Looks like a great start, What do ya have planned for the winter?

56myway · 10-27-2006, 09:41 PM

Here are a few goodies that I have picked up. I have a 350 with a 700R4. The frame and the cab are going to be painted in the nextg few weeks, I have a set of 17 inch, torch thrust II's, and the color will be a candy apple red with ghost flames. I have also put a web page up with some other pictures that I have taken of it.

Few more pics....

55ChevyPU · 10-27-2006, 10:52 PM

Looks good, I like the smooth firewall.

56myway · 10-27-2006, 10:55 PM

This is the day I brought the truck home......

56myway · 10-27-2006, 10:59 PM

hey 55ChevyPu, it looks like we have a few things in common here, gauges, smooth dash and firewall, I can't wait to see yours finished....

texascowboy593 · 10-28-2006, 01:17 AM

looks like good progress from day1 till now...

56myway · 10-28-2006, 08:18 AM

Thanks Texas, I have only really done work in the last year on it. The first 2 it just sat cause I had no time at all and had another hot rod that I was driving. Once I sold my Firebird, then I started on this one....

SideStepper · 10-28-2006, 10:22 AM

Hey 56myway, nice truck, but it looks like a 57 (grill & hood) rather than a 56 to me. Whats the story there?

56myway · 10-28-2006, 11:57 AM

The story on that one is, when i got the truck, I took the entire body off of the truck all the way down to the frame. i sold all of the body parts except for the hood, because I like the 57 hood rather than the 55-56 hood. I bought an entire new bed, used fenders front and back,doors and a nice 56 cab. So that is the story behind that.....

Welcome to the board!! Looks like you have made a lot of progress since when you first started! Keep up the good work and keep us all posted on your progress.

Igotachevyor2 · 10-28-2006, 09:10 PM

nice truck

56myway · 11-30-2006, 02:44 PM

Well the firewall is painted and the rest of the truck is just about ready for paint. The firewall is covered in dust, so there aren't any inperfections on it like the picture shows. Putting all new bushing on the camaroclip and waiting on a Camaro rear.

texascowboy593 · 11-30-2006, 02:55 PM
