New Old school project

[GsrCrx]

Hey not many of guys know me, but my name is Matt and im the guy that owns the blue Lincoln Towncar on hydraulics, well this weekend i got my hands on another big project, damn shell alone cost me 5gs but i always wanted a 55 BelAir, anyways, it needs interior and some moldings need to be rechromed......ohhhh and the original engine only has 15,000 miles cause the car has been sitting for the past 35 years........

Im planning to have it ready in about 6 months with hydraulics or airbags also....

This is mt first old school project so if you guys have ever had one please give me some input on where to start.....

Lolol @ airbags. Later, QD.

lol my towncar has hydros bro, but im leaning towards hydros on this too, lol

[FasTech]

I like the project but if it were mine I would turn it into a Hot Rod instead of a Lowrider. But do what you do and keep us posted with the progress. :goodjob:

[puregroove]

[all_american_gurl09]

damn that is a nice 55' i hope all the best for you in finding everything that you need for it hey is that the orginial colors......

[WTF?]

:no: :no: :no: used to be such a beautiful car at one time :(

[GsrCrx]

Nah color is not original, it still needs to be buffed though.......

Start by taking those wheels off, and put a real suspension on there. You're going to give too many 60 yr olds heart attacks driving that around.

[GsrCrx]

Lol, COOL.......

[BamzRexsi90]

you lucky mother.....

[GsrCrx]

lol, Not so lucky bro, i got a 10k budget to rebuild it and parts are expensive as hell........

[Big_Joe]

Bad ass car man.

[GsrCrx]

Thanks man.....

[2turbo4u]

Please don't low ride it. Muscle car it.

[GsrCrx]

lol, not into muscle cars bro, i drive a turbo ef as my daily, lol, and i build lowriders for fun, this is my first old school one though.......

Depends on what you do with the money. My dad has less than $10k in his '57 Bel-Air coupe (including the car circa 1972) and is in the 11s.

Also, a shoe-box Chevy doesn't qualify as a muscle car. It would qualify as a hot rod with the right upgrades. :goodjob:

[ranger250x]

please do not make it a low rider.... ever seen a nostalgic gasser??
Or just make it look stock and sink more of your budget into motor and drive train.

Whatever you do, good luck to you.

edit:

[SouthrnStyle]

^ BOO! Please Bag it !!

[Catnip]

Who ever says to make a hot rod out of a 4 door Bel-Air is HIGH.

This is prime lowrider material.
