Features tri five chevys lets see em"

Mine is really rough, but hey all 55' chevys are pretty photogenic!

 

Here's a pic of my old 210 sedan, I wish every day I would of kept it.

It was an old drag car that had a 406 ci big block, 4speed, 12 bolt posi, ladder bars, and tilt frontend.

 

That is what mine looked like, but the floors and trunk had to be replaced. But it is coming along, hoping for the Texas Thaw in Feb.

 

DAMN! That's a twin to my 1st car (1970). Same colors and blacked out windows too. I paid $20. Almost that clean, ran, but smoked like Hell. Rebuilt the motor in auto shop for $107. COOL COOL COOL

 

Damn right! Looks great just sitting there.

 

The shorty was built from a 4dr ba sedan body shortened 18" roof 24" was mine now runs 10.30s at the drags. The 55 pontiac (Canadian) ended up as the gold 55 chevy with a change of quarters and front clip ,dash was left pontiac.

 

More before shots of the Pontivrolet

 

Great thread! The Tri-5s are camera hounds, regardless of condition. I love them all, but partial to the 55s. There is just something about the stance that catches my eye. They look like they were built to run. I've loved them since I saw them on the show room floor.
Johnny your Pontiac to Chevy is very interesting.
I've had an old 55 4dr Belair for 30 plus years now, and just finished a re-do.

 

this is an awesome thread. my girl's dad has a 55 hardtop thats been sitting for years because he's going to build it someday. i hope i can convince him to let me have a crack at it!

 

Here's mine. Running it at Famoso and Sacramento Raceway. 12.55 and 107, so far.

 

Dang Mo FO, That tunnel set up is trick, are you going to name that car Tricky Mo Fo ....

 

I would love for someone to photoshop 40stude yellow 57 and lower it a bunch. I was leaning towards this look when I bought my chrome OE wheels and cheater slicks but I have to have it alot of lower.

anyone out there capable of doing a quick photoshop lowering of it for me (front fenders tucking the top of the rim, back at about mid rim).

 

Here's mine...

 

...

 

henry, thanks for lowering it and removing the wording (I had forgotten to ask but did not want to go back and ask for a second favor), that is the look I was wondering about. Now i know it would work. My version of Project X. (would go a slight be more yellow)

anyone know what color Project X was painted

 

Looks too pro-street to me with that stance....

 

Bones, If I remember right the Project X was painted 76 or 77 Corvette yellow.

 

Yep

Rat

 

Code 56. I've had many painted cars that color

 

I'll start on mine someday...

 

henry, here's a pic of mine when i got, and i live right across the river from you.

 

Damn, what a difference in that car...but you wouldn't have wanted to own it...it hated me...always broke when I took it out...prolly would have killed me if I hadn't gotten rid of it...

R-

 

sold mine......shoulda kept them

 

henry29, have you seen an orange 55 150 2 door sedan anywhere? last i heard it was at mills body shop in chandler. it was in pieces when it left. i'd sure like to have it back.

 

I have had three 57 sport coupes

 

How long ago was that?
