    I cannot seem to find wheelhouses for my 56! Mine have a bad case of rust. Thoughts?

    Maybe you can buy reproduction wheelhouses for a tri-five Chevy and use them as patch panels for yours.

    The only other thing that I can suggest is find a donor car and start cutting.

    There's an NOS p***enger side wheelhouse on fleecebay right now. I doubt you want to pay $400 plus another $100 for shipping.

    If it's just going to be a driver, I think I'd go cut some out of a late(r) model donor and make them fit.
