Hi, we'd like to use some footage for our TV Show. What is the best way to get in touch with you?

Tomeighty , The reason I like the 55 better than the 56 or 57 is because the rear tire well is square , I never could understand why people wanted to ruin it with some patch panel , if you want bigger tires , narrow the rear end , it's got a built posi Trac anyway

@@jimthomas777 Cool, I love to hear why people like one car over another. And you know I'm going to be thinking of that wheel well every time I see one now. ha ha

@@tomeighty , Well my Chevy brother , while you are thinking about that rear wheel well , think about how Chevy changed the front grill on the 56 and 57 , they made it look ugly by going all the way across the front and in 57 they decided to give it rear wings only they are folded up and are called fins , but to compensate , Chevy put a bird emblem in the center of the hood and called it a ornament , Which most guys remove Because it's just plain stupid looking , And back to the 55 grill , Look at the 62 Vette grill and tell me what you see

@jimthomas777 2 жыл бұрын

@@tomeighty , I noticed that you replaced your hood ornament with a Super Charger Blower Thingy , Kinda big don't you think , So big in fact that you ruined the hood cutting a big hole in it just so people could see your ornament , Ha ha ha Now that was funny

03:25 That's why you don't put radials on the front and bias-ply on the back. Also appeared to have not quite enough caster(layback) in the front axle... Too much caster and you'll see them wobble/shudder on the back-up. 7°-11° is the working range.

The cars might not be the fastest cars going down the track anymore but they make up for in spades on style points and Kool factor at least 10 times over because who doesn’t like front engine dragsters and gassers with tunnel rams and blowers linings up and blasting down the strip like it was the 60’s again when a gallon of gas and a McDonalds hamburger were both 19 cents and 6 packs of Suds was less than a buck and a bottle of Thunderbird was 40 twice.
