Baby HEMI (1955 Dodge Hemi)
Welcome to the Brake Oil Garage build showcase! I'm excited to share my personal collection of automobiles with you. As a passionate enthusiast, I primarily focus on classic cars and trucks. While I'm a MoPar guy at heart, I appreciate all makes and models. This site is a labor of love, documenting my journey of building and restoring these vehicles. I am not a professional builder, so this is for fun. Hope you enjoy and send me feedback.
My Latest Build
When you ask a friend if he has a Slant 6 he wants to get rid of and he offers you a HEMI instead, you take it. This is just one of my friends, Phil Brown, who knows more about MoPars then I will ever imagine. Yes, he is one of my go to answer men and one Hell of a friend. The HEMI you see is out of a 1955 Dodge and I have it in the shop as part of my "Shop Art". How many people just have a '55 HEMI laying around???
You can see it was not a clean paper weight when it made it to my shop. Thanks to Mom and Dad for making the trip (I still have a full time job) and bringing it home. Took me quit a while to get it cleaned up and ready to paint, but it turned out pretty nice, I must say.
More About My Builds
I do my best to do as much work myself, but there are times I rely on my friends to help do what I can't. I plan to help those friends with their builds and promote them in any way I can.
