1955 Prostreet
 

Thought I would post a couple of pics on this section of the board. This is my 1955 Chevy 2nd series I am building. I just finished the back half. Now I will install a IFS up front and start building my 496 BBC.

Are those the stock frame rails?

Yes they are the stock frame rails just boxed in.

Looks good. How much clearance between the Tires and framerails? Looks real tight.

Re: 1955 Prostreet
 

I agree.... sure does look good.... I'm hoping to take the cab/bed (body off) iour C10 in a few more weeks. Got a few "honey do's" to finish up on and some "just for now" work on the El Camino I just picked up (my daily driver).

Re: 1955 Prostreet
 

From the widest part of the tire to the frame rail is 1-3/4". I have 1-1/2" from tire to fender lip. This tire size just fit. I contacted Mickey Thompson and got the specs I would need before finishing everything. They told me 1-1/4" to 1-1/2" tire to whatever clearance so it was perfect.

That's wicked... I have a '57 big window that I'm rebuilding. I've had it since 1989. I brought it home from Riverside, CA. It's been in pieces in the garage since 1997. I've got a '73 XJ6 IRS for it but I like what you've done also. I've got a '73 454 that I'm going to stroke to a 496 next spring.

I'm thinking about the prostreet look!

Thanks for some inspiration!
