Re: 56 chevy build (Aus)

I just spent the last hour looking over your build and I must say it's turning out really SWEET!!! I love the wheel choice, the frame turned out very nice! Keep up the great work, it looks to be paying off!

I also like your daily drive. Sure wish GM sold those here in the States.

Re: 56 chevy build (Aus)

So MY part of the paint is finished. I know why people say save the drama and pay someone haha. But at least at the end i can say i did it all.

Got it all back together now and all the airbag lines run.

Painted the wheels

Hardest part was pressing the bushes and ball joints in. Was NOT easy.

ill just post photos haha

Re: 56 chevy build (Aus)

Spend the whole night on mounting the Elevel sensors. I was told it was going to be tricky and they were not joking. Not easy to get the travel perfect but some perseverance and it worked well.



just Welded the bottom nipple on.

Blake: That is one tight lookin' suspension. Very nice. I can only image how well that air system is going to work. That looks like a great package. Your work is so clean. Good luck going forward.
