Info on this amazing 55 Chevy?
 

Hi all,

So, I have started back up on my long 55 chevy conversion from a Kustom to a pro tourer and was searching the interweb the other day and came across this radical 55 Chevy over at grassroots.

These 2 pictures are the only ones I can find and info is limited:

Said to be modified steel 55 shell on an old winston cup chassis (something about the original chassis being in days of thunder movie with a diff body...)

Does anyone have any info or pix on this car?!?!

A build thread would be awesome!

Thanks for any help!

BTW..last pic is how my 55 sits today...:D

That's freaking wicked looking. I'd love to see that thing going around a NASCAR track.

Nice to see someone get serious with these cars. :wow: :cool: :thumbsup:

That is fantastic! So very cool... would love to see more pics and info too!

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :hail: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

its a damn Streetfighter 55!!!

wow!!

Both cars are cool. I grew up in Hueytown, AL where the Bobby and Davey Allison and Neil Bonnett (old school Nascar guys) had their racing garages. There were all sorts of vintage race cars that they had raced over the years and there were quite a few shoeboxes. None of them sat like that one though.
Your shoebox is cool too, is that its static stance? That is the lowest 55 I have seen.

Thanks man....that is the parked height...bags aired out...frame on ground.

Ride height is about 4" higher....

Crush, where you at in FL? :thumbsup:

Ft. Lauderdale area here :thumbsup:

Me Too...:D

Welcome Crush. :thumbsup:

Looking forward to seeing more of yours on Lat-g. :cool:

Hey Krush, how about posting some more pics of your 55 as it is now. That rear shot looks awesome!

Thx man!!..:D

Here are a couple shots....as she sat till a couple months ago when I stripped her down to shell and frame...:wow:

Threw in the new buckets just to see how they fit before teardown...

Pro-jection efi motor is the old 355 and new motor is 427 sbc with hillborn 8 stack efi w/ FAST computer...:lol:

Looks like a real nice start Crush. :thumbsup:

I like the Lightning Rod shifter. Did you keep that?
