Project N2Deep

As in too deep to stop now!

My 72 project has been on hold for awhile so I figured that if I started a build thread it might motivate me!

Current Mods:

Devious Customs 3-link
ART Strong Arms
Firestone bags (F/R)
Shaved drip rails, Door handles, locks, cowl, cab pinch welds, cab seam line, dash and firewall
One-piece windows
Custom wheel wells (f) and hinges
67 front clip
All body gaps reworked (1/4")
CPP cross drilled brakes (F/R)
CPP drop spindles
Eaton posi
Intro Vista 20x8 (f) 22x10 (r) wheels
Edelbrock 430hp polished crate motor
Bowtie overdrives stage II 700R4

I figure I'm about half way done

I want to get the bed back on and have it tubbed
and install the drivetrain.

This weekend I installed the bumper on the 72 and bagged the front of my 55 Belair with Art Shockwaves, ART tubular control arms and drop spindles.

More to come!!!

Re: Project N2Deep

Nice little collection of toys!!

Are you happy with the Hopsters on your 55?......they look damn good. What are the sizes and got some pix of the 55?

I've been kicking around getting a set for my 72.

I like the wheels but will change to some 19x7 & 20x10 Intro wheels after I bag the rear. Some more pics of the 55!

The shop used trailer fenders (Not sure size). They will use larger ones for the rear! Deviouscustoms.com

No it's not

Not when you're sitting still in traffic for an hour when it's humid and 98 degrees out and there's no breeze

When I lived in NY I never owned a vehicle with A/C, it was only "stupid hot" maybe one week a year. Here is SC, It can be "stupid hot" for like 4 months. In SC A/C is not only a nice bonus, but a necessity

VERY NICE RIDES! I love the '55.
