    Mini Tub Project and New Wheels done

    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.

    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...

    Really impressed you did that without a repaint.
