Projects 1956 Chevy 2 door wagon build

Just a small little update, not to much progress with the holidays. I was able to finish up some metal work on the body. I welded in the spare tire tub and seam sealed all my joints. Hope to make some progress on the body work in the next month. Only bad news I came across was that my doors are junk, after sandblasting they have more in holes in them then swiss cheese. I now will have something to look for at the swap meets....

 

keep at it, great to see another tri 5 brought back to life

 

Love these cars. We've had several and wish I still had 'em!! I think the '56 is the prettiest of all the tri-fives, any body style you want!

 

always been a fan of the tri-five 2 door wagons. keep us posted on your progress

 

Its been a few weeks since I've posted any updates so I figured I post some pictures. A few weeks back I was looking on craigslist and I found 2 very nice doors. The ones I had were ok, but these looked very nice. After I got them home, I took the grinder to them, they had a few small spots on the door both and the other needs a few other patches. I also have the body in the first stages of body work, I hope to be spraying some high build primer in the next few weeks to start blocking. I did get the patches installed in the drivers door today, plus I had some help with the clean up.

 

Happy Day before Easter, I been a little busy with work so I have not been able to make much progress on the wagon. I was able to take Good Friday off and get the body in 2 coats of high build primer. I would say the body is about 90% ready to lay some paint. I did pick up a 67 camaro last week that once I complete will help pay for the wagon. So the wagon might slow down alot more due to changing focus to the camaro. You have to pay for these projects somehow. Have a safe Easter everyone, and safe travels.

 

You have made a lot of progress in the last 6 months and the wagon is really shaping up.

It's a shame you have to stop working on the wagon but I know what you mean,,gotta generate some extra cash to pay the bills. HRP
