Hello to all, I have some shots of my '55 Chevy 2-door Belair; it was a 2 year project. As you all can probably see it had been left as rusted junk, but I talked the previous owner into selling it to me. It had been stripped and all the glass broken out, plus it had been sitting outside for 15 years. So I had to rebuild everything. Like most old car projects, it was gonna be a driver. But as you will see, it ended up as a New Modifies 1955 Chevy. It's a mate to my '55 red truck that was in last years Ottawa Car Show. So here we go, hope you all enjoy the pics. Roger Whitaker. |
