Customs Finally starting on the wife’s 56

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by anthony myrick, Jan 5, 2019.

  1. Told the wife if I painted the car it would probably get the same colors with a coat of pearl just to add a small flake

    These spider rings suck to snap on
    Still don’t think they are fully snapped on. Has a gap

    They looked a lot less Deep Dish on the floor. So long as you'd drive it, that'll work.

  5. Was wanting that. Kind of a 60s reverse look

    Anthony ~ The wheels look great in blue and I am amazed how good the paint looks after a little cleaning.

    BTW, what type of head-cap-hub-cap are you sporting in your avatar? Kind of reminds me of Tom Terrific! :D HRP

    I thought it was the top of an air filter housing. It needs a little red propeller on top that spins in the wind!

  10. One coil removed should do it.
     
  11. One coil cut
    2 inch spindles
    Needs one more coil removed

    Wow front seat seems to be a tough unit to locate for a tri 5 car
     
  15. Engine pulled

    Was in the bus originally. Son used it for a while in his c40.
    Next up is the 56.
    After a mild transformation
    Looked like this when we built it

    will probably go 56 red this time. Script covers, cb intake and stock brackets this time.
