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...
One more thing for today, found this cool old bumper jack in a building I was hauling scrap out of, figured I couldn't throw it away..... I may...
I found this while I was unpacking parts. Grill piece?[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Also, if anyone can answer my above question about whether a 55 Chevy...
Found some minor damage now that I can look at the car a little better. Nothing major though.[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
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...
I haven't been back for awhile, with moving and renovations at the new place I got a little busy. Now I'm back, and I need some help. I may have...
Awesome I'll keep that in mind! Do they have other trim as well?
I have the trim for the fins in a box, along with most of the trim, the lights, and all the mouldings. Just missing the three stars and where it...
So I believe I'm missing some trim for the trunk, and rather than get some trim to put on it I thought it might be a good spot for a little pin...
That's similar to my situation, I just bought a house and perfect paint just isn't in the budget. That being said, primer done right can look...
I never really finish a project either, it's always an ongoing thing. Nice poncho!
Will do!
The problem is as I said I'm on a budget, and if I paint it then I also have to re-chrome everything, paint the engine (which I might do anyway),...
Good to know!
I'm with you all except for a shiny paint job, I like my patina for one, and I'm also on a very limited budget. Maybe someday it'll get the paint...
Yes, just missing the windshield, rear window, oil bath breather setup and air conditioning stuff, so far everything else seems to be there, as...
Wow that's weird!! I work on AT-802's used to fight forest fires, along with their scouts (called bird dogs), Aerostars and Cessna 337's. I also...
Cool thread and cool car, I'm going to follow along. Here's the 56 4 door hardtop I just got![ATTACH]
So I've been thinking and I've got two different directions I'd like to go with this. 1. Red oxide primer and tan primer 2 tone (red and beige...
Whoops, here's the rest
Hi, I'm new to the H.A.M.B. but after being here a few times I think I'm in the right place, so I figured I'd introduce myself and share some...
A few more pictures of some of the parts, and my garage isn't normally this messy but I'm doing renovations to the house too
I just got my new project car home. It's a 1956 Pontiac Star Chief Catalina, 4 door hardtop. It's originally from Arizona and 99% rust free. All...
Nice build, I like the 50's four doors myself. Possibly looking at a '53 Pontiac Monday (that's how I stumbled onto this forum). This is the only...
