Real Deal Steel Debuts Conversion Kits For Four-Door Tri-Fives

rds1

New from Real Deal Steel – a conversion kit for four-door Tri-Fives into two-door versions. These kits work on 1955 and 1957 models and include all major sheet metal components. See more details below.

Official Release:

With the growing scarcity of buildable 1955 and 1957 Chevy two-door sedans, many enthusiasts turn to four-door sedans when they can’t find a solid two-door.

That’s fine, but there is an alternative. Real Deal Steel now offers a complete kit to convert any four-door 1955 or 1957 Chevy into a two-door sedan. Combine an affordable four-door ’55 or ‘57 with this kit and the result is a ’55 or ‘57 two-sedan that is more affordable than a pristine two-door.

The kit includes all major sheet metal components. The conversion requires extensive cutting and welding, but it allows the builder to maintain the original frame, top structure, rear glass and deck area. The work requires no modifications of the original trunk floor, trunk lid or original rear inner trunk walls.

The kit includes doors, rocker panels, inner quarter panels, outer quarter panels, inner lock pillars and upper B pillars. Helpful installation tips and photos are included.

All components are made from new steel and manufactured to the exacting standards of all Real Deal Steel products.

Real Deal Steel produces all-steel reproduction bodies for American Classics from the Forties, Fifties and Sixties: 1940 Ford five-window coupes, 1955-1957 Chevys, 1967-1969 Camaros and Firebirds and 1966-1967 Chevy II Nova two-door hardtops. Ford bodies are licensed by Ford Motor Company and Chevrolet bodies are licensed by GM.

The bodies are assembled in Sanford, FL, from high quality steel structural components to exact factory specifications on Real Deal Steel’s proprietary assembly fixtures that guarantee exact factory-spec fit every time.

All structural and skin assembly utilizes water-cooled 220V resistance spot welders – the same technology used in much-larger automotive assembly plants. Real Deal Steel generally uses 25 percent more spot welds than original to give the bodies added strength.

In addition to factory-original bodies, Real Deal Steel also offers modification options such as customized firewalls and mini-tub wheel housings, in addition to a wide selection of individual steel panels for American classics.

Features:

  • Includes all major sheet metal components
  • Allows builder to maintain original frame, top structure, rear glass, and deck area
  • All components made from new steel and match exact standards
