Default And I joked, I THINK THEIR STILL MAKIN THEM!

You’d think they are still making tri 5 chevys yiu see so many, one year at Dreamcruise, we made a board fir Chevelle and tri 5’s. Started making has marks to see how many we saw, there was a butt load.
A recent trip to Cars inc to buy some paint, look what they make. No wonder yiu see so many.
They still have some disc’s Eastwood paints still on the shelf. No ship too.

Agree.

A local GM supplier called Experi-Metal is still making sheetmetal for 55-57 Chevy and also 32 Ford bodies.

They even make a quarter panel that will turn a '57 4 door into a 2 door convertible (the wheelbases are the same).

Quite a few reproduction metal bodies are available these days - Mustangs, Camaros, and of course 1929-1934 Fords. By the time you figure in restoration costs of an original, they can make sense.

Lots of different models of Chevy trucks are available too, from 1947 through 1967.

I think it's awesome they're making entire cars. The more classics back on the road the better!
