55 Chevy Gasser Back from the Corner it Was Parked In! Wheel Stand Time? 🤔

  • Опубликовано: 2 июл 2024
  • Up next on the list of project cars sitting around the shop that need a new lease on life - the blue 55 Chevy gasser! I'm excited about this one 👀 Dad raced this car for a few years at various gasser events and then brought it to Drag Week for a couple years. There are epic wheel stand stories and pictures of it all over and it really was pretty impressive for what it was at the time. But like most other things, it got a little hurt on one of its last outings and then things got busy and other projects came up and the 55 got parked. But, it's going to get its time to shine once again. Join us on this first episode of the 55 chevy!

    QUOTE Dennis: This is a lot of work,it takes an artist to do this kind of work...... paint aint cheap when you consider all the stuff you need to do it right.......do you know how many hours are in this stuff and then a bird comes and stands on my work.......THIS MAN has earned my new respect, the way he "massaged" that quarter panel to get it so much straighter than it was is , like he said, ART! this is thee most talented man on you tube, bar none! who agreess!

Putting that old school knowledge with the new technology we have, he's definitely shown his talent! How's Nick doing Alex? You guys should come to FL. I'm almost finished w/my 99 Camaro SS. 44k mile car, navy blue, I put a QP fab 9 in it, 3.70 gear, MWC anti roll bar, lower rear control arms, i just need good shocks or coil overs for radial car, built MVB TH400, no brake though, CircleD converter, 11.4:1 408" LS from a 6.0 iron block, done by Mike Lough, and assembled by me. Started with a bolt on Huron Speed t4 ac kit, which keeps stock stuff, radiator, air, etc. Worked with a small turbo, but I had to get a 91/102 FIS from Jose, and still concerned about back pressure issues! Need to add a 2nd gate, bought a Griffin radiator, common thing to do in these cars to make room, but with slim puller fans on a slim shroud, the turbine housing hit, so i cut it all out, mounting radiator in front of core support! It's going soon for exhaust and to have some v bands added, as well as modified for this little "T4 wannabe"!lol
