1955 chevy 210 sedan build - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

gearys 5600 · 10-22-2012, 07:39 PM

I bought this car about a year ago and have been gathering parts for it.
These first pics of the car is exactly how I bought it.
The chassis has been blasted and painted, new front suspension, disc brakes, power steering, new radiator, engine, trans, gas tank, fuel lines, brake lines, firewall painted, etc...

gearys 5600 · 10-22-2012, 07:59 PM

I sold the engine and trans to a another member ( t-town dave ) and am in the process of building a 383 which should make 500 h.p. and 500 tq. mated to a tremec tko 600 5-speed trans.

The body of this car is pretty much rust free with the exception of a new trunk pan that the p.o. had installed.

My plans for the car is to make it old school with satin black paint, red tuck and roll ultra leather interior, I am going to flake part of the dash and the inside garnish mouldings, I am also going to paint the engine bright red with flake, I am leaving the cadillac air cleaner wich will have old school pinstripe and gold leaf.

The body and firewall will get pinstriped as well.

I have picked up quite a few parts for this car which include a complete moser 12 bolt rear end with ford ends, big bearings, eaton posi unit, 3.55 richmond gears and disc brakes.
Nomad back bumper, vintage air, new side trim, etc..

More pics when I get time.

gearys 5600 · 11-18-2012, 12:44 PM

DANG !! I guess nobody likes tri-fives on this site..

Looks like I will be building this one on the tri-five website.

**lolife99** · 11-18-2012, 12:48 PM

Love the 55,... just like all your other projects.
This section of the board doesn't get much action.

gearys 5600 · 11-18-2012, 02:00 PM

Yep, it is pretty lonely in the basement..

Sick ride! My buddy has a 210 also with a 427 small block, thing is crazy fast. I noticed there is not alot of fullsize car love on this board too. Oh well can't please everybody. Did you sell the air cleaner with the old motor?

gearys 5600 · 11-18-2012, 02:29 PM

The Cadillac air cleaner is going on the new engine.

Good man. Those air cleaners are one the best ever made in my opinion. Do you know if it's an original 50's or a new repop?

I lowered it a LIL bit and put a set of 18" & 20" coys on it and left it alone for now.

I still want to air ride it one of these days, for now I am leaving it alone.

The engine is getting built now and I still need to buy the trans. Hopefully I will have it done sometime next summer.
