Look what followed me home today,Garage find 56 Chevy

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by 32cruisin, Jul 28, 2012.

  1. Today I picked up a real solid 56 Chevy 4 door . In storage around 30 years with some recent work done on drive train. Less than 100 miles on an overhaul, new tires , new brakes and new dual exhaust. I am stoked. Me and a friend unloaded the car and fired it up and drove it for a couple hours today,sounds and runs awsome. Need interior work but I can handle that.

    You say it needs interior work? Actually, the interior looks about the same as the exterior to me.

  19. Yes , it will be nice with the grandkids. My plans are to drop the front a bit and leave the rest alone and have fun with it, maybe do a little interior work this winter.The cars to nice to do anything major to.Should be fun.

    I was waiting for someone to say that. That's a really nice looking car as it is, and unless you uncover major body rust or damage I think it should be left as is. Except for some dress up like tires/wheels and a really comfy interior. Set it up for cruisin with the family or your close buds.

    That car is begging to be a 2 tone.

    Paint the tail, top & between the side trim white.

    Nice car enjoy it as is.
     
  26. Yup that would look great... right next to the million others EXACTLY like that.

    I'd go as-is! Looks awesome, she wears her age very well. Dare to be different in spite of all the others who want it to be "different" just like the others, yet another 2 tone shoebox.
