Re: My 56 build

Handles are done and some progress on the accent pieces. As far as bodywork goes, I’m close to getting everything back in primer

I follow your detailed work you do to see the next finished part you create. The work and skill you have is amazing. Keep it up. When do you predict a rolling classic?

Re: My 56 build

Progress pictures. Rear view mirror, visors and dash emblem are mounted. Everything is back in epoxy primer before the humidity gets bad. Still have to finish the front fenders and firewall. Once everything is black I’ll spray gray high build to block for final paint. The color change should help prevent sanding to metal.

Thanks, I thrive on seeing progress. It’s amazing how long it takes to prep for paint, but the result is very satisfying.

Thanks, I’m really happy with how all the wood is coming out. I still plan on doing a small panel in the center console, lower section of the center console, and the lower seat panels in wood. Should look unique.

Re: My 56 build

Finished fab work on the center console. Should be the end of metal fab on this project. Plan on putting a charging port on the back of the console. Just some bodywork and it should be done. Even had time tonight to make the wood insert.

Re: My 56 build

Good idea on the charging ports. I would put in a couple, 1 hot with key on and 1 hot with key off.

Re: My 56 build

That's some intricate fab work on the console. The pic that shows the backside of the console really shows how much effort went into creating that panel. Nice work!

Thanks, I’m getting pretty good a beating metal into the shape I want. I plan on installing a double din pioneer radio in the top of the console to finish it off.

Re: My 56 build

Center console just needs body work. Ended up mounting the radio from the back with a couple straps. It the opposite of how it’s supposed to be. The single din radio part is supposed to be mounted and the screen is supposed to float. I didn’t like that look. I rolled all the edges of the opening for a consistent look. I really like how I turned out. I have next week off, so I’m hoping to get the frame stripped down and painted.

Re: My 56 build

Looking good. I know what you mean about those screens. The advertisement photos always shows them straight on but I never like the look from the side when you can see how much it sticks out. Hope to get back to work on my console soon. Keep up the good work

Re: My 56 build

Progress update. I’ve been working on final details that need to be addressed before paint. Drilled holes and mounted the door cards. Kick panels are in with speakers. Also made the wood base for the center console. My grille finally came in, so I made sure all the front end chrome would fit!

Re: My 56 build

Ive been trying do figure out how to stop the hood from falling into the grille when it’s open. When I was taking apart my tailgate I decided to use the same style spring latches. Works well and won’t need a prop rod. I have about 1” + clearance to the grille. I have to do some final fitting of the hood and doors. Then everything gets pulled apart and I’m going to finish and paint the frame. Then onto the body paint

Re: My 56 build

Last piece of fabrication… I think Made a cold air intake box. I noticed when I was just idling it down the road the intake air temp was 120 with the filter so close to the exhaust. Bought the paint yesterday. A little more fit and finish and it’s coming apart to paint the frame.

that is a really nice execution, and even adds a little bit of ram-air in there.
