Tri-Five Gassers...

my 56 g***er wagon with a 331 small block and a b-m reverse shift trans and a 12 bolt posi out back !!

 

My 55 at the Northeast Vintage Drags last Memorial Day.

 

Speaking of g***ers, have youns saw the hemmings motor news on YouTube. Chinatown confidential. Check it out. 4 part series.

 

Man, I dig it. Super cool!

 

I've always liked a 56 with a 55 front end. The best of both worlds

 

and i never noticed!

 

Thank you !

 

I did!

 

Cool '57 G***er that was parked next to me at a show last weekend. Wish I'd gotten more pics!

 

what green did you use on that 55? Looks killer

 

I would like to know as well.

 

In my opinion, a Ford/Mopar guy this is the ultimate 55 Chevy…

 

It sure is copied alot. It made a profound impact on hot rudders for sure. The car in pcture was a clone of TLB. Richard actually hlped the guy on the left get it righg.

 

I haven’t seen one clone that has the primer correct. The original had about a week’s worth of time spent on it to age the primer with streaks and bloching to make it look like it had aged, this was done for the movie by the guy that built the car. Everyone who copied the car doesn’t do this.

 

Yep that's right. Richard who is pictured with the car talked about how he originally painted the cars a light blue. Producers wanted a dirty looking primer. He said it kinda pissed him off. I think he said he used thinner to streak the primer.
