I got my 55 Chevy put together and running just in time to go on the
first leg of the 1996 Hot Rod magazine Power Tour. It was so much
fun that I decided I had to go all the way the next year. So, I
spent the spring of 1997 doing work on the car getting it ready.
I got the seats upholstered by Dave's Upholstery, built the roll bar
using Ross's bender, overhauled the transmission, rebuilt the front
suspension, swapped the 3.25 gears for 2.75s, and did the two tone
primer job. Ross had been doing my machine work for years, he's a
gearhead like me, and he had the opportunity to take off two weeks to
go on the dream cruise--so off we went to LA to begin our
adventure.
