56 Chevy wall art

Wanted to share a little project I just got done with. I'm usually in the 60-66 section with my 63 Panel truck but I recently just made some are I wanted to share with you all.

I had a friend contact me saying him and his wife were expecting a baby and he wanted to do an old truck theme in the baby room. I met up with him and he said he liked the look of the 55-56 front end.
We found this pic online to go after.

Add a hood. Sorry for the sideway pictures. Not sure why they are uploading like that.

Re: 56 Chevy wall art

They wanted the truck to appear 3D coming out of the wall. Adding some fenders.

Re: 56 Chevy wall art

I found some CJ7 jeep turn signal lenses in a junk yard that worked out perfect.

Re: 56 Chevy wall art

Lookin pretty cool!!!! Love full size auto wall art.

Sly McFlys Restaurant in Monterey, CA used to have a really cool entire side of a 32 Ford Coupe on the wall and the door opened up into the Mens Bathroom! They removed it all and made a dancefloor or something now. But they still have a Bugatti hung over the bar!!!!

Re: 56 Chevy wall art

Thanks guys. Here's how it turned out. I bead rolled a piece around the windshield to give it some depth. I found enough old Ohio license plates to spell their last name so I added that to the bumper. Overall it turned out pretty good.
