Title: Bolt The 56 Rag Top Post by: santacruzxxx on April 03, 2020, 11:26:50 am Picked up a new project a couple of months back. It's a 56 Rag imported from Misourri in the US. My daughter has named him Bolt!
Body has been dipped and E Primed and is super solid for a 60 year old car. Heater channels, 1/4 panels, doors, etc all super solid. RHD dash has been installed at some point and done to a high standard. Needs little bits of welding here and there and 2 new floor pan halves.

Title: Re: Bolt The 56 Rag Top Post by: santacruzxxx on April 03, 2020, 11:34:03 am Picked up an IRS rear end and fabbed some alignment tools for the IRS brackets to be installed on the floorpan.

What’s your plans for it? Title: Re: Bolt The 56 Rag Top Post by: santacruzxxx on April 03, 2020, 22:57:01 pm Thanks and yes it was on Ebay Sept/Oct last year. Had to wait a while before I picked it up as the NOVA registration hadn't been completed.
Plan is for a full nut and bolt resto, IRS rear end, Lowered, rims, built engine/gearbox and then drive! Title: Re: Bolt The 56 Rag Top Post by: santacruzxxx on April 07, 2020, 13:14:13 pm Rear of heater channel had been caved in (probable used as a jacking point!). Drilled out the welds, straightened the panel, rust proofed and welded back in.
