Re: '55 Chevy gasser build
After a lot of bodywork on and underneath the body, it was time to paint the underside of the body while the frame was at the powdercoaters, all the front suspension was being chromed,and the engine was at the machine shop getting machined and assembled.

Re: '55 Chevy gasser build
Picked up the powdercoated frame, rear end, and ladder bars. Picked up the chrome straight axle and front end. Time to assemble!

Re: '55 Chevy gasser build
As of 2 weeks ago, I sold the car to a friend of mine. He is assembling the car the rest of the way, but I will update this thread every so often as he gets further along.
