Thread: 55 Gasser

Tweet

Thanks for the complements. I really was not trying to copy anything. It's just that when I traded my 29 Model A for the 55, the axle was already in and the rear wheel wells were cut. Then I thought it would be fun to drag race it....... and so off I went. The color was not designed to copy that "other" 55, its just that my buddy got cancer and I didn't want to wait for the nice paint job. So I took my remaining primer over to the paint shop and asked them to make it as dark as possible. So it turned out sort of charchol and I really like it. I have a 56 that is in need of attention, and then I picked up a 57 2dr hardtop that has all the parts. I was thinking of setting them both up as gassers also. Don't worry, I won't cut them or put straight axles on. Just do them old school with nose high and Cragar SS mags. It would be really cool to have a garage with one each of the tri-fives set up like that! Just like we used to do back in the day!!

very cool dont see too manys done up like that anymore
