Tri-Five Chevys

now, this might be an overly simplified thread but hell, It seems that a simple and common thing as a 55, 56, or 57 chevy isn't really a big thing here unless its a gasser...which is fine by me but hell there are tons more I think...

it might be a streetrodders dream, but I'm sure theres tons of classy examples out there not screaming in billet accessories...
its a classic, its a cruiser and its a big part of american car culture...so i think a specific thread will do some good here...

so lets go at it...
post up pics of your fine examples of tri5's

ill start off by a new example of a nicely done (over the top awesome) 55 by austin speed shop...aka "el gringo loco"

click on that mess of letters.

 

its not my cup of tea either but the work is top notch i do have to admit the interior seats are a bit much and the fishnet stocking/doily pattern on the roof is a bit too lowrider for my taste...but in all honesty its done quite nicely

 

that looks really cool!
and the rest of the book aint too shabby...thanks for sharing that!

 

and yet it still looks evil! very cool!

 

thats the stuff right there!

 

man that table cloth paint takes me back lol good to see !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

My Nomad is pretty simple, not a gasser, not billetized, not "street-rodded."
