Ohh Man, I just went back and looked at the photos, I didn't even see the flames in that one photo. That's great, I love when you look at a project like that, everytime you look closer you see something else. That's just a sick looking ride.

Thats a bad ass car, awesome work done to it. The Tri-Five (and all 50's cars/trucks for that matter) where some of the best automobiles ever made. My friend has a blue & white 55 with a LS1 that he shows in the local car shows. Also a guy my grandpa knows has a red & white 55.

Man, that is absolutely beautiful! Where did the bowtie accents on the front marker lights and the taillights come from?

Looks beautiful...the only thing I don't like is the steering wheel, that black just looks out of place. But then again...it could be that it's still missing the rest of the interior.

Great work!

Bet you are right, Jim. Arizona........ and looks like a compressor opposite the alternator. I just have never seen vents like those before. Never too old to learn, I guess!
