybe the next hotrod will be one?

  • @shananagans5
    @shananagans5 Před 11 lety +2

    Very nice build. Kudos for keeping it accurate to the day but I gotta say the way they did the front ends on the old gassers is a little scary. Be safe & enjoy.

    Funny how when the taillight is removed its easy to see how the 56 evolved a little different. I like how cars just had little differences year to year . Tri 5's the 56 is my fav because of memories in my brothers car in 1970 _ 71 but 55 was the real gem of the 3 IMO.

    I have to say, what a beautiful job you guys did , the workmanship was outstanding. But I was under the impression that the "swing" hangers for the front axle went in the rear, and the stationary ones in the front. Just my thoughts.....GREAT JOB !

Any More..... & It's NOT Boring Video To A Small Scale Vehicle Customizer, bcz We Can't Afford to Do It For Ourselves But We Can Feel Each Step of the way in our Minds...
