I was checking around for some parts the other day and ran across a guy who had what i needed (air ducting for a '57). He said come on over, i should have what you need....

I showed up at this guys place and low a behold he's a tri5 nut. This guy had parts in his basement...more original takeoff parts then you could imagine. Feners and fenders stacked in along one wall, trim, windows, under dash heating components, gauges clusters, carbs, intakes, brake parts, etc....

He's been buying and restoring tri5's for over 25 years and owns 6 of them himself - including two Nomads restored to original, a 55 vert, 55 prostreet, etc... His garage behind his house was almost 2000 square feet. He was a really nice guy and showed me all his cars. So, if you need something and can't find it, let me know - this guy probably has what you need.

Us guys on the west coast are lucky until we have to pay for something, then we get the creamed banana.

Ari sounds like a nice guy to know. One who`ll even show you his cars and visit with you too is not always the case. I`ve met several at shows around here that acted like they were put out to even visit with you about their rides.

I talked to him today, he doesn't have any of these. He is actually looking for a set himself. Apparently they are pretty hard to find.
