'55 Revive: OUR STOCK TRI-FIVE GETS A HUGE MAKEOVER

Street Rodder Magazine covered the build of our own 1955 Chevy Bel-Air - dubbed CPP's '55 Revive. Our stock Tri-Five got a huge makeover starting with a new GM LS3 Connect & Cruise drivetrain package and then, wanting to take it to the next level, we added all of CPP's finest steering, brakes, and suspension components. Once completed, we took it on the ultimate road trip - 2000+ miles straight to Louisville, KY to the Street Rod Nationals and then Bowling Green for the Danchuk Tri-Five nationals! Follow through the build to see how we breathed new life into our classic Tri-Five.
