Dan's Tri-Five Project Collection 1955 1956 1957 Chevy

[@Steverinomeister]

You’re doing fine work. I bought my first 57 a BelAir four door sedan at age twelve and finished my first BelAir Sport Coupe at age 19. I’m 64 now and still love them. Thanks for identifying these cars by their correct names. So many call them two door posts etc and you’re doing the right thing to help educate the next generation as to what the manufacturers really called them. And do anything you can to avoid cutting up those sedan deliveries they are so rare. Precious Metal.

[@EngTecher]

Don sent me over to see your video. I just ran out of room. 3 car garage filled plus my 3 cars in the driveway. One at my dad's ranch. Wow you have such a fun place. Good luck.

[@torekristoffersen176]

Incredible Tri-Five collection! The story on that ‘57 convertible is insane!! Congrats!

[@cindysmith3496]

Great job Dan!

[@ricardorivera1274]

You sound like me my uncle had one. I was about 10 or 11 years old and I helped him with it I am 60 years old and have found my dream car and that's why I am really looking forward to seeing more videos of your how to so I can learn more

[@DansTriFiveGarage]

I'll have more cing soon Ricardo, thanks for watching!

[@davidlj53]

You’ve got some good stuff, hang on to it! I like stock interiors, looks great!

[@timrussellguitar1516]

I agree with you brother, we need the younger kids to carry on our love for the tri fives.

[@daleslusser7868]

Dan .. Great collection of tri 5s .Love to have them all. Definitely enough of projects to keep you busy. I subscribed also, I'm a car enthusiast also . Oh yea .. Don at Don's garage is putting the word out about you. Thanks for the tour.

[@johnnywooten7199]

Nice collection , love the videos!

[@richardjackson1397]

Very good back stories on your tri 5s I love tri 5s

[@sjd7188]

Impressive to get that 55 running at 18 to 28 years old. Did a similar job on a 65 gto but took me 30 years to get it road worthy…nice vid

[@scotthay1486]

Dan, really enjoyed your video, so I subscribed. It is an impressive collection of tri fives, and I'm interested in following your work on them. They are classic and iconic, a true American workhorse from a special time in history. Solid vehicles built to last. Always had a special fondness for the deliveries. Best regards.

[@morgansword]

I can hardly believe a collection like this that is not owned by someone eighty years old or something of that nature. Its a no brainer, subbed immediately and will be watching close as the pieces fall together. I don't see a reasonable reason to fix a few of them as its really more work than fun, almost torture to do all of it. I am a seventy two year old man who pulled wrenches all my life on something... mostly heavy equipment but still the same done a few builds of this kind... no harshing me but every one in the town I was raised in was a chevy person so I went fords an won a lot of trophies, turned some impressive speed sets but divorces got in my way of keeping a nice one plus I went to Nam to come home to see all my cars and stuff I had built since I was around a eleven or so, dad had a shop and I started as a grease monkey for him on his logging equipment and there for found I could put stuff together... my first was a shoebox an then my collection of 55 through 57 fords and a lot of them as no one liked fords. I bought a grandma car that had almost made the wrecking yard an these kids were really hatting to do that but they needed it off the street. I told one of them I would at least look at it and could not believe how nice of shape its in.... I told them money for me was near nothing so they countered me by saying " ten dollars" and I never second guessed, said sold an had to find a way to get it back home about seventy miles and get back and drive mine home so they let me park mine there, I put the key in the ignition an it ran so sweet.. sure it was a four door but with only twelve thousand miles what do you think... it wasn't all roses as it had sat and the tank was nasty so its a fight to get it all the way home. I am sixteen barely so you know that car was eight years old an perfect shape... not trying to one up you here but we all have a story... That rockcrusher trany you got is more than the cost of the rig you bought.. thats a deal once in a lifetime.

[@michaellamontagne2470]

I really want a Sedan Delivery…… Fell in love with one a neighbor had back in the late 1980s. Wish I had time to track one down that was build able.

[@IronheadGarage]

Don't get any better then a shop full tri5s. You got some good ones. You got my sub looking forward to seeing more. Thanks for sharing take care👍

[@grandpar468]

Enjoyed the video & have subscribed. Have always been a car guy , but have never had a collection . My way of doing things was to buy the best condition car I could afford , spend the time & money to build it as I envisioned , drive it awhile , sell it & move on to the next .

[@rustyrodgarage2686]

love the collection,can't wait to see more

[@cjdesign5700]

Nice...A Seeburg Jukebox also...CJ in Wisco also. Just subbed...good luck w/ the channel.

Just found your video & subscribed. We have 6 55's and 3 56 chevys. most like yours are parts cars. We have a pair of 55 2 dr wagons. One is a 150 chevy the other is a Ford Ranch Wagon. We also get the Nomad remarks about our chevy wagon.

