Shoot, Deby has probably been in much faster cars than I have.
I'm joking about roll bar...but not about the helmet. Lol..

Looks great! I like especially like the top photo where you're melting the tires. You got a roll bar yet?
When you get one, let me know and I'll bring my helmet. My life insurance policy is paid up...
Yes, please post photos of the progress.
X2.
I have had an S&P modified F-body pan and the Holley version. The S&P was a bit of a hack job.
It would have probably worked okay but was slightly warped from welding and ugly as
sin. The Holley...
That's freakin' awesome!
I almost bought that car from Nick, but never thought about doing something that wild with it.
Please post more pics.
Totally agree. Beautiful colors.
Really, really nice work on that gasser chassis Lazlo.
Thanks guys, I appreciate it. You guys build killer cars, so I take the nice words as a real compliment.
Can't believe how quickly this thing is progressing now. I plumbed the brakes and the...
Lee,
I drilled out the spot welds.
A bit overkill, I know. I just didn't like the dented up crossmember.
Next up for my '55 vert project is to run LS fuel lines. Anybody buy a pre-bent stainless kit and adapt it or bend your own?
Pics would be great.
My '55 Vert chassis is finally back together and rolling! My friend Ben and I finished putting the rear end and suspension together and rolled it out the door. I was very happy how well everything...
Lazlo,
Please post pictures of how you're doing your seat belts. I always like the creative solutions you come up with.
We have a part-time business in which companies outsource projects to us that they don't have the resources to do in-house.
Due to the nature of the business it's sometimes very tough to calculate,...
Not a trifive story but when I was a kid in the 80's I had an all original 20k mile '74 Corvette (yep, a disco vette) that had the more powerful small block option, but was still nothing to brag...
That car looks really solid. I totally dig your Oldsmobile,too. You had a great plan and ended up with a car that really works.
Very cool, love those wagons. Post more pics.
Lazlo,
Your shop looks great. Wish I could see it in person sometime when we come up to Colorado. Really want to see your Nomad, too.
Is a stock '55 differential really "that" fragile?
Back in the 70's my uncle ran a 4:88 geared sock rear with an early posi unit in a 55 BelAir post.
He ran cheater slicks, a 4 speed, 12.5:1...
Anybody got any tips for powdercoating and rebuilding lower
A-arms?
I would like to do this without scratching up the powdercoating.
Any tips?
Great discussion. The corvette spindle and extended ball joint are cool ideas.
I really like the idea of improving the geometry using ingenuity instead of high dollar parts.
Now, how would you...

I'm a card-carrying member of the "take-one-apart-and-leave-it-sitting" club. I got my '55 150 Handyman back in 1979 when I was a kid. I took it apart that summer to have it painted and then my Mom...
The fact is that Danchuk makes a lot of reproduction trim parts for our cars and I need some....
What pieces do they make that are good or really good?
I've personally seen these parts and...
Welcome.
There's a positive side to waiting as long as you have. Now almost all of the parts are reproduced.
What are you missing?
Got any pictures?
