Builder: SaltWorks Fab (Sarasota, FL)
This Tri-Five is currently under the knife at SaltWorks Fab in Sarasota, Florida. It arrived at the shop as a well-crafted, finished car. Plans were drawn up to maintain the exterior, but to customize the underhood and interior to the new owner’s liking. That underhood area is getting a complete refresh centered around a vintage-appearing LS with Lokar’s Rochester injection intake system. The backdated powerplant will be surrounded by new sheetmetal with a vintage vibe.
Moving to the interior you can see mildly bolstered seats with a nod to factory GM styling. The dash takes the double-hump setup from the factory while adding more layering and detailing. Individual brows will shade the custom gauge cluster and passenger-side bezel. A bright blue accent has been chosen to add life to the mainly black interior. Custom-machined door trim brings some exterior trim styling elements inside as well.
