55 Chevy Gasser Back from the Corner it Was Parked In! Wheel Stand Time? 🤔

  • Up next on the list of project cars sitting around the shop that need a new lease on life - the blue 55 Chevy gasser! I'm excited about this one 👀 Dad raced this car for a few years at various gasser events and then brought it to Drag Week for a couple years. There are epic wheel stand stories and pictures of it all over and it really was pretty impressive for what it was at the time. But like most other things, it got a little hurt on one of its last outings and then things got busy and other projects came up and the 55 got parked. But, it's going to get its time to shine once again. Join us on this first episode of the 55 chevy!

    QUOTE Dennis: This is a lot of work,it takes an artist to do this kind of work...... paint aint cheap when you consider all the stuff you need to do it right.......do you know how many hours are in this stuff and then a bird comes and stands on my work.......THIS MAN has earned my new respect, the way he "massaged" that quarter panel to get it so much straighter than it was is , like he said, ART! this is thee most talented man on you tube, bar none! who agreess!

Perhaps Cleetus could run a Dad Prix next Father's Day weekend at the Freedom Factory. It be nice to see former racing dad's race in the Crown Vics. He could see if he could get Dennis Taylor, Dan Patrick, Brian Deegan, and a several others, just to name a few.
