It's a drawing of Roy Brizio's '55 and I'd like to give proper credit to the artist.

I believe that is Thom Taylor's signature on that rendering!

Very likely Jeff...

Not too many closeups but this one I like during the build.

I was a Brizios about 4 months ago when I was shopping for the frame for my 37 build...

I've been in a lot of shops - but this one is where I'd work for FREE if they'd let me... The quality of the cars they build is beyond excellent and they're built to DRIVE... many of his cars have been x country multiple times. They actually have like a group that does this.

I had to laugh when I was there because these guys are really known for building 30's cars - 32's and 36 Fords etc - but right in the middle of the shop was a 69 Camaro -- and there was a 55 Chevy in there too... Not this one but someone else's car.

Any of you flying through SFO (San Francisco) airport should make a couple hour layover and jump over to this shop.

Visiting Brizio's...that's sounds like good advice Greg. :thumbsup:

It will be interesting to see what style build they do on that '69 Camaro. That is one car this bystander didn't expect to be in Roy's shop. :D

The best 55' done to date in my book. Subtle, perfect stance, spot on color and interior. The re-worked dash is a nice touch. Go to Roy's site, and check out the build pictures....roybriziostreetrods.com
