Features tri five chevys lets see em"

That looks pretty damn good.

 

A few from the mid-60s:

 

I love this shot. The early days of tri-5 gasser/street machine popularity, circa 1960.

 

Here a pic on Friday, and after some alone time with the sawz-all.

 

troylee, I am guessing it is getting a straight axle? or you going with a subframe swap to newer susp

 

A few pictures of my 55. I've had it since 1977...currently running a 454/ Muncie 4 speed, narrowed 9"Ford with 4.86 gears.

 

My first.
1975,age 15.












And my last one.
2006---Present
Too much history with this one to get rid of it now.

 

...here's my favorite 55 that I've owned, a 210 tudor with a six, stick overdrive trans. It was a former Hires Root Beer salesman's car, you could barely make out the lettering on the trunklid. photo from mid-to late 60's.

 

That 57 says it all for me.

 

Looks great just like that. Black wheels, thin whitewalls, no bumper.

 

Hey Ramblur, That is a really nice photo history you posted. I am sure those oldie-times pics strike a familiar chord with a bunch of others besides me..
What's with the floorboards and rockers tinwork? I thought only those of us stuck up north had that kind of lower rust problem!
I was just looking at similar pieces and wondering how well they go in place. Any observations?
Am I reading right that you got your same car back in 2006?

 

Haha. The wagon came from Minot,ND before I bought it in 75.I grew up
in Ohio(Rust Belt Central) so even though there was very little rot when
I got it, and I put it away for the Ohio winters I did drive it about 3 yrs. in
OK before moving to FL.It was my daily up until 87 and pretty much
everthing I owned would still fit inside. It sat outside in Florida for a couple years after I took it off the road and that probably did the most damage.
As far as fit and finish I'm pretty happy with the CARS Inc. stuff. If I were to start the job now I'd probably use the one piece floor with the braces
already on it.(wasn't available at the time)
No,I've owned it the whole time,it just had to set for a long time while
I built a business and raised some kids.Hope to have it back out in a
couple years but I'm knee deep with a 65 Impala wagon right now rehoning
my skills.
Funny story: Drivers door is getting reskinned/replaced cause a girl I "knew" in high school puked down the window opening and 30 yrs. later
the bottom of the skin where she puked is pinhole city.
Glad you enjoyed the pics.

 

Mine from 3-4 years ago. 355ci 6spd 4wpdb

 

Here's 2 I have for sale

 

sold mine about 8 yrs ago

 

This is what I picked up last year. It has come a long way. I will post pics when the snow melts. But here are the before picks feel free to avert your eyes its pretty horrific

 

Here's some pics of my 57.

 

ten years or more, damn, didn't realize it had been that long ago. it could look like anything now i guess

 

my 55

 

man sscott55 thats a bad boy love that rolled pleats.......

 

sscott55

Nice 55

 

Ya but I sold it first

 

The reason I asked is I remeber a 55 around 98-99 up there that was completly taken apart.

A year or so after it disappeared a 150 showed up around chandler in primer, tubbed, blown, and a full cage. I assumed it was the same car because of it being a 150 and in the same area. Its painted yellow now and I occasionally see it at the main street cruise ins.
I might have some pics some where, I'll see if I can find them.

 

sscott55, thats a good looking 55, love the scoop

 

BIG thanks to KID DUECE for all the great pic.s.

 

My latest, 454 700r4 3.42 12 bolt

 

it was 96 or 97 when it left me, so this could be it. i heard the guy at mills' blew it apart and was going to put a nova clip on it. don't know if that happened or not. i have not seen the yellow one. i have been out of the loop for awhile. i had a red 66 impala with a cowl scoop that i traded to bill wilder for my merc. you may have seen it sitting in front of his shop for awhile before he sold it.

 

happy, thank you for posting those incredible shots. when are they from, late 60's or in the early 70's. I would take more of them

if you have anymore, please share

 

happy hoppy, them pics are awesome! I wonder if any of them could have been painted by watson, like the orange 55? also wonder about when/where these shots were taken?
thanx for posting.
xtra
