Mike, any other photos of your 56 Pontiac ? What is the scoop on your 56, any information on your ride. Cheers. George

The car had been sitting in this garage since 1978.  I picked it up in January from an estate sale.  Very straight.   Once  I got it running and it didn't have 

any major mechanical issues, I decided to  redo it.  I will not say restore because I am not going that far.  Just making it a mechanically sound good looking ride.

Had to patch floors, brakes, cleaned up fuel system, new carpet, upholstered seats etc, but much more to do.  Once painted will decide its fate, sell or add to the fleet!IMG_20150126_132403.jpgIMG_20150126_132454.jpg

Looking good! Do like PPG over Dupont. She'll brighten right up once you get all the shiny stuff unmasked and on. Good choice going two tone, always liked two tone cars. Keep posting your progress. nod.gif

Well, finally out on the road for the first time since 1978.  It is quite a bit more orange than these pics show.  IMG_20150922_155046.jpgIMG_20150922_155701.jpgIMG_20150922_155634.jpg

Looks good especially after that long of a rest. I like the white roof, sets it off.
