55s are up there in my favorite cars. very clean look you have with it. I also would like to know what you have for a drivetrain.

 

[Chuck Leeper]

Thanks!

Beautiful!! Details on the drive train?

6.0 LSX w/ a mild cam, dual exh, cai, Trailblazer converter, 4L65E trans and a Ford 9" w/ 3.50 gears/locker.

No road miles yet. Have to get the folks satisfied at Hagerty, for $50K coverage...
Engine has 15K on it, as does the trans.[H2 Hummer] Rear end is all new.

Should be a hoot to drive.
I'm done w/ the show car stuff... This one is a driver, and will hopefully see several 1000 a yr.

That should be a kick in the pants to run around in! Love the look and stance. Good luck with the Haggerty folks. Jon

That thing is beautiful! I love the paint combo and the stance. Do you have the stock ECM in it? Should be pretty much a trouble-free new Chevy as far as driving it..nice!

Very nice shoebox Chevy!

The PCM is the 1 that came w/ the engine/trans. I bought a harness from Howell.

My bud and I are doing the tuning. LOTS of parameters to look at!
Given it was a "smogger" to begin with, there's LOTS of controls that need changed, deleted, etc.
We spent about 2 hrs last nite with getting cold start and idle close. [Still seeing ltft's too hi..More data logs and tweaking there].

Once it's right, there's little to keep up with for monitoring, changing.
It's equipped w/ a wideband, so seeing what's going on is relatively easy.

All I lack, is finishing up!!

Love the 55. I've told my dad for years that I wish I had his 55 from my youth. Got a pic of me at 3 standing on the fender.

Cool car. Love the modern engine set-ups in the vintage old cars! Bet that thing will be super fun to drive.

Doesn't always have to be a black regal lol

Chuck,

That is a sweet ride. Don't matter how fast it is. Just cruise around in that and enjoy the ride

I've been hunting for a decent 56 to build for my dad... It's his all time favorite "dream car" ....

Post more pics when you have time!
