Hi everyone,
About two weeks ago, I picked up a 55 Chevy. Plans are still in the air on this one, but I'm leaning towards two tone, with Lexus Pearl white top and trunk. Definitely going to run some big wheels, thinking 19/20 Rushforth Rated X in flat black and polished lip with hardware delete, and an interior to match the two tone. Car already has black leather, so I'm thinking perforated white leather inserts in the seats, and in the doors.
Motor is a 406, with all the flamed billet goodies, straight out of 1995. I will be completely changing the entire look of the engine bay in the next few weeks. Motor runs like a bat out of hell though...
Trans is a well built TH400, so I'm debating Gear Vendors, or a whole new 700r4.
So far, I've already ordered Baer Brakes for all four corners, and the new CPP master cylinder with the integrated prop valve. I am also ordering a custom, shortened Fab9 Rear housing from Chassisworks. The rear leafs have already been relocated inboard, so there is a tone of room for the 305/35/20 Nitto 555r I have to tuck up in there.
Some of the trim is definitely coming off, especially the lower rocker trim. (Yuck).
As soon as Jason Rushforth has finished the rendering, I'll post it up, and will continue to update you all with pictures as we move along... hope you all like it.
