Another 56 design!

Hi guys, while the 53 is being taken care of by the Auto Electrician I had some spare time to do some dreaming in building a 56 again. The colour will be hot hues Tango and Alibaster. A Heidt's Superide II front end, 9" rear with a 4-link kit for suspension. 351W engine with a C6 transmission, set of 18X8 Billet Specialties sandblasted and painted a matte silver, along with the bumpers and grille. Isn't funny how ideas come into your mind when you have already nearly finished ones build. So what do you think?

That could work if you're into New Trucks.

Aussie 53,
Could you do one in blue with gray stripes down the front like the Shelby Mustang, that is what I'm thinking of doing. I saw a black one on ebay but the stripes were to far apart and it didn't look to good and made me doubt doing it.
Thanks in advance.

I like it! I think I would be inclined to paint the bumper and grille Alibaster instead of gray/silver.

I am considering the same two-tone scheme for my '54 with a tan on the bottom and burgundy red above.
