      Need Pro Touring 57 Chevy pics / links

      I have a 57 Chevy project we just took and I need to load my customer up with pictures of killer 57s to get a better idea what he wants.

      One car I am trying to get more info on is the silver / red interior roadster that was in the Eaton booth at SEMA. But also looking for pretty much all badd ass 57 cars and links. Exterior / interior pics.



      My customer is a guitar player and has some wild ideas for the project that our out of the normal Pro Touring theme, but I am digging some of the ideas. One thing we are doing a generous amount of some really off the hook interior wood treatment using wood supplied by Paul Reed Guitars including custom matched wood faced gauges I am really excited about.

      There are a few articles from Super Chevy with tri-5's in them

      http://www.superchevy.com/features/t...gon/index.html

      Several renditions here:

      Also, just a few months ago Super Chevy had an all tri-5 edition, covering all frames, suspension brands available for tri-5s, and all featured cars were 55-57 chevy's, not all pro-tour of course, but all real nice rides.
      HTH.

      OK, here's the mother-lode of articles for you:
      http://www.superchevy.com/features/c...ive/index.html

      over 5 pages each with 12-15 articles, each with plenty of pics, here's a sampler:
      Not all of these are '57s but they are pretty bitchin...

      I don't get this one at all:


      Looks like a waste of plumbing to me. Were they just trying to prove that they knew how to route pipe? Why not just use 2 of them & make it much simpler?

      Saw this one in Myrtle Beach, nice car but the interior work was terrible compared to the rest of the car.
