Looks pretty solid. Post some more pics!

 

It's not really a HAMB style build. The idea was more a "modern" '56 but built to look like it "could have come that way" save for an engine upgrade.

One thing HAMB about it though, the only thing we (my father and I--it's his car) didn't do was the upholstery. Everything else, body, paint, mechanical, wiring, etc, was done by us, and features many junk yard parts adapted to fit.

Another very HAMB-like feature; it gets driven a lot. On its maiden voyage (after a few shakedown runs) we drove it from Maryland to Ohio to the Cl***ic Chevy Show that year (2003 if I remember correctly) where it took best 1956 Modified, scored 996 points, and earned a Platinum Certificate. Since then, my wife and I have moved to Tennessee, and Mom and Dad have moved to North Carolina. The '56 is still with them, and is driven regularly on both local and long distant trips. It has been driven to Florida, Tennessee, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and a few other states to boot. With fuel injection and overdrive, it pulls a good 23 mpg on the highway with the top up and the A/C on.

Dad is now 70, and shows no signs of slowing down. He is currently building a '59 Impala 2 door hard top.

 

My 56 Bel Air... we had a extremely mild winter ( no snow at all, which is not usual for southern Germany ) so I cleaned the cars last weekend and took the 56 for a spin.

 

Two of my all-time favorites:

 

Geez, I love slammed '56s! Very nice.

 

My 56 on the 1/8th mile in Englishtown, NJ.

 

^^^^ that is one sharp 56... paint/wheel/stance is all spot on

 

Thank you. I rebuilt the entire car, except for paint. Last July I sold it to the son of the guy who originally restored it like 25 years ago. I used the money to buy the 31A in my avatar. I loved the 56, but I really love the 31. The 56 is back where it belongs. I was it's care taker for 10 years.

 

Thanks!

 

that is nice good looking 56

 

Thanks Butch. Judging by your avatar you may be just a little bias. Between you and me, I think the 56 is the best year of the Tri-5s.

 

that flag in upper left looks like a plane crashing...nice 56!

 

This pretty little Nomad just go added to the Bronx Fleet!

 

Been beating on this for a year now. It had been hit twice, pretty sure it had rolled and goats had danced on the roof. One step at a time.

 

Looking good, I think I have the sister car to yours...I only wish I was better at body work

 

Put some wide whites and some chrome wheels on for the correct look. This wagon has a 3M vehicle wrap for color. We kept the patina and covered/protected it with a color vinyl wrap to keep it cheap and reversible.

 

How did you do that vinyl wrap? That is freaking cool!

 

That car is wrapped ? That is awesome.

 

Yep, Did'nt want to put a 10k dollar paint on a 5k dollar wagon. Took 20-30 hours to install, $450-$500 in material and it's guaranteed from 3M for 5 years. No body shop down time, No dis***embly, No over spray, No DA sand marks on gl*** and trim, Just a removable colors. That look and feel like paint.

 

...that's gotta be a job puttin that on ...how long to do the whole car?

 

Then and now...just got it running. But, haven't touched the body yet

 

SmokinBill, I don't know how it looks up close, but that really looks good in photos.
