Default Different looks for the '55 Chevy

Here's some quick PS work based on my favorite shoebox, Roy Brizio's gold '55.

I really like his understated treatment of that car. With an AME chassis underneath it, a healthy SBC and a 6 speed, it should be a lot of fun to drive too.

We have 2 55's and one 56 coming together currently. Here is one we are working on with a 572 engine. with 19 & 20" Boyd wheels.


You will be seeing alot of this convertible very soon.

Very nice. I'm digging the color in the top rendering. Very similiar to the color of my truck.
How is this Skip guy and why does love these tri-fives so much!?!?!

modern wheels look dated on tri-5s. Just look at any tri5 built in the 90s...

Stick with something classic like the top rendering. Be different!

I love an old black muscle car with red interior.

Great interior also of course.

I agree.

Speaking of different...here's some unfinished designs we played with.





I really like this one. Ex-gasser meets g-machine.

Dale Boesch is building a killer 55, that will be at some shows this summer! I have not seen a top on a 55 like this one before ever. Plus with all the cool parts, stance, etc she is definitely a head turner. Can't wait for Columbus!
