Re: My 56 Handyman build
The upholstery has started on the wagon. All the fabric has finally arrived. The headliner has been started with the panels being measured out and cut out.
The carpet pad is now installed, The rough fit of the carpet has been started. The wind lace has been installed along with the headliner tack strip.

Re: My 56 Handyman build
This is the last post on my 56 Chevy Handyman Wagon.
I entered the car in a local car show. It was a small show only 350 cars. The 56 won Best 50's Modified. A pleasant surprise. Thanks go out to: Mark Chance aka Liverat for welding and fabrication. David Larson's Hot Rod Shop for body, paint and assembly. Carl at Creative Interiors for the upholstery.

Re: My 56 Handyman build
I have been battling oil leaks. First valve covers then the dreaded intake manifold gaskets along with oil pressure plugs.
I'm happy to say the leaks are now stopped and all mosquitoes are now safe.

Re: My 56 Handyman build
Got to see you and your car up at Arlington earlier this summer. Looks great!
So much work you had to have done, basically a brand new car all the way around.
