New guy - Long time lurker...building a 55 Chevy 2dr Sedan

[Newstalgia1]

Hello all. You guys and gals have some amazing rides!! There is some great inspiration here!

I am a little better than 1/2 way thru my build. On a budget doing everything myself that I can. It is a 210 model that has had an eventful life. Drag car for many years...last time on the street was in 1972!! Rusted to no end when I got it, metal work is now 90%. New floor pan, trunk pan, inner and outer wheelwells, 1/2 qtrs, rockers, etc.!!

Will have a somewhat old school look/feel with improved handling/drivability with 4 corner coilovers/17/18 in Torque Thrust II's. Hence the name Newstalgia1!!

Specs:

RR - Heidts Triangulated 4 link suspension. Heidts adjustable coilovers
FR - Narrowed 2nd gen Camaro subframe w/tubular upper A-arms. QA1 coilovers
Eventually a complete custom Chassis built by me.
18 x 9.5 and 17 x 7 Torq Thrust II wheels. Nitto tires.
4 wheel disc - eventually Wilwoods


9in Rr Narrowed to 55in. 3:50 gears. Auburn Posi.

TH-350 trans. 3,000 stall.
Eventually TKO 5 spd. Aluminum driveshaft.

Oldskool smallblock 355...yet to be built.

Mods:

Custom headers / exhaust
210 belt line stainless trim shaved
FR/RR window stainless removed
Custom chassis stiffening
Custom sway bar
Modded inner fenders
Custom core support
Flush mounted M/C
Gas door filled / moved to trunk
Hood bird removed / trunk lid smoothed
Wing windows removed

Looking forward to being a part of Pro-touring.com!!

Lots of work, looks good. Be careful narrowing that front sub. It does affect the steering geometry and ackerman.
I just picked up a '56 wagon that needs floors. Outside looks okay. I went with the TTII's in 17 and 18 also.

I have the Heidts 4 link welded in, exhaust nearly finished, gas tank mounted. Getting ready to fab the trans crossmember and engine frame mounts.

Cant seem to load pics at the moment. I'll try again later.
