Projects 1956 Pontiac 4dr ht

I got the front end started, mostly because the parts were taking up room in my already increasingly small shop. That was my excuse to take a break from renovations to work on the car anyway haha. Now that the fenders are on I'm finally getting an idea for how big this car really is, it's m***ive! I haven't measured yet, but just eyeballing it, I'm pretty sure it's longer than my daily driver C10.
Figured I'd throw this on too, my score while taking renovation trash to the dump, a booth seat. My new beer table for the garage!

 

Found some minor damage now that I can look at the car a little better. Nothing major though.

 

I found this while I was unpacking parts. Grill piece?
Also, if anyone can answer my above question about whether a 55 Chevy Wagon windshield will fit my 56 Poncho it'd really help me out, thanks!

 

One more thing for today, found this cool old bumper jack in a building I was hauling s**** out of, figured I couldn't throw it away..... I may have a hording problem....

 

55,56 2 door hardtop,4 door hardtop,Nomad and convertible use the same windshield.
55,56 2 door sedan,4 door sedan,and wagons use the same windshield.(one you need)
57 2 door hardtop,4 door hardtop,Nomad and convertible use the same windshield.
57 2 door sedan,4 door sedan,and wagons use the same windshield.
57's will not fit any 55 or 56, because of the cowl differences.

That chrome piece looks like the center piece from the accessory front bumper guard.

 

If the windshield is from a Bel Air wagon it's different. Nomad uses a hardtop windshield. There's close to 2" difference.

 

So I have to find out if it was actually from a Bel Air Wagon or a Nomad, thanks for the info!

I think you're right, I just looked at the bumper guards, it fits. Is this a hard thing thing to find by any chance?

 

Kind of rare, especially if it isn't all hammered up from playing bumper tag. I hunted for a long time for one for my sedan delivery, never ever found a nice one within my price range - I'm a cheapskate. Your car looks like a really good starting point for a nice cruiser.

 

Glad you are making progress!!!!!! I know the front end has been off mine since the end of May and I have kinda forgotten outside of pictures what she looks like as a complete car! So when looking and measuring it seems they are only a few inches shorter than a Large Suburban!
