Folks Of Interest This guy gets it.....

275/60/15

 

Perfect! And 56 is my favorite Tri5

 

I dig it and I'm a Ford guy also. 56 is my favorite of the tri five chevs, add a perfect hot rod 36 Ford 3 window and I'm drooling!

 

LOL I've got 3 sets of 5 spoke mags. 1 set came from Rocco and Cheaters speed shop in B'ham. Still in original boxes. turns out all i needed was black stock rims!!!!

 

Yep, this guy’s cars are always dead on.

 

In the front as well? Is the rear narrower than stock? On my 55 the 235/60/15 are a challenge to get on and off.
Thanks

 

My favorite 56, Watsons', simple, but a stunner!

 

205/75/15 on stock 5" wheels , rear is stock width, wheels are Wheel Smith 15x7, 4 1/4 BS

 

Thank you! It really looks good

 

I’ve never been a ‘56 fan, but this is KILLER!!!
I would make one very minor suggestion, and move that brake junction block down to the frame, it just cleans that area up.
Well done, Sir!

 

My thought exactly. I was thinking chrome spiders on the wheels & it's done. I used to own a 56 210 model & i don't think it was nice as this one. Mine had a 58 Corvette powertrain in it, but mine was the turquoise & white of that year. Sweet car here.

 

I really like the sleeper , sinister look of the ‘56.

 

I was expecting to see something like this when I opened this thread @Jeff Norwell.
By the way, I also like the 57 more but something tells me that if I had not taken up with the Bowtie Gang this 56 would be on my "want list".

 

Small world, this is the 55 Ford that Rocky had then sold to my Uncle Chris. This photo is in his driveway.

Back to the topic at hand, I would be reluctant to do all black like that but it totally works and looks killer!

 

Another that certainty “gets it” is @olscrounger. All his 40 builds IMO are tasty,timeless ,beauties.

 

Great thread, can I play some more?
OK, you talked me into it.
@alfin32 has one bitchin 55 two-ten.

 

Perfection = No B.S., Simple, clean, thank you Bye!

 

Don’t know who first said it, but LESS IS MORE!

 

I couldn't agree with you more Jeff, everything Ive seen Doug put together is top notch!

 

great job DOUG one of many ALAN

 

One thing on all of Dougs builds Ive seen here is stance, every one of em has the perfect stance ! Thats easier said than done & in the age of bags or "laid out" belly down cars these just look so much better to me. Nice work dude! Inspires me to get our 57 sitting just a little bit better ..

 

Doug is good people, had a great time hanging out with him and solid bunch of other guys at Rich Toonkel's gathering last "fall". I say it that way because it was like 7 degrees Fahrenheit that day and we all froze our asses off. That 56 is absolutely sinister. All business.

 

Both cars have a clean and understated style, they are a perfect example of "less is more"...

 

Agreed

 

A stance Wizard... Dead on execution!

 

This car is so right. It's exactly what I'm aiming for with my own car.

 

I've always admired the understated look of both of these cars. I agree that '56 is perfection in simplicity.

Bravo!
