My new winter project !

[fordracer666]

Well here's my new winter project (warning its not a ford!!) hey guys I built a Harley sportster last winter custom paint and all kinds of stuff . Prob had like $4g into the bike total. I had the bike on Craigslist for trade for a hot rod or rat rod and this guy contacted me like 2 months ago. Well we were both busy and couldn't find a time to get together seeing he was like 3 1/2 hrs away and we were both busy with work. Well we finally got together and we did a even trade .
The car is a 1956 Pontiac chieftan with a built chevy 350 4 bolt main .
With a big cam and it has twin edelbrock 4 bbls it runs good needs some interior work . It exactly what I'm looking for I'm going for the rat rod look with a solid drivetrain. What do you guys think?

Looks like a fun project

 

[Wingspan]

Very cool! I'd make the interior comfy, the power train reliable, then just drive the shit out of it.

 

[Mr. WHO]

Thanks for the compliments guys . I was crawling up and down the car today.
Man I love how simple everything is . The engine has like 2 wires on it to make it run. I'm going to do a wire tuck under the hood . I need to do some brake work and some stuff here and there . But mainly just need to attack the interior.
It has a new dual exhaust with flowmaster mufflers . It sounds pretty sick !
Can't wait to drive it next year. I removed the the middle bumper on the rear of the car today. I will keep your guys updated.

I like it, can't wait to see what you do. Tons of potential there.

Turbo it?

Hey guys someone please tell me I'm nuts .
I was throwing around the idea of throwing a single turbo on this bad boy!
They already have the manifolds that will work perfect.

I think a 1956 Pontiac with a single turbo intercooled 350 would
Be pretty fun to drive around in during the summer.

What do you guys think?

It's screaming to have that roof chopped down about 6"

 

[Mike K]

As cool as it would be to turbo it I would just drive it as is. Its reliable and I'm sure the ride is comfy as hell.
