Okay guys, he's set up to build and ship these kits now. I have nothing to do with it anymore so any issues and you deal with him. Here's his contact info....

I actually have a similar one to that (maybe identical), one of the many things I bought twice. But I couldn't figure out where to mount the motor. The concept is fine if you have room, but in a 56...

Holy crap, I hope mine fits. I never installed it before paint except to kind of hold it in place. Didn't think about the door hinge possibly causing a problem. What power antenna did you use?

Lots of guys do their own home alignment. Only those who can't figure out how to do it, don't understand it, or don't have the patience or time take it to a shop.....just like bodywork or anything...

I'm not a good one to ask since I've removed every bolt and screw from my Nomad and replaced most of the hardware and probably went too far in some areas. What size are the bolts? Have you tried...

The other day I posted this for another member looking for antenna location info. Mine was the factory antenna location. I think a 55 and 56 should be the same.

I've watched several Youtube videos on DIY alignments and there's a lot of ways to make the tires slide. Some guys simply use a trash bag folded over. Some use greased pizza pans. Wax paper sounds...

I completely agree. I do think the guy is honest but timely is another thing. My painter knows him and he told me he doesn't think he'll ever finish it. I was shocked to hear that, because my...

I’m not understanding why you had to make an angled bezel for the antenna. The stock plastic nut was flat on bottom and the antenna was straight vertical. Why did yours sit at an angle??

It's details like that lock misalignment that are so easy to overlook when you're doing a complete build of a car. Like you said before, you need to trial fit EVERYTHING. I know you already had...

I got the front inner fender lower flaps modified and had to take a slice out of the passenger one to make it fit. Also replaced the 6 sheetmetal screw "nuts" with 1/4-20 weld nuts and they're ready...

Looks to me more like 5 1/4" square with the fender edge and 1 1/16" up (in the pic) from the inboard edge of the fender to the edge of the hole. That would put it at 1 9/16" to the center of the...

Those are crossflow radiators mounted in FRONT of the support like the 6 cylinder radiator. I don't know if they're stock supports or aftermarket.

I thought it was pretty simple. Look at the pictures of the engines. One clearly shows a V8 and the other a 6 cylinder. If you look in the assembly manual, the "standard" engine is the 6 cylinder...

Looks to me like the side panels are there and they're chrome. See the reflection of the horns?

Here's some pics. The measurement is from the point of the fender.

The antenna hole has to line up with a hole below it in the cowl. I don't know if it would help or not but I have the factory hole in my fender that I could measure. It's a 56 but I think it's the...

It's tight on a 55 but lots of guys have installed them. Most guys go with a crossflow radiator and large condenser.

Try to find a "zero offset" kit so your wheels aren't moved outboard. The old-style 68-70 Chevelle based kits move the wheel mounting surfaces out 7/8" per side. The problem isn't the calipers,...

Moving right along there Brian! Looks great. I gotta admit I miss doing all that fabrication work. I had more fun doing that than I have the assembly work on my car.

I have all that stuff in red, but the drawing you've posted is for a 6-cylinder. I posted pics showing the difference between the V8 and 6-cylinder linkage.

Welcome to the site. I have a ton of 56 parts so tell us what you need.

I've been working on a few details up front to get ready to install the fenders. I cut the rubber seals for the edge of the fenderwell flaps and "fender protectors" but I won't glue them on until I...

I told you to stop replying to my posts you juvenile prick. That's your typical snyde remark bashing that you've been doing for years. GFY.

210chevy, I decided to take one more look in my attic and guess what I found?

The pedal is a super nice used original one.

I don't have the throttle rod but the rest is in...
