Features tri five chevys lets see em"

Awesome, way too cool

 

Still have my high school car, this 1956 210 hard top, been if family since new
55 210 has 283, 4 speed built in late 70's

 

heres mine...

 

Does anyone have any shots of the black 55 built by,I believe,Austin speed shop.Its black with gold scallops.Killer ride,I didn't see any pics of it,hope I didn't miss one

 

Heres mine not much to look at just yet..Started on it last year its been setting for 18 years.

 

Here's my brother Bob's in about 1969. He still has the car, and is doing a frame off. 283 bored to 301 with a 4 speed. Yeah, that's me in the back seat.

 

Here's my 55. First when I bought it in 1977, and today.

 

I had this one for a few years now. I plan on driving it soon,just way to many projects.

 

ok, I'm friggin embarrassed to show these for two reasons:
a) this shoulda been finished years ago
b) it's rusty and full of parts and stuff because it had to go outside for a while

...so please be kind...It's back inside now and my priorities are getting to where they should have been eons ago. hoping to get the bodywork done(finish chop, new tulip panel made, stretch doors, etc) by the summertime..one pic is obviously photoshopped to fill in door and tulip area and cover up some of the surface rust. I've not seen any (tri-5) post cars where the back window looked good or that the flow from front to rear was nice so I made a few simple cuts and removed about four inches of roof skin at the backlight(tapered cut;less material at the drip rails than the center because of the shape of the window and the fact that it would have to lean foward a smidge) and cut the c-pillars out to move them foward also...if I moved the c-pillars and window any further foward, the tulip panel would be far too long and I'd have to lengthen the deck lid.. the backlight is sunken and leaned foward until the surround butted up to the roof skin where I had cut it..obviously have to trim the c-pillar as it has only been cut away and not trimmed and put back in and also a million other little things to be addressed but this gives you the idea
...oh yeah, it's been cut 3 1/2" in the front and around 5" in the rear(the window frames arch upward before heading back down to the c-pillar on these cars and I wanted to cancel that out)

 

i don't know what the belly button reference is about, this thread isnt about model a's....

 

Heres my new 56 "150" tudor.Its my daily ,and is a blast to drive .It has an old style 350 (with a cackling little cam) ,M22 4 spd, and 3.31 gears.It has awesome 60's vibe interior .I love it ...

 

My '55 150....

 

My '57 150...

 

i've made some changes since this thread started..

 

That's got to be one of the best looking '57's I have seen. Very nice.

 

here are my dads 55 & 57
the 57 is'nt red its really orange

 

Do trucks count?

 

Here is a pic of my 56 I had for 13 years and a couple opics of my friends cars.

 

sold it..

 

My first straight axle street freak gasser car I built



Then I sold it on egay had my head up my A$$ that week!!!

 

We built this back in 1981-82. Tried to nail down the look of a custom from about 1961. Sometimes I run full wheelcovers and cruiser skirts as well.

 

That's the money shot right there--that '60s interior is right-on! The pale yellow paint is pretty sweet too and also very '60s. Killer score for sure.

 

If not for the modern car in the background (and the digital date) this photo could be right outta' 1960. Nailed it.

 

here ya go, nothing like poppin in the sectioned nomad, either ya love it or hate it.

 

Owned it since 1980. First car. 327, t-10 4 speed.



This is where it currently sits. Haven't driven it much in the past 12 years.

 

My '55 and my daughter's '55. She wants to do early '60s style with candy paint, white interior, and chrome rims with spyders.

 

This was a bone stock 6cyl/PG car with original interior. Now it has 327, muncie 4 spd, and posi rear.I just added the Impala wheel.

 

My 57' 210 work in progress...
