BABA YAGA! 1974 Bel Air Concept...

Well, when I sold off all the 1974 Internationals, including the step-side my daughter wanted for her high school senior ride... I had to promise to find and fix up a 1956 Bel Air. I had a '56 Hard Top but lost it during the Jimmy Carter 22% Interest Rate Recession.

So, in keeping with that theme, I was thinking and playing around, not necessarily a good thing, and figured why not make BABA YAGA! a 1974 Bel Air and match it to my daughters car?

So... this is my initial prototype 'on paper' so to speak... I think it has potential. Will have to massage it a bit, but it's not in the "I hate it" category at the moment.

'56 molding should break on the cab behind the door but haven't gotten the right look yet and don't want to butcher the molding too much, so it could just end up on the bed side.

Now if I could just move the gas tank filler tube inside the drivers side taillight housing and put the gas tank between the rails where the spare tire is.... I could really mess up the gas jockeys and have people wondering just what truck it is..... All those years hanging around Bob Selix's shop took its toll!
