Tips for building your first tri 5 Chevy 

Thanks for watching and good luck on your 57

My brother told me it was boring. Lol. Thanks Don

@@haffrods7055 What would he know. Lol Being organized is one of the biggest parts of rebuilding a old car. Especially if your not familiar with that particular car. Have a good one Buddy 👍

Sounds like you got a great start with the acid dipping.

@@haffrods7055 yes blank canvas

I appreciate that Gerry

Ben, I bet you got some spare parts and cool stories. I need a 4 barrel air cleaner for my wifes 55 if ya got one. Lol

@@haffrods7055 i think i have a 56 two barrel from from my wifes car can you use the top

@@benscoggins3149 Two barrel is different. Thanks for replying Ben

@@haffrods7055 ok sorry about that maybe next time i dont have a lot of 55 parts mostly 56&57 have a good day

Thanks for watching DH

My uncle always said "you never see the other two doors behind you when you're in the drivers seat" I dig four doors for the practicality.

It’s interesting to think about how many four doors were made vs any other style of tri five. Yet how many do you see on the road or at a car show? IMO, a nice running, driving, 4 door is probably MORE rare than a nomad. I was able to pick up my 4 door shell for $2500. If it had been a two door, it would’ve probably had been $6k, as it sat. I set out actually wanting a four door not for the price, but for the functionality. My other two cars have two doors. I wouldn’t want to get rid of them, but a nice family sedan like a 57 has some style.

Thanks Ron for supporting my channel by viewing the vids.

Thanks for watching J

You are very welcome John

Thanks man

Steve, I'd Google it or go to Trifive.com and search it or ask. That has to have been asked before

@@haffrods7055 By pure fools luck I found a video from some guy in the middle east who was doing exactly what I wanted to see. I don't understand Farsi but one picture(video) is worth a 1000 words. Now it's a matter of making a templet and drilling strange little slotted holes. The guy had a beautiful 57 ragtop that's a long way from home.

You should see me when I talk on the phone. I pace all over. Lol

Put a chair in the garage and sit

Thanks David. I have just enough for my hardtop. I actually need two for the 4 door

Good deal Ed. It's a nice catalog. They are the cheapest I've found on a door sill plate set for a 4 door sedan

I do live in Claremore