Think the delivery rearer than a nomad. Don't think they sold that many. DD speed shop cut one up. Check out Dons hot rod garage. Maybe he needs parts. Good luck.

[@pdrphil8159]

How many do you have complete & driveable aside from the one ? Thats a large collection of tri 5's , and enough parts cars to build a fleet..

[@DDSpeedShop]

U got yourself a pile o tri fives haha

I do, I keep thinking too many, but then i keep dragging home more! Lol 🤷‍♂️ thanks for checking out the channel Dan, let me know if you’re ever looking for anything for yours, as you can see I have an abundance of stuff lol

Dan, would you consider selling the four door 1955 210? She looks like she could be saved.

[@jeffreyspurgin9015]

Hello Dan we have 2 1956 Chevy hard tops do you buy chance have the front and rear seats four sale there impossible to get

[@allanjeleniewski7986]

Will a 1957 Chevy station wagon frame fit under a 57 Chevy bel air 2 door hard top with out any modifications?

[@DansTriFiveGarage]

It will physically bolt into place but a hardtop has 2 extra mounts that a wagon doesn’t have, it’s a very easy fix though, you can actually buy those frame mounts that weld onto the frame to convert a sedan/wagon frame to a hardtop frame

[@danielcorey8928]

What's my 4 Dr. Bellear hardtop worth. It's in great shape please respond.

You need to pick a wall and put some nice shelves and start organizing your parts

I started doing that a little bit, but the real problem is I think I’m gonna need more walls! Haha

[@brendagreen7848]

Color is Nassau blue. Ray

[@DansTriFiveGarage]

Hi ray, the factory paint code for Nassau blue is 691, I usually go through the coating store because they offer specific paint for the trifives, here’s the link for the Nassau blue, my 56 hardtop is twilight turquoise which is paint code 698, here’s a link to the coating store color for you www.thecoatingstore.com/product/1956-chevrolet-bel-air-car-paint-kit-nassau-blue-691/

Don’t let that sedan delivery liftgate assembly sit on the ground.

It’s already completely rotted out on the bottom, that’s why I haven’t put it inside lol 😂

Dan I still can't wait to see the videos on the cars this summer but I would like to ask if you have not sold the front cap on your four door 55 I would like to buy it like I said before I can't to see those videos

[@anteburazin69]

Pretty good video , lots of nice parts and cars, so fixing a few won't get a problem . Keep buying them up, won't be too long and things will really really dry up. Cheers mate :)

That’s awesome, so that’s where all the Tri-Parts are hiding, I have been a Tri-Five enthusiast for 55 years, I sure enjoy my 57 210 Sedan.💯🆒

[@elkgroveflorin5223]

Amazing Dan! I just subscribed. I can't wait to see the work. I will watch the other vids also but please show the work and process you do. My 12 year old son and I want to find a 1955 2 door to restore together. We have yet to find the car but will look until we find her. The condition of the car we are searching for would be about what your project car 1955 hard top is. I want to learn as we go and build her with my boy to give to him, and hopefully he will pass it on to his children, and so on. I lost my 17 year old daughter to cancer in 2010, and want to build a car with my son, in her memory. It will be a slow process for us but that is fine as he is only 12, but I am hopeful that we can finish by his graduation in about six years. You are the type of owner of these that I enjoy. You truly care and understand the value in them, and the family involvement is part of the value. Thank you for sharing these with us, and I will continue to follow the videos. It is great to see there are many more following this one so my son and I can binge watch them! lol! Quality G rated viewing!! LOL! Take care and be safe. Blood, sweat, tears and Gears, Rich.

MY opinion of Course …I think the nicest is the 4 dr Belair blue one ,,, beautiful car … then again you have 3 times more tri-fives than anyone else … Thanks for the video Danny ….

Great collection! I look forward to more videos. I live in Las Vegas. My first car when I was 17 was a 57 bell air 2d post. I sold it for $700 in 1972 3 years later. I'm now 70 and looking for a 57 to build again and relive my youth ..lol. I subscribed.

[@rjl57]

Check the floor in that window Delivery. Look for mounting holes in the floor near the drive shaft tunnel. That will tell if it came with a bucket seat. Most came with a bench seat. And Chevy made the window Delivery from 1955-1960.

[@DansTriFiveGarage]

this one came with buckets, it still has the mounting brackets for the pivots on the floor and the flat plate on the floor where the seat sits on the floor at the back of the seat

[@TheJagjr4450]

Holy cow on the 57. Last 57 conv I knew of at $1000 was in the late 70's and it was a stripped shell with no floors. The trans I believe is out of a 72-73 Camaro. The shifter is an ITM which is the stock shifter for a 72-73 Camaro. There should be a number stamped into the passenger side of the main case at the rear. P3R25A = P=Muncie Heavy Duty 3- (model year) R - (month) 25- (day of the month 01-31) A - M20 (B-M21 C-M22) There could also be a vin number 3Nxxxxxx. or 3Lxxxxxx
