does this qualify?

 

there was a really cool tri-five chevy at the detroit autorama this year, and it was for sale here on the hamb, anyone got pics?

 

check out Kustoms Illustrated 13 there is one in the first feature, very similar t what you have there just with what people have said done, lower, wide whites and chrome bumpers, it even uses the vette grill and similar taillight treatment, check it out it would be the dictionary definition of mild kustom 55 Chev.

ok heres an up date i got her lowwered changed the wheels and the motor got rebuilt-327- and put in a 5 speed ,next am going to base it-

 

front

 

327

 

Good choices. You took that car back to the early sixties. Looks great under the hood also. Nice job.

 

up date -just got it based,next [very soon] i'm going to do the roof - pearl white

 

No offense, but I liked it much better solid blue.

 

looks good, but i liked it better blue. i thought the next shot would have been with a white flake roof and white scallops!! just my .02

 

Tommy, i like your color choice...looks great, but would look much better shiny, just my .02.....

 

This was my buddies car (56 150). It was built around 1995, before the whole "retro crazy" when a rat rod meant it had a big block and patina was called surface rust. It was the first car i ever saw with flat black paint (not primer), scallops other then traditional ones, and a laundry list of other customizations. Unfortunately he sold it and the last time i saw it, it was painted baby blue, was lifted back to stock height and was covered in Kregan and JC Whitney accessories.

 

I liked the blue better myself as well. It looks super straight, where's the clear?

 

wow, that changed things up a bit.

 

maybe someday it will shine ,,it was going to be blue but a the last minute i changed it ,i like this much better ,gonig out to do the roof now

 

I like it more now, I like blue, but that orange flat kicks ass! what color is that?

 

Yeah i dig the the flat orange better. with the roof done up it will be bad ass. i would still like to see some fatter white walls though but the combo still looks good. oh did ya grind the paint off those bumpers? hurry get them cromed.
fine ass kustom...

 

Love what you have done so far....... the car looks awesome.

 

thanks,it started out as 07 vette orange
