I bought my 56 in 94 and it sat many years. It was rusty, no engine or trany or interior. 3 out of 4 windows cracked. in 06 I put a used engine in it that ran on 7. then it sat some more until I put a new engine in it in 2013. It has been on the road since. Trany changed from T350 to a 2004R to a Tremec 5 speed. rear end is a 57 housing with a posi 373. 56-13.jpg

the color on the car was bought online at TCP. They called it rally green but when I opened the can of paint it was not. IMO. It was very bright green so I added a quart of black to a gallon of the green to tame it down a bit, it has metal flake and I think a bit of peril in it.Last edited by burngasoline; 11-06-2022, 04:44 AM.Comment
