I just got my 56 Panel out of the Paint Shop. It has not been on road for years. I installed a Chrysler clip, Chev 350, 350 turbo and a 9 Inch rear. Picture in my album. Frank

 

Looks like a nice panel, what colour did you paint it?

 

The color is Chrysler Cool Vanilla. I was going to paint it PPG Vanilla shake but the cost was MUCH more. Frank

 

Can you post a picture of it in paint, I don't see the finished product in your gallery. I guess your avitar is it coming home from the paint shop.

 

56panelford: I have tried to post to my Gallery without success. I keep getting the little blank box when I do the browse download. I did update my album with pictures of my panel that you should be able to access. I just got the panel back from my friends paint shop and have not had time to start the reassembly. Check out the Album. Frank

 

Just bumping this for fun

 

I have 2 currently a 1956 and a 1953 but will be getting another very soon with details to follow!

 

Did you ever make any of the rubber bumpers Chuck? I know someone who is in need of them.

 

Got any pics of these bumpers???

 

Count this 51 F1 in on your count.



351C getting it done

 

Apparently not anymore, I've been looking.

 

New here. 56panelford turned me onto this thread.
I have a 1955 panel got it in 1980 or so, I guess you can say I saved it from the scrapper. Over the years I have managed to get 98% of the parts. Should be 99% after my last acquisition finalizes. The remaining part is the driver side rear door latching mechanisms.
The panel is in the fittting process awaiting bodywork to begin, just electrical penetrations and hood alignment and tear down for bodywork. I am actually pretty excited to get this stage started because it feels like there is a light at the end of this loooong tunnel.
A few additions to this panel is a dodge aspen front end, an independent rear end out of a 96 Lincoln Mark VIII, flat firewall, vintage air. Powered by a 64 327 SBC and a 700r-4 trans. I have done al the work so far and will continue, but I am seriously thinking about farming the interior out, my sewing skills are very questionable, so pictures of interiors much appreciated, thinking nothing fancy plain and simple. Paint will be two tone, color to be decided according to my bodywork skill, first lower colors and I may be off on description is dark blue base with candy black shot over that, upper pearled cream white. These are my thoughts everything is subject to change up to the final day.

 

Registered as a '51 F1, but the hood looks a '52. This is on the restore list for next year.

 

Very nice condition Brent, your 38 Deluxe coupe sounds interesting too.

 

John: Great Looking Panel. I continue to work on mine. My job time demands and work space have slowed my progress. Here is an update.
