To all Trifive Members.
Fall is here and I am
really getting excited about all the winter
projects that will be getting started by our Trifive
members.
Spring and summer is also an exciting time -- for
attending Rod Runs, Classic Car Shows, and Cruises. I know
spring and summer is a lot of fun for those Trifive
owners who have their cars on the road, but for us guys who
are still working on our projects, we still have to say to
ourselves, "Just wait until next summer and my car will be
ready, and it will be great."
Trifive.com is still growing
rapidly, and I really appreciate the warm welcome our
members give to all new members. We are all restoring the
best cars ever made -- 1955, 56 ,57 Chevys.
It amazes
me that so many Trifives are still left. They certainly are the most
popular cars ever made, and to think that people have kept
them for all these years. Think of all the stories they
could tell. When you have a bad day, just look at your
Trifive and think of all the great memories that it has
given to everyone for years. It has to put a smile on your
face.
I think the Trifive 1955, 1956, 1957 Chevy's
story has yet to be told. imagine 25, 50, 100 years or
more from now when we have moved on to a better place. Trifives that we are saving and restoring now will
still be here creating dreams for generations to come and we
will have played our part in this great legacy of creating
and preserving great memories forever.
Please see our
Trifive store for winter clothing.

We
all watched in anticipation as one of our members pulled
off what many of us thought was an impossible task. His
goal was to build a 55 hardtop from frame off to
Drag Race in 30 days. Here is the story of TriFive
member Halfrod and his incredible build.

Letter From

Dear
Members,
Winter
is approaching fast and as
the New Year is only weeks away, many of us are getting our
project cars off the road and into the garage -- for some, one
on one time. Please post your projects on the forum as
it always encourages the rest of us to get out butts off the
couch and into the garage. Take lots of pictures and
let us see how your projects are coming along
I
want to thank all the members who sent in the pictures of
their 57 Chevys for the Red Hot 57 article.
I
want to also thank the many members who sent their stories
in for the Story Contest. I enjoyed reading them all
and hope to put a few of these great memories in future
newsletters.
I
want to apologize for the late publication of the fall Tire
Tracks. Many of you understand how work can cut into a
guy's personal life. This has been a very busy season
for me.
Please
let me know if you have suggestions on what you would like
to see in future publications of Tire Tracks.
From
all the Staff at TriFive.com we want to wish you a great
holiday season and hope that you get some quality time with
your family and friends. Who know's? Maybe Santa will
bring you that new Carburetor. -Editor
A
special Holiday thank you goes out to our
servicemen throughout the world. We respect
and appreciate what you are doing to allow us to live in one
of the greatest countries in the world and pursue our love
for this hobby. God Bless you and keep you safe.
Happy
Holidays!

This summer I had the opportunity to meet a
couple of our members at the Cruis'n Grand event in beautiful
Escondido, California. It was a perfect evening with some new
friends and some beautiful cars
Story and Pictures
 I met a guitar player
in Houston, Texas many years ago playing in a local
hang out. I was very impressed by his music and his
humbleness.
He gave me a CD that he made entirely by
himself. He wrote the music, played all the parts, sang. I lost track of him
years ago. If any of you know him, please contact him. His
name is Jimmy Jines and this song was written written for all of
us -- " Red Hot 57". Thanks to all those members
who sent pictures to me for
this tribute to the 57 Chevy.
Turn up your sound, click on the link, unzip the contents, click on the play
icon. Have some patience -- it is a large file.

Welcome to our second
international section for Tire Tracks. It is always
interesting and exciting to find out how many of our beloved
TriFives have ended up on foreign shores. Where man has traveled,
he has taken his favorite classic Chevy with him.
The majority I have heard about were purchased and shipped
by owners wanting to share in the history and love that we all
have for this American classic. TriFive.com has new members
joining weekly from outside of the US with beautiful stock and
hotrod TriFives. Enjoy the world tour. I am looking forward
learning more about our members from around the world.
Please submit anything you have to me. Editor editor@trifive.com

Member "Wrenchbend" submitted a great story in the
last contest named "My First TriFive and Why I Chose
it".
Please
take time to read it, it will warm your heart and probably
bring back memories of when you were little and saw these
beautiful cars for the first time.

The
interviews I have done in the past have been of members that
are very active in supporting TriFive.com. Many
of you are aware of how hard Otis works for us all keeping
this site updated and running so well. He continues to
add new features and keep everyone focused on making this
forum a family friendly place we can all be proud of. He has been
dedicated to improving the quality and the operation of
TriFive.com since he started it. He didn't want to do
this interview because in his humble opinion there are far
better and more interesting people here to highlight than him. I disagree, and felt it was time you all got to
know him a little better, so -- my friend this one is for
you --
one of the nicest people I have had the opportunity to get to
know. Thanks for all you do, Otis. -Editor
