    I hit on a really neat website last evening:

    http://www.secondchancegarage.com/index.cfm

    And they've got an article discussing the differences in the TRI-5 Chevies that I thought folks might enjoy.
    http://www.secondchancegarage.com/public4/canadian-tri5.cfm

    Check out the many articles, how-to, restomod articles, mostly early Mopar, and GM and hotrod topics.

    Oh and this guy's website on his custom efforts on his 1933 Ford coupe showcar. He even built his own custom hooped headliner:

    I found this through his 'Search Database' menu.

    His sketches of the 4 major headliner techniques:

    His headliner starts here:
    http://www.project33.com/Categoryarticle.cfm?ID=690&Category=Interior

    You can hit the 'next 10 items' or skip all his custom dash and DIY fibreglass trim work or go to where its finish work is.

    and ends here:
    http://www.project33.com/Categoryarticle.cfm?ID=958&Category=Interior

    Some really ingenious work.

    The site is loaded with project details on a 1957 Chrysler 300, 1937 Buick, and more great projects. Worth a few hours.:thumbs2:
