A brand-new Tri-Five Chevy, what's not to like?

This months "Street Rodder" magazine has an article on building a '55 Chevy from the ground up. Hot Rod did a similar aarticle on '57 a few months ago. The place to call is "Woody's Hot Rodz". They have access to frames and brand-new '55-'57 Chevy bodies. The basic kit is like 13 grand. Even if you spent 4 grand on say a GMPP ZZ4 crate motor, $1,500 on a new BW T10 4-speed, $3,300 on a Currie 9 inch rear with GM mounting points, a grand on seat covers and interior trim, and a grand on a Pete and Jakes straight front axle and disc brake kit, and 2 grand on paint and bodywork, you'd only have 25K in the whole project, and you'd have a badass, '60's style gasser look and the performance to back it up. You'd never find a restored '55-57 for anywhere near 25 grand. Like the guy in "Hot Rod" said-his was built with a nasty Rat motor-you don't care about cutting up the wheelwells  for monster meats, and you don't care about abusing it-if you hit a guardrail drag-racing it-it's not like you wadded up a $100,000 original. Just fix it. Even if you totalled it, you could build another one for about 15K-assuming you could salvage the engine and tranny and other parts from the wrecked one. I'd love to build one of these-I've got a ZZ4 crate engine and a Chevy TH400-I'd just have to pull it out of the 442 and put the 455 Olds / BOP TH400 back in it. Anyhow-if you always wanted a a badass, "American Graffiti / Two-Lane Blactkop" '55 ( Both movies used the same car )  nows your chance to have one for about the price of a strippy Honda Accord.  Mastermind
