Brand-New Tri-Five Chevys!

Last month's Hot Rod magazine had a great article. A guy built a '57 Chevy Gasser clone using all new parts. The rolling chassis was about 7 grand and the all new body was around 15K. With the interior and the engine and tranny-a 396 / Muncie 4-speed combo-the guy had a little over 25k in the whole car!! Now that's not chump change, but you know you can't touch a fully restored '55-57 Chevy for anywhere near 25 grand. People want 15 grand for rustbuckets that need at least another 15-20 grand in restoration. Check out this issue of Hot Rod and last month's Street Rodder-they both name the companies that sell these rolling chassis and new steel bodys. This way if, you wanted to build an ultra-badass "Two-Lane Blacktop" style '55 you wouldn't be afraid to beat on it at the drags, and if you did wreck it, it's not like you couldn't build another one!  I'm going to start saving now. I put the 455 back in the H / O, and pull the ZZ4 for the '55.....Mastermind
