    Well, here it is. I got the paint on it and started some ***embly. I still have a long ways to go, but I got it out in the sun today and shot a couple pics.

    The front splash pans never showed up on Friday like I'd hoped, so maybe monday.

    Hope you like it!

    Inmyarrogantopinion, I think EVERY tri 5 should have g***er wheel wells. Fine looking car.

    A gorgeous 55 Chevy, IMO the best year of the tri-5's! Very, very nice.

    Out of curiosity, what are you running for tires in the rear? Thanks!

    Cheers!
