Tri-Five Chevys by Patrick Hill Pdf

Early post-WWII Detroit was just getting back on its feet, cranking out automotive designs that were mostly continuations of pre-war technology. It wasn’t until the mid-1950s that some truly interesting, modern-for-the-day designs came out. One of the best, and most enduring, was that of the Chevrolet models built from 1955 to 1957. With just shy of 5 million units built, this design became one of the most popular ever among automotive enthusiasts and modifiers alike. With its flexible platform, no model has seen more variations of performance interpretation than what is now known as the Tri-Five Chevy. With an abundance of aftermarket parts available, the Tri-Five has seen a renaissance in popularity with the modern Pro Touring style of builds. Worn-out mid-1980s restorations and crude ex-pro street cars have become obvious candidates for building this new technology-friendly and capable style. In Tri-Five Chevys: Building and Modifying the 55-56-57, mechanical upgrades for the chassis, engine, transmission, suspension, brakes, tires, and wheels are all covered through step-by-step procedures. Applying this modern technology will help you be competitive when campaigning your Tri-Five through the vigorous courses on the Ultimate Streetcar Challenge or simply enjoying the benefits of modern performance on the street. For the novice builder and the hardcore hobbyist, Tri-Five Chevys: Building and Modifying the 55-56-57is the only book on the market catering to a Tri-Five Pro Touring build. Veteran author Patrick Hill helps you apply these upgrades through careful planning, design, and assembly of a Pro Touring Tri-Five machine.

The American Speed Shop by Bob McClurg Pdf

The history of hot rodding and performance cars has been well chronicled through the years. Books and magazines have covered the cars, builders, pioneers, engineers, early racers, muscle cars, street racers, etc. Most take a nostalgic and fun look at the cars that many have loved their entire lives. Some even cover the lifestyle, the hobby as it involves people, and the effort, time, and commitment people put into it. It is more than just a hobby to most, and to many, a certain wave of nostalgia comes over them when remembering what the car scene was like "back in the day." The local speed shop is an important element of the nostalgic feeling that people have when fondly remembering their hot rodding youth. Speed shops were not just parts stores, they were a communal gathering place for car guys wanting to talk smart, bench race, and catch up on the local scene, as well as to solicit the expert advice from the owner or staff behind the counter. Here, longtime hot rodder and industry veteran Bob McClurg brings you the story of the era and the culture of speed shops as told through individual shop's histories and compelling vintage photography. He covers the birth of the industry, racing versus hot rodding, mail-order, and advertising wars. You learn about the performance boom of the 1960s and 1970s, lost speed shops as well as survivors, and a overview of the giant mail-order speed shops of today.
