Hey man, digging the thread and the car so far. I'm a fairly young guy (20) also waist deep in a trifive build with my 56. These older guys know...

I've looked high and low across the internet for a company that makes a one piece fiberglass front end for a 56 chevy. The only ones I've been...
I swear I've seen that roadster in person before, I think it was at the rt66 mother road festival in Springfield, IL. Awesome car!
I've had to step away for a few days for work, but I think I'll look at the butterflies first off. It seems to make the most sense to me. Had the...
It's an older unit that was gone through a few years ago. Running on recent pump gas.

I've pretty much decided to go against doing the axle on this car, just hoping right now I'll be able to find more pictures of this thing. I'm...
Thanks to gotta56forme, I now know what my car looked like quite awhile before I had it. All I have is one photo that was posted by an account...
