Picked this up recently. A member from another forum found one at a reasonable price. None of them are cheap, but this one wasn't so bad.

I started working on the '57 version of that kit last year. I need to finish it.

I'm not really a big Chevy fan, but how can a guy not have a few of the Tri 5s in his collection of gassers?

I'm not really a big Chevy fan, but how can a guy not have a few of the Tri 5s in his collection of gassers? Funny, I have only a few Tri Fives in my collection, BUT I do have a real '55 "Gasser" that's been raced by my father and now myself since 1962. Originally powered by a 301 SBC by pop, my by a 427 BBC and now it's has a 320 GMC six for the past 10 years. Paul |

I will say I really miss racing. Gave it up years and years ago while in the Army. As a young enlisted man, I started having to make choices between a new pair of slicks or baby food. I figured it was time to hang it up. I thought maybe I'd get back into it later, but there was always something else that took priority.
How about some photos of that '55?

Man, I wish I had at least one of the two '65 Chevelles I owned, lots of memories.

That's a great old car. Yeah, makes me wish I had kept any of several cars I had. The '67 Barracuda would be at the top of the list, but the '69 Chevelle wouldn't be far behind it. Thanks for posting up the photos. A day at the strip would beat pretty much any way I spend my days now.
