As car guys, we all love the car event talk. Its you and your buddys at a cars and coffee talking about cars and how you've modified them. We want to capture those times in video form. This will hopefully be the first of many "Car Tours With Dave" videos that we feature on the channel. Who knows, maybe your vehicle could be featured one day!
In todays Car Tour, we are talking a look at Dave 1956 Chevrolet TriFive Gasser build. Not only does this car hurt necks out on the street, but it also breaks hearts on the strip.
The original build started with Steven Caouette in 1994

From the vibrant Mopar color scheme (Lemon Twist Yellow and Basic White) to the raised front end inspired by gasser tradition, Dave's 1956 Chevrolet is a sight to behold. He walks us through the details, explaining the front end modifications, ball joint spacers, and station wagon springs. The Thunderbolt hood scoop, borrowed from Ford cars, adds both style and functionality to expel heat during drag strip runs.
🚗 *Wheels and Brakes:*
Dave dives into his wheel choice - classic Craggers, which he's always loved. He shares the journey of upgrading to disc brakes, ensuring better performance and addressing brake fade issues. The rear wheels, 10-inch reverse offset Craggers, required adjustments to accommodate larger tires and a rear disc brake conversion kit from First Place Auto Parts.

Dave also highlights the station wagon bumper, providing a unique license plate placement, and an inconspicuous electrical shut-off switch for drag strip safety.

Get ready for the big reveal as Dave opens the hood to showcase the heart of his Gasser. A robust 454 Chevrolet, bored 30 over to 468, sits beneath a tilt front end.
