Hood is done.
 Can’t wait for a sunny day to see it outside.

Re: My 56 build
Here’s a couple pictures and a link to a video of it outside. I finished the tailgate and bed wood today. It’s also now road legal. Picked up a plate on Tuesday. Now to finish the interior. Getting close to a shake down run
Here’s the link to the video: https://youtube.com/shorts/JmfzXUovn-c?feature=shared

Re: My 56 build
It’s officially been on a shake down run. Had it up to 60. Drives straight, but still needs an alignment. Have a drive train noise I have to diagnose. I’ll get to that later. Also, I wasn’t sure the coolant system would work the way I set it up. Seems to be ok. Almost runt too cool. I have 20+ miles on it now. It definitely has plenty of power and those borlas sound great. So now onto the interior. I didn’t want to pull the seat back out. Can’t drive it now
 Started by finishing the center console in maple. Then made some side for the seats.

Re: My 56 build
Started wrapping interior panels today. I invested in the gallon of contact adhesive and a $15 hobo freight paint gun. I’ve see it done on tv. So far I’ve been pretty successful. Started on the ceiling. Material went on well, but that rubber gasket that goes up there is a lot of fun to get in place. I can’t get the corners in. I’ll attempt again tomorrow. I made the corner panels (3rd picture) out it aluminum. Worked well. I put 6x9 in them. They also conceal the seat belt reels. The holes are for the seat belts to travel through. The kick panels are nearly done. Just have door panels and I have to finish clearing the wood work. Tomorrow’s project… I have the week off

Re: My 56 build
All the senses are on high alert on a first drive. 'What was that?' , 'Did you hear something?', "Do you smell something? is something burning?'..... very stressful
Glad it all worked out OK, as it looks fantastic. Congratulations

Re: My 56 build
Looking very nice.
Seeing the headliner pic, I did mine last fall, I was exhausted once finished.
