Re: My 56 build
A few pictures I took while I had the truck rolled out to clean the garage.

Re: My 56 build
Right now I’m leaning towards AC Bristol princess blue with a pearl white roof n engine compartment. But who knows... I’ve changed my mind three times since I’ve started
![]() Here’s a link to an AC Bristol in that color. It changes from blue to silver depending on the light https://www.mecum.com/lots/CA0819-38...stol-roadster/

Re: My 56 build
Worked on the hood some this weekend. Still a work in progress. Have to do some more adjusting to get it right. I’m getting closer!

Re: My 56 build
Had to finish a little project before it gets too cold up north. The interior of my garage was still in primer. Took a whole weekend but, it’s painted!
Now onto gapping everything...boring stuff. Finished the fender/hood and the right side door/B pillar. Still have to do the fender/door on that side and the hood/cowl. Goal is to have it all in primer by the end of the month.

Re: My 56 build
Took a week off to get the truck in primer before it gets too cold up here. Finished the right hand door gap. Then I started the disassembly, cleaning metal and doing touch ups as I go. Finished the gas pedal mount and the trans blister after removing the engine.

Re: My 56 build
Here’s how the left inner fender ended up. I now have the ECM, TCM, FPCM (Fuel pump control module) and fuse panel (mounts to the door) all tucked in there. I also cut some louvers for ventilation. Should keep everything cool. More to clean tomorrow and hopefully prime on Thursday

Re: My 56 build
looks fantastic . I did the same as you for the inner fenders. Iam not sure how low your truck will sit ,or the size of wheels, but check the front wheel clearance /travel to the fenders if you can. Iam on air ride and it was real close to rubbing when aired out and I had to modify it.....come to think about it, just about everything I had to do to to my truck had to be modified, even some of the bolt on guaranteed to fit parts! lol

Re: My 56 build
Where did you guys find your Gen V powertrains? I've looked on eBay and I don't find that many engine/trans combos. I'd also be interested in getting the fans, radiator, and intake.

Re: My 56 build
That’s cool. I haven’t found mine difficult to install. I’ll see how it goes as I slowly piece everything else together, then try to start it.

Re: My 56 build
My firewall clearance is about 3” and I have 7” of clearance between the dampener and core support. My firewall/blister is completely custom so it will be different from stock.
