Our 1955 Chevrolet 210 Two Door Post

Before rebuild.___________________________________Latest picture.

This car was purchased by my grandfather in 1955 in Mass. It was kept in a garage all winter to avoid rusting.

We purchased it from my father in 1969, had it painted in 1971 and re-upholstered in about 1985. In 2001 we started a frame off modification.

We purchased a 383" SBC with Edelbrock heads and intake, Comp roller cam and rockers, Headman Camero headers and Holly 770 Street Avenger carb.

We have added a Jim Meyers IFS with front disks, r&p steering, & QA coil overs, a Chassis Works Fab 9" with ladder bars and coil overs, Explorer rear disks, Currie axles, Ford 9" diff. w/3.70 gears and Tracloc, BowTie Overdrives 700R4 with 2500 rpm lockup converter, Weld Rodlite rims, Goodrich tires, Vintage Air a/c and Frontrunner serpentine pulleys, Raingear wipers, CPP 8" dual master cyl., Mattson 2 pass aluminum radiator and a/c condenser, Ididit tilt column, AAW Factory Fit wiring, Grant steering wheel, Pertronix Ignitor ignition, Detroit Speed ps pump and lines, Earl Williams motor mounts and crossmember, Lokar parking brake lines.

I am doing all the work myself, so far.

This car has no rust and everything was in working order when we started dissassembly.

Sitting on it's own suspension for the first time. Checking out the stance and fit of the Weld Rodlite's and Goodrich tires. The Meyer's IFS includes a 2" drop in the front end. The Chassis Work's ladders can be adjusted over several inches.

My first attempt at forming brake lines. I changed the location of the proportioning valve from the CPP 8" dual diaghram booster/master cylinder.

The VA Frontrunner looks and fits nicely. Checking it for clearance from the front core support.

The Earl Williams motor mounts look and fit good. The trans mount crossmember is Williams, also.

The headers are Headman #68278 that fit a 70s Camero. They clear everything nicely, so far. They don't hang down too far below the frame.

The Headman's allow plenty of clearance for the Jim Meyer's rack and pinion steering shaft from the Ididit tilt column.

Visable are the lower control arm mounts for the Meyer's IFS and the R&P steering that comes in their kit.

I sandblasted the entire frame and welded in the crossmembers for the Chris Alston Chassis Works ladder bars and Fab 9" rear axle. Explorer rear disks and 9" axles are from Currie.
