[m260gt]

Here is my dads 1956 Chevy Bel air. he bought it from his dad when he was 16. it needs some restoration but still looks pretty sweet. cant wait for it to be restored and bring it to local shows. It has a 68' corvette 350 in it. full duel exhaust.

btw..these pics are from when i was fat. lol. ive lost 50 lbs since these so thats not what i look like.

had a 57 bel air coupe myself back in the day with the original nasty maroon... kept it all stock with the am radio only and wouldnt have it any other way.... these are great cars that will get you turning a lot of heads..... imo i feel they always look better with dark colors sicne the interiors were always dark....... looks like it was stored away for quite some time since she seems like she is in good shape on the exterior as well as the interior.......

really didnt see too much rust on the beast and that would be a hell of a project :) i work on vehicles doing restoration work and love it, not the biggers fan of body work but can do it without troubles.... my cup of tea is painting vehicles and dong airbrushing

that car is going to be a head turner when u get it restored..it doesnt look bad for that year of car...........

Thats a great nice vehicle m8.
U dont see these cars arround here.
Also in the usa they are rare i think.
I also think it looks kinda good for hes age.
A project like this interests me also.
But i dont have any place to stock a car.
Good luck on the project.
Grtz

hahahahahaha word and painting jsut takes time to get technique and the hardest part is keeping your wrist completely locked so the paint goes on evenly. and of course the 50%-50% overlap of yur strokes.
