New with a '56
Well I'm new to the forum and just thought that I would post up some pics of my new 56 project. I decided 20 years ago that I would have one of these some day and that day came about 3 weeks ago.
So with out further adue, here she is.....

Re: New with a '56
I'm thinking LS3 engine, automatic, Atomic Orange Metallic paint. It's already about the height I want it, maybe an inch or two shorter. Most likely I'm going to put a fuel cell in the bed and shave everything on the outside. Still in the "that would be cool stage" though.

Re: New with a '56
May I ask what kind of explosives you used?
I like the way you're thinking about taking it. |

Re: New with a '56
I just hooked it up to the Ford and it fell apart from embarrassment.

Kinda reminds me of what it looks like when my 50+ year old ass gets a bit out of control on a ski slope - yard sale!!! OP: I had to run to my shop to make sure my old truck is still there, yours is identical to it!!! I'm tossing the original chassis and putting the body on a '63 GMC with an '85 front crossmember. It's going to be a lot cheaper this route than doing a front clip or swap, plus I'll get the rear trailing arm suspension. Looks like you're minus a hood - too bad you're so far away from me, I have an extra. Keep us posted!!! Last edited by BigBlocksRule; 06-10-2010 at 07:05 AM. |
