[SDRRACING]

Hi. I'm new to the forum and looking forward to discussions with you all and help on my new project. I just purchased this 55 Chevy recently and looking forward to enjoying it. The guy I purchased it from did a lot of nice work on it already. He put a Chevelle front end on it with disk brakes and a camaro 10 bolt rear end in the back. He created the stance by cutting a coil out of the front springs and put the rear end housing on top of the leaf springs. Has a great stance but not much suspension in the front. That is probably going to be my first change. Thinking about adding coil adjustable shock and a 2" drop spindle. Drives straight and great down the freeway. He added a tilt steering column, power steering and brakes. Plus he moved the fuel tank in the rear. The metal is in great shape. It has a 350 in it that he did a great job on building with all the right stuff. I competed in NHRA drag racing in super stock and set several NHRA records in my class. When he was telling what he did to the engine I told him I knew exactly what he was talking about. For instance he used a 010 block and installed hardened seats and stainless steel valves, low compression pistons, forged steel rods, and a mild cam so I can run this cheap unleaded fuel. He kept all the engine build data and every receipt for what he put on the truck. This is a great timeless treasure that I hope to have years of enjoyment with and doing some of my own personal touch to. I look forward to getting help and advise from you all. Take care Steve
