Vehicle Description
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.
