55 Chevy Full Build

[donsrods]

Come on Steve, you have 3 months left, you should be able to make TR. It would be nice to see it moving around under it's own power.

Looks great! I look forward to seeing more progress!
Maybe next time I'm down that way I'll give you guys a heads up and come see it in person!

Sounds good to me.

I'll introduce you to the art of the waterjet. It has been one of the most versitile tools I use. I can not believe how handy it is even in my limited biz.

Don't wanna hijack Gastrick's thread (I'll remove this post later) so please post pictures in a new thread. We'd love to see it, brand name... etc!

Don

We will give it our best shot Don. We still have to weld in an entire new floor, do alot of work on the rear, figure out gas tank configuration, figure out wiring and air lines that will get run through the frame, make access panels for that and exhaust and so on and so on. You know us, we try to mix it up come Daytona time so who knows.

Anyone (Don) have a solid place to stay in Daytona area for the TRR?

Ratty, Don and Gastrick stay at the Speedway Ramada Inn which is across the street from the track. I used to stay there but now stay at a hotel next door.

Thanks speed racer ... thanks speed racer ... sorry I got carried away .....I'll check it out.

A little update here. We routed the a/c lines which are hidden for the most part.

The a/c lines are fully installed in this photo but where are they?



We made compartments with removeable sides under the fender.




There's no real evidence of the modification to the fender from the outside.


The dryer is tucked away in the kick panel.

 

[ratty 46]

Very clever my friend ...... Looks kick ass.

I came across a 454 for my '46 coupe ..... now need the 5 speed to complete the driveline.

As always, very nice clean work!

 

[42chevy]

You do good work. That has to be one of the cleanest and most well executed jobs I have ever seen. You are what I would call a professional builder. I mean that as a compliment.

 

[deluxerux]

amazing work. Good job.

 

[Tripper]

As always... WOW!!!

 

[Drewski]

I have tried to cover as many build threads as possible, but somehow I had missed this one. Great job!!! I really like all the detail. Look forward to more on this build.[P
