55 210 project
A couple months ago A friend of mine sent me a picture of a car he bought. I have always loved 55's so I had to have it. I bought a 69 camaro 5 years ago to restore but I decided to start on this instead. This is due to my grandpa having 55 that he bought new in 1955. If I did the camaro first he may not be around to see the completion of the 55. Going to do complete frame off resto. I am going to try and post pictures as it goes.
I am looking at the roadster shop chassis. (If anyone has used this I would like to here from you) LSX engine with 4L80e transmission Day I brought it home.... http://i953.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps7a331259.jpg http://i953.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps28b70a90.jpg http://i953.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps17f607e6.jpg Finished a 3 Day tear down today and took it to body shop for blasting and new metal!! It is going to need a ton of work!!!! Should have all new metal on by the end of the year. http://i953.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps9526c6fe.jpg http://i953.photobucket.com/albums/a...pse2d13b09.jpg http://i953.photobucket.com/albums/a...pscfca4a29.jpg http://i953.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps0a612895.jpg http://i953.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps62284ecb.jpg http://i953.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps08f31323.jpg |

Roadster Shop has a finished '55 on here...posted it last week IIRC.
Here's another supporting vendor, Ironworks, who also builds tri-five chassis. http://www.ironworksspeedandkustom.c...es/cat_112.jpg http://www.ironworksspeedandkustom.c...es/cat_116.JPG http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...hoppics014.jpg http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...rch2011011.jpg |
Wow you have a cool friend. I would love to have friends that would give up their newly acquired '55's, ha ha
Any updates on this? I too picked up a '55 earlier this year, but I am holding off on it until my Firebird is driving. I'm going gasser on my '55 though. |
Love the 210's can't wait to see this build.
