1955 Chevrolet Delray Custom lets start at the beginning. The 1955 Chevy is one of the most iconic classic cars in American history. NEW for '55 was the wrap-around glass windshield, triangular tail lights and smooth straight panels and lower profile hood. The 1955, 1956, and 1957 Chevrolets are sought after by collectors, enthusiasts and hot rodders. Better known as the "Tri-Five's" are Chevrolets masterpieces of design. Chevy captured the boundless optimism of a nation. The Chevrolet Delray, named after the Delray neighborhood of Detroit, Michigan is an optional trim level on two-door models a distinct series of its own. It featured an upgraded upholstery and color-coded to the exterior.

The details are what makes a Big Difference. The frame off build started with a rust-free California body. The obvious challenges are creating a new car ride but keep to the traditional look. The frame and suspension have many modern upgrades such as front tubular upper and lower A-arms, adjustable coil over shocks, power rack and pinion steering, drop front spindles, and 1" sway bar front and rear. Remember this is a cam engine so a major upgrade to the braking. Start with Hydro-boost assisted tandem master cylinder. Four-wheel disc brakes are a must have. In the front are 14" CPP disc brakes with drilled and vented rotors, and 13" rear disc also drilled and vented rotors. The perfect choice for the wheels and tires is Bridgestone Potenza P235/40R18 and P235/35R20 riding on chrome American Racing Torq-Thrust II to keep the classic hot rod look and aggressive stance.

Performance comes from a 400ci Chevy SB bored .030 over to a 406 with a 4-bolt main. Plus, aluminum heads with polished air gap style inatke with MSD Atomic fuel injection.
