55 Chevy Modern Pro Street
 

I had to put my car aside for awhile when we moved to a new home. It's been kept at my buddies place where I stopped today. Still plenty of work left to do so I took a few pics (yeah it's abit dirty) to keep the inspiration going. Soon we'll be doing a DIS conversion, adding a water/meth injection system and finishing up some bits that we didn't get time to do before we moved. Maybe make a full chassis dyno pulls and see where 14 or 15lbs of boost will do.

My buddies uncle says "it's too low"....I think it's alright

VERY NICE--UNCLE MUST BE OLD SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!! LOL :unibrow: :unibrow:

Twin Turbs.... Nice!!!

Awesome ride

dig the tri-5s! My uncle had a 55 back in the 70s when I was a little kid... if you saw the ride height maybe your uncle and mine are of the same era :D

I think the ride height is fine... were it me the only change would be to rake it by dropping the front more. I am a big fan of rake on anything hot rod tho'...

Are the fronts 15" wheels? They look smaller than the rear, but may be a tire/fenderwell optical illusion. If they are smaller, I think same size 17s on the front would make a great match, especially with some rake.

Thanks for the compliments.

The fronts are 17x7 and the rears are 17x11. I drive the crap outta this thing, if I lower the front anymore, it will likely start to induce bump steer as the lower control arms are "just a tick" up from level now. I will try lifting the rear up 1/2 to 3/4" and see how that looks!

The stance is great! PITA to remove the back tires, but it is definitely worth it.

Looks awesome! :thumbsup:
Whats the tire brand/size up front?

BF Goodrich Traction TA 225/55/17

Thanks!:D Thinking of a similar wheel/tire setup for my El Camino.:thumbsup:

That is a badass '55, really love tri-5s :thumbsup:

What are the motor specs?

565BBC w/ Dart 320's and a small roller. The T4 based 76's come on real hard to 6k. We run 9lbs max on the street and won't know what power it makes until we get on the dyno in a week or two. Still working out the bugs.

Perfect Stance !!!!

I have one more question Dennis, did you measure the diameter of the M&H tires? They list it as 29.5" tall, but then again it isn't a true '390' either if it can fit on a 17x11 wheel. I wonder if they aren't as tall as advertised?

some updated pics
