55 Chevy with a Roadster Shop REVO Chassis

[Roadster Shop]

This is a nice old 55 Chevy that the owner brought to us looking for some updating in the ride, performance, stance, and looks categories. Like a lot of cars out there, it was an older restoration that fueled the need to have an old car. However, riding on a stock 1955 frame and suspension with outdated steering, and inadequate brakes kept this ride in the owners garage instead of out on the road. "It looked great, but was no fun to drive". So, after some discussion, the owner brought the 55 down to the shop to install one of our new REVO chassis as well as a few other things on his "wish list".

• Roadster Shop REVO complete Chassis
• 12" Wilwood brakes
• Ididit tilt steering column
• Billet Specialties Hi-Boy wheels with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires
• Dakota Digital VHX gauges
• Re-wire entire car to clean up engine compartment and fix the mess of wires under the dash that went through an original fuse box.
• Install a Tremec TKO-600 in place of the worn out 4-speed
• Engine dress up with Billet Specialties Tru-Trac, valve covers, air cleaner, etc...
• Smooth the firewall and inner fenders and re-paint the engine bay.
• A list of other minor complaints/issues that the car had developed over the years.
• And a few other items that popped up once we got into the build!

Here is what it looked like when it arrived:
