'55 Chevy Custom Pro-Touring, Super Chevy Featured "On The Glide" You've seen Brent Jarvis' work on the cover of Hot Rod, Popular Hotrodding, Super Chevy, and Chevy High Performance (to name a few). This smooth '55 is no different that anything else Performance Restorations built over the years, visually stunning, custom craftsmanship and engineered to perform on the street. "Performance Restoration went full-tilt on the envelope, from the airbrushed 56 side moldings to the candy, pearl, and pixie dust in the paint. Briefly, Performance rubbed the body smooth, shaved the door handles, flush-mounted the front turn signals using 57 backup lights, removed all side molding, reworked the hood so that it opens back to front, installed a billet grille and custom taillights, reshaped the bumpers for tighter fit, smoothed the firewall and transmission tunnel, incorporated a gas-fill similar to the 56 Chevy (hidden behind taillight), and handbuilt inner fenders and custom radiator shroud. Performance Restoration owner Brent Jarvis applied the custom mixed candy orange and pearls with pewter. All and all, a pyrotechnic display not easily dismissed from memory." ~Chevy High Performance Here is a link to the complete article the chronicles the build. Full SYA narrative with all the goodies to follow, stay tuned.
