More exciting news from our sponsor at Danchuk. They have agreed
to a Link to TriFive.com and use
Trifive.com, as their main discussion forum. 55-56-57 Chevy
owners who need to get tech help can talk with other Trifive owners. Currently Danchuk is working on a new website design.
When that is completed we will have a special category on our forum for Danchuk.
They will send 55-56-57 owners to TriFive and will be online to
assist us with their tech help in the special Danchuk are of
the forum.
Get ready for a lot of new members. We are going to keep growing
and growing for a long time.
TriFive will never change, it will always be "the" place where
good friends can get together and talk about our favorite cars, the
1955-56-57 Chevys.

In the past we have featured cars that are completed and ready for either show or
daily driver status. This time it is truly a pleasure to
bring you a story about a 1956 210 that is still a work of art in
progress. The featured car is "Keith's" car in a story
called
"Pop's long lost love"

How
many stories have you heard from a friend of a friend of a friend
that there is an old Chevy sitting in the shed, the shop or the
barn just waiting to be discovered only to find out it is a
Ford, or something even more despicable.
One of our members brought this Motor
Trend article to my attention. The funny thing is I knew the guy
when I lived in Atlanta, and had no idea what he had buried in his
garage.

It is hard to believe how
fast the last three months have raced by. Since our initial
release of Tire Tracks there has been so much going on on
TriFive.com that it is hard to decide what to put into the
newsletter. The Story Contest brought out the best of what
most of us remember as a good time when we were young with a hot
Chevy. The Featured Threads are a small example of what's
going on here every day. Our Featured Car is a wonderful
story of how this hobby brings families together. Don't miss
the new International section. Make sure to see the Technically
Speaking area to give you an idea pf what information is available
here.
Check out the new area in
our Classifieds "Parts to Trade"
Many of us are taking
advantage of the warmer weather to check out local car events or
work on our favorite projects. As I write this I have just
finished putting a new epoxy floor down in the garage awaiting the
return of my '55 from the paint shop. This is the time not to
neglect the forum especially since you who are visiting shows could
be loading us up with new pictures. And those working on projects
could be helping all of us by letting us know how you are accomplishing
whatever task it is you are up to. Face it, most of us are
guys
and that means we like the pictures. I am continually
looking for new information and ideas for the Newsletter.
Please e-mail me if you have any questions or suggestions.
Our thoughts and prayers
go out to MP&C. He recently taught us all a painful lesson on
safety. Please see the thread How
to make a 58 1/2 gallon oil drum. Get well soon, Robert.
The genuine concern from our members shows this is more than a billboard,
it is a family.
I want to thank
all the members of TriFive for their support and their wealth of
information.
