Re: My 56 Handyman build
Looking great, nice to see progress being made. Looks to me like that curved rear glass could have been tricky to install.

It's getting closer and closer escaping body shop jail.
The doors are done with the final adjustments, tailgate and lift gates are installed, the sound deadening is installed on the floor and doors and the left front fender is still fighting us with the fit with the hood. |

Re: My 56 Handyman build
Beautiful project. I absolutely love it.
May I ask: Why did you install 1955 dash stainless rather than 1956? Just personal preference? I prefer what you have too but I know some guys are sticklers about details like that. |
Re: My 56 Handyman build
Beautiful car.

Finally got to the point where we got the engine started. Moved the car under its own power outside and drove it around the block.
Just a few finishing touches and off to the upholstery shop. |
Re: My 56 Handyman build

This is the last post on my 56 Chevy Handyman Wagon.
I entered the car in a local car show. It was a small show only 350 cars. The 56 won Best 50's Modified. A pleasant surprise. Thanks go out to: Mark Chance aka Liverat for welding and fabrication. David Larson's Hot Rod Shop for body, paint and assembly. Carl at Creative Interiors for the upholstery. |

I have been battling oil leaks. First valve covers then the dreaded intake manifold gaskets along with oil pressure plugs.
I'm happy to say the leaks are now stopped and all mosquitoes are now safe. |
