Default Just picked up a 56 oval!

Haven't been on here in quite some time...however, I just picked up a 56 Oval! Super excited. Just have to do some finishing touches and it will be a nice driver. It's not perfect....but I wanted a daily driver.

Definitely have to raise it up some....way too low for me. Drags the ground on the smallest bumps.

Thumbs up

As they say "way cool".
I notice you don't have a location listed - is this so we don't stop by for a ride? Just kidding, it really is nice to see an oval that will be a driver.

Are you gonna leave the pea shooter apron or take it back to the original?

that is one hot oval. The cool thing of it all, other than it being a bug, is that it will be your daily driver. Just hold on to it, whatever you do- that's a keeper for sure.

That is the original I believe...unless I'm wrong?? I think it depends on when the car was built in 56 as to if they had the 1 pipe or 2...
