Hi my name is Ryan R. i am new to trifivechevys.com and new to trifive chevys at all. I am 20 years old and i got my first project. It is a 1955 Chevy 2 door handyman wagon 210. she has no engine or trans. the ol'girl has some rust issues (the usual fenders above headlights, floor, and quarters) im still trying to figure out my plan of attack on it and where to buy my parts from as well as trying to figure out exactly where i am gonna go with her. i wanna actually drive her and dont want a show car but i want something nice that looks and works good. any suggestions or thoughts would be awesome. as well as the wagon i got a parts car with it, its a 56 4 door bel-air and a set of 57 fenders and bumpers. i want to try to do as much as possible myself, even paint (ive painted small parts before but not a car)

my thought is a small block 350 (common and they make all kinds of parts) with EFI intake/throttle body (for mileage and reliability sake) matched with a 5 or 6 speed manual (no idea which one...not good with transmissions or diffs)
i wanna be able to driver it on the highway and take it on trips to shows and cruises and stuff. and i dont want a show car as to not worry about if every little thing isnt perfect.

Picture time!
