Greg,

You don't see near as many 56's as 55's & 57's it seems. So nice to see one cuz there are some cool styling touches on those cars.

BTW-what's going on with the current motor in it?

We are making some one off wheels right now for Jerry Magnuson, pin drive knock off type.

I have friends who are like this. If it wasn't for people like you some of us would be discouraged and defeated in this hobby.

Keep the updates coming!

It took my buddy Pierre AKA Frenchy -- 10 years to build this car... and at the time he bought a "mild" 460 (bored 454)... well... let's just say this motor ain't what it's supposed to be. Super low compression - non performance iron heads - oil burner... and all around just not fitting of the surroundings in which it sits. So a new 496 cubic inch Brodix aluminum headed torque monster was built to take it's place.

Thank you! That's EXACTLY how I feel. I have some minor skills -- some time for helping - a dry warm spot in which to work and have some fun doing it. It's payback time.

Jeff-

Exactly -- and firing off a car like this and watching blue smoke roll -- just isn't becoming of such a stately lady.

Thanks Tracy! I don't know what materials I'm going to use... I'm leaning to real leather "just because" - but we'll have lots of discussions about this choice when the time comes.

We're showing our age. A '55 was what we drove in high school. You could buy a real nice one for $500 to $750!! We only dreamed of even SEEING a '69 Camaro! Actually -- in high school -- the HOT car was a '69 Road Runner! But tri-fives are special.
