Over the winter I installed the Woodys Wheel Tubs, Installed new fuel cell in trunk and installed a rear mounted tranny cooler with fan. I also wired in a led light on the load side of the transmission cooler fan switch, so when fan is on I can see a small green led on my gauge cluster.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170313/02a97e166379910d7506a22d9bdfe3de.jpg

You have an outstanding appearing '56, JT.... I don't think I'd challenge it on the street either~ :)

The beautiful color combo appears to be, or *similar* to an original color code... Grecian Gold and Calypso Cream? or a reasonable facsimile of? :)

Bama it resembles the original colors, but the car was sierra gold and adobe beige. Mine is a custom blend. Thank you. It runs pretty good

Robert they are Billet Specialties Street Lite's. Been out for awhile, but they only came in a polished version. Now they come in black. Which I was hesitant at first but they really made a difference in attitude with it. I will say its a pain to get them in there!!!

What a great custom 56 Chevy! The stance and front end is right on IMO.
And it's nice to see someone posting their progress in this forum...:p

May I ask a question hopefully without derailing your thread. Where did you find your front roll pan? I am thinking of de-bumpering my 55 wagon. I know it entails cutting the frame horns but I already think its been bumped in the front at some point plus my welder can handle putting them back on later if I want.

Haven't seen anything on line and was wondering if you could point me in the right direction.

And your 56 is killer.

Thx, S
