426 Hemi in a '55 Chevy! Roadkill Episode 8
On this episode of Roadkill, HOT ROD's David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan hit the road on a quest to build a car they've both dreamed of for years: a '55 Chevy Bel Air sedan set up like a '60s Gasser and powered by a Mopar 426 Hemi. The guys drag out a '73 GMC Suburban that they'd never driven more than around the block (did you expect anything else?), then use it to pick up a bare '55 Chevy body in California before heading north for the 1,000-mile trip to Lincoln City, Oregon. That's the home of Jim Meyer Racing, the chassis builder that helps the guys turn the '55 into a wicked looking hot rod in a single day. There's no fail in this episode of Roadkill! Well, at least nothing terminal.

American Graffiti '55 Chevy Frame-Off
In 1985 Steve Fitch sold the American Graffiti '55 to Wayne Newsome in Maryland. Sometime thereafter the car was treated to a frame-off customization. As you can see, many of the components were painted red or chromed. The original rollbar was removed from the car, and a full leather interior installed (not shown in the video) The steering column with the steering wheel seen here - gripped by James Taylor in Two-Lane Blacktop and Harrison Ford later in American Graffiti - was later removed and a stock steering wheel installed.
