    Love the '56's, here's my daily from back in the day. Couldn't afford a set of chrome wheels since I was married with a kid on the way - so a set of "Plymouth points" had to do. e. our '56, Barstow, 1961.jpg

    Nice color choice. I wouldn't go crazy with the drop. When I build a car I think ahead how long will I probably keep the car. If I plan to keep it for a long time, I build it my way. That's a nice car and some day you might want to sell it and move on to something else. The more you customize it the more you narrow the market for your car. Again nice car, just something to ponder. Good luck with your project.

  11. Here is mine. It's a 210, not a Bel Air. A set of wide whites really makes these pop. I'd like to lower it more but for now I'll settle for the slight drop that comes from sagging factory installed springs IMG_6096.JPG IMG_6098.JPG IMG_6099.JPG IMG_6102.JPG .
     
  12. Love the colors! Looks a lot like mine.

    Its amazing how good you can make a these stock bodied cars look with just lowering and adding decent wheels and tires.

    Always loved that trim package for two tone paint, is it "150" trim?

    It's a 210 sport coupe.
     
  18. 56 is my absolute favorite of the Tri-Chevy years.
