Rebuilding A '55 Chevy From The Frame Up: Part 1- Horsepower S14, E12

[@pauldashwood2897]

Excellent job on the chassis…lovely 55

[@dw8840]

These shows make me want to go build something. If it were only affordable.

See our Video of the $1000 55 chevy.

​@@thecollectoronthecorner7061Yeah. That will be great!!!

[@leevahal900]

Step 1 start with a restored 55 and an unlimited budget.Or just weld the cracks.

[@ricksmith6735]

I'm in the middle of replacing my 57 chevy's tired old 327 with a Blue Print 540 big block... I'm now at an easy $50k spent! Needed to replace the rear end, put a Trimec TKX 5 speed in it and had to put in a flaming river rack and pinion w/ a new Ididit steering column. Added Caltrak traction bars and also re-did the suspension under it. One thing always leads to another! So, I can imagine what the cost of this build would be.

Sell the house, build a 55 "Super Chevy", what a ride.

[@tylergibleon3247]

Drop a nomad body on a newer 2500 frame and throw a mattress where the backseats are supposed to go. There's your house right there.

[@davidhimeback5455]

That fuel tank was nice but how can you change the fuel filter ????

[@michaelsimpson3548]

I would´ve kept the blower and the wheel/tire combo. Never get bored to look at..

[@klausvonschmit4722]

I agree, well, sort of, in my humble opinion a performance 14-71 blower is definitely a better look for a ‘55! Plus, that current blower would be to small for the new 580” power plant.. Not to mention, that existing blower is practically just a noise maker rather than boost making blower! As for the wheel/tire combo, the wheels will always be timeless! However, the rear wheels need to be stretched to be at the very least double the current rear wheel width!

[@jackbruce309]

I'm assuming you guys are pulling all that apart again and re assembling with grease

[@petersonoliveira8496]

Boa noite congrats vai amém bom trabalho

[@jamesdiehl8690]

So, what was wrong with the big block that was in it? Just the desire to upgrade again?

[@bigblockkings1031]

I wish I had an unlimited budget 😭

[@dylanspencer3662]

Never use 2 tape measures to set toe. Too many times have i had 2 tapes be different lengths.

[@RobertCaz86]

What spot weld removal tool is that used in the removal of the spare tire sump??

[@evo6swap]

Have you seen the 55 with the 2jz swap omg

[@porschmn167]

Must be nice to have unlimited dollars, not like anyone I know building our cars on a budget.

Looks like a 54 olds, and it already had a o.h.v. v8

[@marccardinal2578]

4l80e is a 4 speed not 6 speed 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@darthraider28]

yes bro and a 6l80e is the 6 speed auto @marccardinal

[@alanrlocklear]

I'm glad someone else picked up on that

[@and003]

TCI manufactures their own version of the 4L80E, but they manufacture it with 6 forward gears as opposed to the usual 4. TCI calls it the 6X 6-Speed, and this is the transmission that Joe and his friends are using in this particular project.

Put the super charger not the turbos
