1955 Chevrolet Q/SA Build

Got her home today from the body shop. Thanks to Super Gas racer Carl Root for the great job. From a ruff unfinished body, to shiny silver paint in 26 days as promised. Pictures to follow as it was too windy to take it out of the trailer today. It will be so nice to finally start putting it back together.

Lyn,
Congratulations on your great build, I have great interest in these cars, icons of the Jr. Stock era and look forward to every update. Good work and good luck.

Another big hurdle done today with the refurbished frame found a home under the nice and shiny body. I lost some sleep over this one trying to figure out how to get the body high enough to get old nasty frame frame out, and new one back under. Went off without a hitch.
