No plans for the 56. I have a 57 4 door I am going to try to get ready for drag week 2015 hopefully.

Looks like your 57 is "rotting away" just like your grandpa's 56. :) Get to work!!! :)

:) hi y-man and welcome. good to have you here. nice projects.
57 looks to be pretty solid, a much easier task than the 56. Get that on the road first, will give you something to drive while working on Grandpa's car..

I aleays got to be different selol the 57 and fix the car with family history. But then I never was much on 57s either.

Real vintage!
The good old days.
The young people can never understand the joy in this.

I'm not sure what prompted the reopening of this old thread, but I'm glad that it happened, as I wasn't on this site when they were posted... What happened to Yotaman?
I noticed by the VIN on the 'grandfather's '56', that is was a very early Norwood, OH production, but yotaman didn't have a location listed in his profile. AND I really like the white '57 BA ... I'd love to have a solid 57 4-dr to customize... lower it, add AC and all the power, nice interior, nice wheels, and tinted glass... and enjoy driving it daily!
PS. I have a solid '57 BA 4-dr, but it's way too original to think about customizing it... :)

That '56 is actually not that rotted, for a 65 year-old car. Keeping it under a roof isn't the worst way to store one. Getting plenty of air keps the moisture down.
It looks like only surface rust, except for a small hole between the front left turn signal lamp and the wheelwell

They have both probably sunk about a foot into the ground by now. Unfortunate. I hope I am wrong.
