Cheers.

No snow here either but very cold. I managed to get "punishers" Chevelle running yesterday & we went out for a little spin in it, which was good. I took some photos of it but can't down load them onto the computer at the mo as someones taken the lead to my phone Grr!!

I was up in my attic sorting through some stuff & found some photos that I've not seen for over 20 years.

here's a couple of my '55 Chevy

Here's some of a car that I built. "Can you tell what it is yet" :lol: :lol: I made the panels & took a mould from them. They were then fitted to the donor car, prepped & then sprayed Ferrari red.

Taking a trip down Memory lane Nige?

That 55 looks somethin' fierce! What's the story to it, aka why isn't it still in your posession ;)

What's the paint job on it, looks like a Kandy - brandy wine?

The Ferrari tribute - is that on an F-body??

Cheers!

Ray

I don't own it now as I got divorced :evil:


This is it before

Here's the engine

I did a fame off restoration on the car. It was painted black with a BMW red pearl dusted over the top. In ordinary light it looked black but when the sun hit it it turned burgundy. Martin (sportsroof on here) did all of the mechanical work on it for me. It had a 468 cu in motor, tunnel ram, 660 centre squirter Holleys, roller cam etc etc. It was street legal & ran 10.57 @135 mph on the motor, no nitrous. It was built to run a 2 stage nitrous kit but it was never fitted.

No the Ferrari tribute isn't an F body......next guess?? :thumbup: :lol:

cheers...Nige
