Built a TLB clone with a bunch of the items Ruth added but kept the factory a-arm front. Same seats, early chevelle buckets, similar hood scoop, and the lexan sliders. Fun stuff. Car's gone to Iowa somewhere, but I kept the drivetrain....427 of course.
I may have to come for a visit, more to talk to R. Ruth...and wear my Glendale Speed Shop shirt!
Newsome is the guy that Finch sold the AG car to I believe, and he added a bunch of stuff that nobody liked but him. Glad he sold it.
Walt Bailey did a much better job, as good as it gets really, to the TLB camera car. He even got James Taylor to sit in it at a show, very cool indeed!
I thought it would be cool to build a Pro Street version of the '55 and the GTO and do some match racing.

My '55. Not sure how it's going to turn out, but one thing for sure, it's going to have a clutch pedal and a 4 speed in it. I've got a 327 built for it for now, and I'm building a 12 bolt that I narrowed to fit. It's probably going to have a big block some day.

Links were very helpful Steve, cleared up some questions I had.

I remember when the fiberglass doors were discussed 20-25 years ago, pics of them made the rounds in the car magazines.

Straight-axle '55 in the BG was first blue/metallic silver "327" (everything was in quotes then) on Americans, then red/white on rallye's, as pictured - 454 LS-6 - surprised a few!

'55 show and tell...
Some here may remember my recent thread on cousin Paul's "Original Paint Original Owner '65 Corvette." Paul purchased this 150 post in HS, 1958. '60's style custom, including a Tijuana tuck and roll, done about 1962 while stationed in San Diego.

Since he has passed away recently I may be posting a FS thread at some point.
