Hey guys,
Thanks for the reply's, your all welcome for the pics of the Great Race, i have more (like 150) but need to resize them, i'll post them in the event forum later today.
I wasnt too much of a 4 door fan until i saw this car, i have had this thing for 55 chevy's since i was a kid, i used to dream about them. But when it came time to buy one, the 2 doors were too far gone and too much money, and none of them ran. plus the 4-door is a "family car"
car fun for the whole family.
The 55 was completely original when i bought it, i wanted to buy somethng and drive the hell out of it at first, it was in great shape with little to no rust, descent paint, originall 265 v8, power glide, rearend, and suspesion. So far i have replaced the front suspension with dropped spindles, springs and disc brakes, new rebuilt motor from 1969 camaro with the 1970 corvette heads, new th 400 trans from TCI, rearend upgrade, new radiator from Mattsons radiator, (i just want to sleep with that radiator under my pillow its so damn nice) and a A/C set up.
over all ive built this car to be a family car and a daily driver, something very reliable and lots and lots fun for me my wife and kid, my other cars, the 53 and 49 i would like to go another direction with those builds, but thats in the future...need to finish the 55 first....... so thanks for the welcome everybodyIf it aint broke, fix it till it is.
