Pro Street 55 Chevy

This is really coming together nicely. Can’t wait to see it finished

[James2]

Finishing up some pieces and assembly. Body is almost ready to prime and I need to tie up a few loose ends.

I’m loving this so far!!

That black engine setting in the business end looks mighty fine against that white body.

That is an amazing look. I have NEVER done a '55 sedan before, maybe it is time. I picked up some pro-street chassis parts, I believe from Iceman. 

[James2]

Today I added the pedals, brake master cylinder and some wheelie bars. Now I realize I used the brake MC from the Nova, which appears to non-power brakes. That will need addressed! But after the WB went on. Do I add a spoiler and chute? After all it is a Pro Street car...

What do you think?

[FoMoCo66]

I think spoiler but no chute. Just my opinion. 

[Zippi]

If it was my build I would keep it clean and more on the sleeper side.  You don't want to advertise you have a street beast.  I'd leave the spoiler & chute off.

I hear ya, but I think the blower and scoop sticking out of the hood are a giveaway. LoL

I hear ya dude but a chute to me means a 8-9 sec car.  Either way it's going to look pretty kewl.

[slusher]

I would add a spoiler..

[Bainford]

That thing is looking killer. 
Purely for aesthetics, my vote is no chute no wing.

Making hood pins and bumper fitment

Slowly but shirley am I right. Nice paint. Are you going to black out the trim or put chrome on it.

[slusher]

That’s going to look sharp!

Thanks, the side trim will be chrome, everything else will be black including the head and taillight trim.
