    I picked up a 56 Coronet 2dr. sedan a few months back and have been torn what to do with. I was thinking the custom route but being a sedan it just doesn't really work for me.But after seeing this photo shopped 56 it's got me thinking this direction.Whats the H.A.M.B community say?

    I think it'll look goofy, but that's just me.

    I'd do up like an old Moonshine runner.

    Not to piss people off though,I won't call it a gasser,that label gets thrown around almost as much as the R word.And it will be painted I hate patina almost as much.

    YEAH !!! I liked it when I saw it posted the first time ! All of the sudden it seems that there are 20 or so straight axle cars going together in my area. EVERY ONE is a 55 or 57 chev! One of my favorite memories from those days was the diversity of the cars. I'd love to do one, that's why I wanted to do my 50 fastback, it's DIFFERENT ! Anyway, DO IT, old HEMI, waaay cool !!

    I think I'll stick to my roots and scoot the front end forward and inch or three.That'll take it out of the gasser cliche and into the the altered ranks.Gotta be a little different.

    Definatley go with the gasser idea man. That looks******in, and it's way different than most gassers you see. I dig the color scheme too.
