The 56 BelAir

[zippy1]

I happened to get a partial picture of the 56 in one of my post a few weeks ago, and have had a couple PM's wanting to see pictures of it, and to know a little more about it. Well okay, here it is.
It’s a 1956 BelAir hardtop with a GM crate 350, and a 700R4 trans, 3.50 gears with posi. Headers with 2 1/2" exhaust and Flowmaster mufflers. It’s upgraded with power steering and brakes.
The original colors were black and white, but the PO changed them to factory colors of Matador Red and India Ivory.
It only has a little over 800 miles sense frame off build was completed in 2012. Most of the stainless and chrome were saved, but some was replaced. The PO installed new glass except for the windshield. The interior was all replaced with aftermarket seat covers and door panels, as well as headliner.
He installed new floors all the way through the car, from front to back, as well as some sheet metal. He did a real good job building it, didn't cheap out or cut corners, it's by no means a "show" car, but a very respectable driver, and that's what we were looking for.
I added the hand controls, steering wheel and exhaust tips so far. Still to get are wheels and tires, soon as we make up our minds what we want, and heater with vintage air. I want a “throwback” looking car, something that would have been built back in the day.
