We absolutely love the Tri Five Chevys in pretty much all their forms. From the car show cruiser, to a full on drag car, to a survivor like the SRC Garage 55 Chevy, all the way up to this thing one of our customers brought us! Unfortunately even though the car is completely gorgeous it left a bit to be desired in the drivability departments. Fortunately, we can help with that.
Step 1, this car needed some better brakes. Somewhere along its rebirth into what it is now the car had been setup with a sort of "stock style" brake kit, though it was front and rear disc brakes they just weren't quite what the new owner was looking for. So, dialing this stopping power up to 11 we and the customer decided to go straight to Baer Brakes for their 6 piston front, 4 piston rear setup in a classy black and red to match the car. Purchased through Jegs if you are interested these are part number 136-4301371B for the front and 136-4262263B for the rear to work with the Ford 9" rear end that was previously installed in this ride.
At the same time we are taking out all the old and outdated front suspension bits, going for a MUCH more modern setup with tubular control arms, drop spindles, and all new springs. This kit also came with a front sway bar, which this car had none before, and a brand new faster and tighter steering box. The Classic Performance Products kit was EXACTLY what we were looking for and gave us a huge improvement in handling and ride quality, also giving us a GREAT stance for the this classic american hot rod.
Better the Bear Brake Big Brake kit and the CCP New suspension this 55 Chevy has gone from casual cruiser with great looks to a truly capable driver and twisty roads car. Unfortunately, this wasn't all that needed sorted out on the car, as you'll see!
