Re: 56 Chevy (RIP)

The gray does look pretty good, I believe that was the original interior color as well but was repainted sometime in the 70's to the blueish / teal color you see in previous pictures. The dash will be black, rest of interior will be a color match to the blue-green. Sill steps will get raptor liner.

As for suspension, this kit will produce a rake but I want it as small as possible, will set the frame for 1" lower in front than rear. I'll fit the cab and front fenders on with wheel mockup prior to fully welding in crossmember. I'm expecting to move the spindle center line forward about 1" from stock. Tires will not be staggered diameters, just wider in the back.
