The other cars you all asked about...
« on: August 21, 2021, 10:31:59 PM »
So on my post on the video on my twin 68's, others have asked to see a little more on the tri fives and the 33. So here is those photos.

Starting with the 33. Its an all original steel pickup. Pretty much a early 90s street rod. My grandfather built it right before I was born and I have grown up in the cab of the truck and its what got me hooked on old cars.







Then the 55 Chevy is a Bel Air 2 door Hardtop. Been with my grandparents nearly 50 years. We did a complete rotisserie restoration a few years ago at the house.









Then the last tri five is our 56 Chevy 150 named "Miss Taboo". Its a real deal early 60s custom. Was originally built between 1958-1960 and was on the cover of Rod & Custom back in 1960. The car has many many modifications. My grandparents owned it once in the 80s, sold it, and then we were able to buy it back in 2008 and then did a 5 year restoration on it, putting the car back to its early show glory.

Nice, and thanks for sharing! Btw, on 'Miss Taboo' (forgive my ignorance) is that a Buick or Mercury front grille?

Its a 54 Chevy grille. It has 14 extra teeth added over the stock 5 for 19 total.
