Re: My 56 build

Doors are installed. Now to wait for the seals to settle. First set took about 2 years. I bought another set for the final assembly. (A wire wheel ate the first set.) First time using weatherstrip adhesive. Went pretty well. Made quite the mess. Even managed to get some in my hair! Was with the effort

The hardware came from classic auto and the glass came from balls rod and kustom. I upgraded the switches. They are from a 2000 impala(rockauto)

Re: My 56 build

looks great Jason. I remember doing door seals on my 67 camaro. OMG what a mess. I tried so hard to be neat but got it on my gloves and apparently touched even surface possible with it.

Re: My 56 build

More progress. Most of the front end is assembled. Cold air intake and electrical box cover are done. Lights are all wired. Grill is in. Hood is almost ready for buffing. Next is to finish my interior wiring and install windows in the doors.

Re: My 56 build

Getting close to my initial shake down ride. Most of the exterior is complete. Just the hood, tailgate, and bedwood left. I now understand why the car shows say the last 10% of the build takes 90% of the time. I’m making good progress.

Re: My 56 build

Finished most of the electrical and got it running again. Finally pulled it out to see how it looks in the sun. Hopefully going to get the hood on this weekend. Here’s a few pictures.
