    Getting ready to start on this, I've owned it 40 years, finally time to do it! 20200321_162601.jpeg 20200321_162612.jpeg 20200321_162703.jpeg 20170913_103745.jpeg

    You should have plenty of time now, with the lockdown and all!

    After 40 years you have an awfully clean garage!

    If in Michigan I'm assuming you stored it indoors. Solid.

    Sweet!! Only thing better than a 56 F100 is a 56 Chevy wagon.

  9. When it comes to Handyman wagons the 56 is my favorite. What's the plan?

    Looks like a solid start. Here’s pics of my ‘56 210 wagon. I know...it has a few too many doors, but it’s a wagon, so doors are necessary.

  13. A little battered but the metal is there! Great start, intact originals like that are rare these days. @'56 150 clarified for me what goes on the rear quarter panel near the tail light. A script.

    I'm using what I have "in stock" to build it. 1996 LT1 700R4, 9 inch rear, steel wheels, static drop.

    I've always wanted a 56, Model 150, Handyman Wagon; only thing, other than a Willys Coupe I'd trade the Delivery for. Friend of mine, who deals in 55-57 Chevrolet cars AND parts, had one; he recently sold it and the new owner is Gasser-fying it. I had a Model 210, Handyman for a while, but it was't plain enough for me. Little trim/chrome, little accessories, and generally, little demand as most guys want something more "dressed up". I am Butch/56sedandelivery.
