Chevy 1955 custom & mild custom

Comment chopper des bleus à la tete!   
Drole d'idée!

1955 Chevy 150 2 door sedan, which came from Texas. Car received a rotisserie restoration with thousands of hours spent to make this a one of a kind custom. This car has high quality components abound and custom touches everywhere you look. This is a machine for someone who wants a truly special car. This car has won many National awards including Good Guys Custom of the Year Finalist, Street Rodder Top 100. The car has been featured in Rod & Custom in January 2012. This 55 Chevy has more than 2000 hours of labor poured into it with pain staking attention to detail, the result is a "California Custom" which looks straight out of the late 50's or early 60's. Now for the facts on the car itself, it is a 283 small block Chevy topped off with a 6X2 Offenhauser polished intake from Vintage Speed, finned aluminum valve covers. Cooling is supplied by a Tuff Stuff aluminum high flow water pump with Billet Specialties pulleys, and a Griffin polished aluminum radiator, an aluminum 110 amp one wire alternator and a MSD ignition system, angle plug block hugger headers mated into a manderal bent 2.5 inch exhaust system with Thrush glass pack mufflers that give the engine that great 50's sound. The 283 is mated to a brand new Turbo 350 automatic transmission from B & M, has an external aluminum finned trans cooler, car has a 605 power steering box with Mike McGaughys 2 inch dropped spindles and dropped coil springs and power disc brakes, this makes it effortless for turning and stopping. Front suspension is all new with polyurethane bushings and new upper and lower ball joints. Has an original 55 Chevy rear end. Rear suspension is a 5 leaf 3 inch drop leaf spring set up, with all new bushing and shackle kit, with 3 inch lowering blocks which gives this car an incredible look and stance. Grill is a hand made custom polished stainless steel tube assembly....absolutely one of a kind!! Every piece of chrome on the car is brand new and shines like a diamond! Another cool feature on the car are the dual fender mounted spot lights and the long chrome lake pipes, definitely a nice custom touch. All weather strip, seals, whiskers, grommets, fasteners and clips are brand new. The 55 rolls on 15 inch Coker tires mated to 15x5 front and 15X7 rear Wheel Vintique wheels. From every angle this 55 just pops!! The custom interior in the 55 is a classic and tasteful, yet infused with enough custom touches to set it apart from the crowd. The dash board is a stock 55 dash with a custom insert. All gauges are Auto Meter complete with tack which are installed in the chrome cups with a hand made aluminum bracket. All new wiring harness and an Ididit chrome tilt steering column and a Lokar shifter and pedals. The white tuck and roll interior is tasteful and attractive, nicely done by United Auto Trim of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. In short this is a spectacular, purpose built car meant to drive and show!
