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"

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
