I've been picking away slowly on the 55. Gas tank and lines all installed. Exhaust completed. I just finished up installing the passenger side glass. I started ordering my parts to start my wiring. Its getting there!

Very nice ! I like the positioning of the exhaust clamps...:biggthumpup:

Half way through the wiring!

Very cool Jason! I’m loving this project.:headbang:

Looks great!

I also LOVE this project. You're doing a great job!

Just need anti freeze and fuel. She is ready to be fired up! Oh and hook up that mechanical oil line.

Absolutely beautiful !!!

EXCEPT that plastic oil line. PLEASE throw that away and go buy the copper kit. It will not only be much safer, but will match color with the body way better...:cool2:
Also available on Amazon, but I try to avoid that.

Nice!

Yep I thought about the copper line. I will order it. Its going to the top of the block so it wont be near anything hot. But now is a good time to replace it.

55 is running. Very happy. It sounds awesome and has a very good throttle response. Here is the dash all back together! Wish i could figure out how to post a video.

Wow. Very cool.

Well done !!

Sounds great!!!

That does sound good!

Slowly checking those tasks off! Dad and i installed the back window and trim today! Then I installed the package tray and inner back window trim.

Glass and the rug is all installed. Just waiting for my seats and door panels to be finished. While im waiting im just finishing up some small details.

We ALL be waitin' on your seats and door panels...:D
Amber, under body lights ?

Yes 8 LED lights mounted up under the inside of the frame. Not that I will be driving it at night much. I always wanted them on a car, so I figured why not!

They will look good at an "Under the Lights" car show too.

Moved her to the other garage bay today!

Finally got my interior back! Time to install and get the car on the road. I will post pictures of it all completed.

Looks awesome Jason

Little progress today! Hoping to finish it up tomorrow.

So cool! Looks fantastic!

You have an amazing talent. Happy cruising!!

Looks great!!!

Its been a crazy year. I got the interior installed and on the road. Lots of issues with the holley 94 carbs. Decided to pull the trigger and try stromburg 97s. I really want this 4 deuce setup to work! Ive learned a lot. I guess thats hot rodding! Where I am now with the carb swap!

Great to see some new pics, sorry to hear about the carb issues.

You could always go period correct efi... https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...aughing(1).gif

----The interior is gorgeous. Looks like it's totally done in leather. Am I right?....Bill S

Yes sir all leather!

Well just about 1 year later. Fought the 4 deuce setup all fall. Almost gave up until I talked to an old timer. He said you need to go back to the basics. My issue was my left passenger side carbs were drawing alot more air than my right 2 carbs. If you placed your hand on top of the carbs while idling the motor would suck your hand in. I knew this was my problem but why? That aluminum pipe goes back to a PVC in the lifter gallery. Can anyone see what was happening?


Here is the new project!

So, you need to also draw pcv vacuum from the other side to even everything out?

Do you have an actual pcv in that line, to limit the amount of air the carbs can pull thru ?

Exactly. On my 65 fuel injected car, it does not have a PCV valve. BUT......there is an elbow what has a .090 hole to draw a vacuum in order to ventilate the crankcase.

The line does have a PCV valve in line. I had a guy add that for me when he built my linkage. A real good idea but he tapped the line into intake below throttle plates and guess what, this intake has an oil fill tube with a breather. Instant vacuum leak.This is why I couldn't adjust idle with mixture screws. While driving it and trying to stop all it did was stall. I have it pretty much set now. I just have to tap my back carb above the throttle plate is what I was thinking to add the PCV back in.

I love the old paint on your 55..
