56 frame off build
Hi Guys, I am new to this forum, although I have been using it as a resource for a while. I wanted to give back and document a long delayed dream. To build a high school graduation present from my parents. After high school, college, marriage, three kids and a shop and house build its been almost 16 years since my parents gave it to me. So I recently hauled it over 500 miles home and put it to bed in my shop. My plans are to build an all out cool ride with: A LS, four speed/5 speed independent front suspension, four link rear, AC, Maybe air ride, And black paint with grey torque thrust wheels, minimal chrome.
Would appreciate any advice and help. I plan to post frequent up dates and pictures. Thanks!!! |

Re: 56 frame off build
Welcome aboard looking forward to watching the build. It looks gr8 for what you have to start with, judging by the photos you probably don't have a lot rust issues and hopefully no patch panels and replacement fenders to deal with. Have fun
