Project "Clarabelle" 55 Chevy

[sgaylord]

Now that Jezebel is done it's time for another project. Time to start working on the 55 Chevy that's been waiting for a few years now (almost 5).

In choosing names "Clarabelle" seemed fitting to be an older sister for "Jexebel", lol.

Anyway the plans are to not go all out like I did with Jezebel. More along the lines of a nice looking, clean, dependable cruiser none of us would be ashamed to drive.

This will be a fairly slow build as I gather parts.

Currently has

79 TransAm front clip complete with disk brakes, power steering, and sway bar.
Custom ladder bar rear suspension with coil overs

Plans include
Cleaning up the front clip install
Ditching the ladder bar rear suspension for 4bar/link and bags
Rebuild a 383 I have or retrofit a LS motor
Suede Seafoam Green paint (semi gloss)

Here is what she looked like when I first got her.


Here is where she is at as I get started.
