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.

I like the 1 with the white roof. I'm a sucker for two tone 55s.

I like all of the cars but I don't care for the first set of wheels.

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.

Skipp - I'd lean towards the 1st version with out the stacks and gold walls on the tires -- they all look good - hard to go wrong with a black 55

With the amount of room/clearance under a tri-five hood those stacks with a small block would have to be +2 feet long/high.

thats why one would need a 426 Hemi. I could imagine that conversation.
"Dude, Why a 426?" "oh man, to avoid the 2 foot intake pipes a small block chev would require".


love the white top shot. Very nice.

Still playing around with that lowered gasser look.

I like the back, maybe decrease the wide white stripe a little. Probably go a different style on the front wheel.
