Euro 55 Chevy Update
Well...finally got all my pieces back from the powder coater. All the bumpers, grille surround, all bezels inside and out were coated a Bright Silver with a clear coat. Nice contrast with the Titanium Metallic (Porsche Grayish Color). Still working on the interior but the end is in site!!!

Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

I want a 55 so badly...
I really like what you have done with your 55. I would not have expected that the silver would look so good. Must be the gray paint that makes it work. Either way...very nice! Any pics of the interior?
What suspension, engine, etc. are you using? I want to build one with the AM frame.

I'm currently running a ZZ3 GM 345 HP crate motor with a Corvette 700R4 trans and a late model C4 Corvette independent rear suspension. I'm considering installing an aftermarket frame so I can convert the front suspension to C4 or C5. I just picked up a complete slightly used Street & Performance direct port fuel injection system which I hope to install this winter. I'm attaching some pictures of the interior and engine compartment.
Thanks for asking!
