That is a hot 55!

[ProdigyCustoms]

It was awesome!

[Smock67]

That is so clean with a perfect stance and some very subtle features.

[monza]

It was awesome! X2
the paint in person is amazing almost a 'glowing effect.'

[BossaNova]

Dayum. That is unbelievable.
Thanks for posting.

[compos mentis]

You are welcome.:)

I emailed them today asking for the names of upcoming shows Big Red might be in.

Does anyone remember Gary Kollofski's 55 Chevy from 31 years ago?

Sorry. Not Pro-Touring. But an incredible car nevertheless. It caused quite a commotion in its day.

Check it out:

Here's what happened to that car

http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=312897&page=3

Its in Hot Rod top 100 most influential hot rods #38. GARY KOLLOFSKI'S '55 CHEVY
Dzus-fastened sheetmetal is de rigueur today, but in 1977 it was only seen on full-tilt race cars. When Kollofski rumbled his blown, Rat-powered '55 into a show and un-Dzus'd the entire front clip off of it, it blew minds. The huge rear tires, progenitors of the Pro Street trend, were also brand-new for a street car. It graced our Dec. '77 cover. -Rob Kinnan

Back to Big Red...

[BossaNova]

Wow!
Thanks for the detour.

Big Red got me thinking, so I went on a little trip to a guy's house I know about with the intentions of buying one of his 55s. I got there and sadly I have to say he had resently passed away. I got to talking to his brother to whom the wife has put in charge of selling his cars and well all I can say is instead of one car I am now the owner of 4 55s. 1 Bel Air 2 Door Sedan, 1 One-Fifty 2 Door Utility Sedan (only 11,196 made) and 2 Two-Ten 2 Door Sedans I pick them up in two weeks. All four are project cars with straight bodys the Bel air needs a floor pan and trunk and the rest of them are in good shape.

I asked Justin from Scott's about that.

He said it is a custom mix.

[BossaNova]

Hot Rod of the Year, eh.
I can see that.

[Tyson A]

I'm going to be close to their shop off and on for the next couple of months so I guess I better put them on my list of places to see.

[compos mentis]

I hope some hi res pics of it can be taken and posted.

[Tyson A]

You can count on that.

[compos mentis]

Opinions of the 2 different lengths on the velocity stacks?

[70HuggerZ28]

Gorgeous car! Thanks for posting the pics. It'd be even more stunning with a contrasting carpet color like black but it's amazing how it pops in spite of the red carpet. :twothumbs

Wow awesome!

[compos mentis]

From my recollection, Justin Padfield, the owner of Scott's, said it made 872hp/tq on the dyno. The different length velocity stacks made it more difficult for Kenny Duttweiler to tune it. They are eye catching for sure though. I think Justin also said the wheelbase was lengthened a little and the top was lowered 3/4" toward the front. The car will not be raced though.

[MrRottnDog]

One of the hottest 55's I've seen anywhere!
