1956 chevy gasser build

I would like to take a moment to give credit where it is due, this project and all its progress would not be possible if it weren't for Mike Borema and Gas Axe Garage. His work , his quality and dedication to Hot rodding in general , are second to none!! His builds are works of art!

 

Hey, I know that handsome feller!

 

What rims are these ?

 

I was curious of the make of the ladder bars you are running? How long are yours as well? I have a 56 gasser in the works and was wanting to use a similar setup. Thanks, John

 

Swade im checking on what brand the rims are, i cant remember atm, must be my CRS kickin g in, as for the ladder bars i got them off the internet,ebay i believe and paid i think about 200 for them, he makes them in any size up to 55 inches i think , i went with 48 for mine.

 

Am i the handsome feller , or are you referring to your hubby? lol

 

Dang that's good! I was hoping to run 48" ladder bars as well, but hell I may even go longer!? Thanks for the information! Looking good..

 

Thank you, and yeah, i wish i had went longer.

The doors got a total work over, and are now resting, they need there energy for tomorrow they get mud, and sanding!

Most of the above photos are from yesterday, i was very busy today and forgot to take photos, the next time i see the car it will probably be in color tho (if all goes well) The body guy is doing the doors tomorrow and the front end on Saturday, and Sunday(knock on wood) it goes to paint,. Then, the mad dash to assemble and get the lettering finished. This is gonna be very close.
