I built the 55 to cruise and do a little racing with it. I just finished it and wanted to get some miles on it, but I started breaking rocker arms. I broke 2 of the Jesel exhaust rockers so far, and I was just cruising. I will take some pics when I clean it up.

looking good Mike. what are you doing with the Chevelle ?

As soon as I put another engine/trans in it (plus whatever else I stole off of it) I am going to sell it. I'll try to sell it in the LA are, so I won't have to see it again. I've had the car since I was 13 years old, so I really don't want to see anyone else driving it.

I pieced one together. Core support was the same, found some fenders, valance, header panel and a hood for a good price and bought the grill assy new.
