Pro-Street to Pro-Touring...MetalWorks 55 build - Lateral-g Forums

Pro-Street was a fun time in hot rodding, but it also got a lot of cars cut up pretty bad.
This 55 was started in the early 90's as a Pro-streeter, but was never finished...we are now looking to breathe new life into this forgotten project and turn it into a modern pro-touring car complete with an independent rear suspension Art Morrision chassis and LS drive line...should be a fun one.

Love the Tri-5's. Will be watching this one.

Nice to see another one saved.

Here is what the 55 looked like when it arrived at the shop after being an idle project since the 1990s.

Man, it's gonna be a challenge just to get the wheels off that!

Gonna be a great project though.

First step was to do a tear down and see what we are working with.
