    IT'S A HUGE HIGH KICK OF PLEASURE TO SEE THAT YOU ARE HELPING KEEPING THIS ORIGINAL/TRUE LABOR OF LOVE ALIVE.I LOVE TUNNEL RAM MOTORS SINCE SEEING ONE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE GARAGE OF OUR FAMILY HOME BACK IN THE EARLY 1960's WHEN I WAS AROUND YEARS OLD.NOW I'M 61 AND I HAVE SEVERAL S/B CHEVY ENGINES WITH T-RAMS, KEEP THAT FIFTY-FIVE ALIVE.GREAT JOB..

    Dan sir that's one hell of a build right there . There is a lot of work to putting an old Chevy together . You should be proud . I wish I had half of your knowledge and ability .

    Good job , took me a few days to wire my old 56's , had to sort out the old generator to alternator stuff back in the 70's

    You have put a lot of time and skill in this 55’ , I keep forgetting that it started out as a four door . Nice work on the conversion and mods 👍

    It's a good feeling isn't it. When you build something that's cool and works. YOU DID A GOOD JOB. The grin on my face right now is as big as yours, and I had no part in building it. I guess that's what all "Hot Rodders" have in common. BE SAFE, TAKE CARE. It would make me proud to call you my friend.

    When you get a car, its "some assembly required" but it doesn't faze you, you just take it in stride and getter done as larry the cable guy says. I am proud of your work ethics. Not many guys see it done before they put it in gear to go around the block. Hell, if you see a stop sign, you can stop or give it some gas and smoke the tires. You can be proud!!

    • @DDSpeedShop

    Excellent job man! We are so excited for you and to see it running and moving under its own power! It looks and sounds good. Keep it up and get it cruising around town. You do an excellent job on these cars and it is great to see where this 55 has been and how much work you have done to it. Thanks for sharing this amazing adventure with us.

    @Chevyv8man1 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Congrats on getting it into a driving car. I've watched and loved this build from the beginning. You've done a great job on it. I've seen others convert 4 drs to 2drs and you've done it the best. Do yourself a favor and find a electronic wiper motor for it. Every time you touch the gas pedal you will pretty much loose your wipers. I've had a couple of vacuum wipers and they suck. 55 came with the vacuum or you could get a elec motor as a option so they aren't very hard to find. Good luck and keep videoing. Thanks for sharing your adventure. Later

    DDspeed congratulations on the 55 great achievement I think you would’ve really had a quicker builded if your building the car in a outside garage,,,,,, But everything takes time and a little inside garage just crank in a little better of the builded,,, Hey got one question who is aftermarket wiring harness did you use for the car ?????????????? could you get back to me on that one,,,, When get some time. Let’s see you try to burn those tires off the car .... I wanna see some smoke and not from the motor,,,, junkman do... I’m as old as the car I was made in 1955,,,,, Now I have to go drink some beer and eat some hotdogs it’s Fourth of July here in the lower 48
