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.

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:
