Nice work. Don't get any better than a 55 Chevy got to love them. Long live the Gassers 👍🏻

Nice detail in video. Very helpful! Thanks for sharing!

should have the new frame rails on the inside ID of the original frame to gain the extra 1½" - 2" on each side, that way you would have 16½" or 17" on each side instead of 15" then could put 15" wide tires instead of 12's or 13's

😂😂😂😂 speak for yourself.

It's good to take a measurement in an x pattern before you cut it... then when your news rss are on level them up , get you x measurement from a pick up point on the front frame to to a pick up point on the rear then you now it should be square

I thought about the Cornfield Customs back half to fix my ‘55 frame until I discovered the front of my frame was bent. I found another frame. It was rusty but straight, did all the repairs and now my body is back on the frame.

GM installed those “internal stiffeners” near where the frame kicks up both in the front and back. I worked on 2 different’55 frames this past year. On one frame the stiffeners were riveted into the frame, on the other it was installed with rosette welds.

WHERE DID YOU GET THE FRAME FAIL'S?

that green car is an old piece of junk! lol

Nice old machine

Just a fyi (if you don't know) Sand all Sharp edges on pistons to avoid hot spots.

Well Here we go folks another You Tube engine builder head porter..Hey fella . I been building cars since the Mid 70s and I can promise you anything more than Port matching for a novice is crazy ..you have NO business screwing around with any of that . But some how your ego told you to man up and try it.. You are a fool.

I built a motor for a guy that did truck pulls after I Deck The block call shy about .020 shall we order the copper gasket.020 I glued it down with aviation permatex. After the season we pulled part of the motor down and tried to pull the copper gasket off it was glued to the block permanently we had no problems of blown head gasket. Farmer gasket is only for when you don't use gaskets. By the way we used a Fl pro o ring head gasket for the main gasket

Need a thicker gasket.

Part number on those head gaskets Gary?

I'm not sure about your sketchiness rating. Seems more like a 9/10 ;-). Glad to see you survived though!!!

Switch to a wall mounted door opener.

Looking good brother. 👍

Sounds like we got some horse power going in there. Nice oil pan! Engine bay is looking good too. 👍

Good thing you didn't listen to the machinest. Shoot yeah that looks close enough to Chevy orange. 👍

An update! My Dad received confirmation from Ford he's been allocated one of these mustangs. In about a year he'll get it. Ford will hold the title for two years after that so it can't be sold that's part of the deal.

I hate when your week gets off to a bad start! Do overs!

Work benches are good to have. 👍

I was going to say that isn't a real 55 when you opened the passenger door but when you opened the driver door There it is! The famous door squeak 😊

More welding after this welding 😢😅 welcome to My world.

Looking good Gary! Unfortunately other stuff has to get done. The yard looks great 👍 cut quarters are not for everyone. Keep at it sir, you're getting closer with everything you get done. Will you be keeping the taillight lenses? They look good.

Yeah us morons make bank and take our job not so serious. That guy finished his day and went home happy. You sir bend over and take it and deal with alll the stress we don’t gotta. Bet you were mad cause you needed in there. LMAO

Paid

When the name looks like a third grader spelt it, I instantly trust the name lol

Timing is off.

Sounds like she's gonna be mean. Awesome project my friend.

Clean!!

Need to remove that crap muffler. Has to be open or it's not a real GT--40

Daughter here. Can confirm he is *not* Jay Leno. Please sell him the car so I can stop hearing about it!

Easy guy stop and catch your breath first! Looks great!

Hard

Breathing hars aint ya 😂

Years ago when cars were cheap a friend of mine wanted to sell me a 55 chevy 2 door hardtop for 25 dollars. I said no because you paid 20 dollars for the car. I bought a 57 chevy for 25 dollars instead.

You sure as heck do not sound very intelligent. And here you are calling FedEx names. HA

Nah, you’re an idiot. Delivery truck going to the deliver dock? No way! Your day was inconvenient for 2 minutes, poor lil fella 😢

Ty , I been saying fuck fedex ever since I heard some fucked up shit a driver did to a kid they kidnapped while working, pieces of shit, all of them.

One heck of a race car!

As a former "Exhaust Guy" (I use to work at a shop where I did most of the custom exhaust work in town), That Exhaust is beautiful. What transmission is that?

ITB's for the win! I had a customer who built one, himself (Superformance GT40) and designed an ITB setup (he was a skilled engineer). Always fun! I've had the pleasure and luxury of being around several of these cars, and worked with some legendary folks who had their hands on many of the originals, and stored and curated more than one.

Nice. Timing seems a bit aggressive on startup and a definite misfire. Sure it's not lean?

This makes me want to wrench again.

Ya I'm excited I really wanted a BB for sure.

Looking good man 👊🏼👊🏼

Nice work! I'm keeping my spare tire compartment. I use it as a place to put tools and stuff.
