1956 ragtop project

Well, I Traded my 59 euro rag for a 56 rag, a lot more solid project than the 59, all of the rust is just surface rust, thought i'd throw up a few pics... the roof has been cut for a rag and a PO did a crappy job putting in the clip, they also cut the pillars for semis, but realized there was more to it than just cutting a square!

they installed the clip underneath the roof and screwed it in

this will be a slow project, but I will keep it updated as I progress
more pics...

I believe you picked the car up in NC. I just missed buying it in Conyers, GA. The guy from Carolina beat me to it. Good luck with it.
It really does look pretty solid. Keep everyone posted on your progress.

actually i got it from white, GA, i think the guy from carolina sold it pretty quick cuz this guy has had it for a while,we had been toying with trading for a while, we both had a little extra time and decided why not? its been passed around for a while, everyone is scared of the roof i guess, but i plan on holding on to it.

i looked at in white its like 5 mins from my house good luck man it was missing everything when i saw it

yea thats the only problem is that is just a shell, but its a better project than what i had, i hated for it to be cut up but honestly thats all it was good for (poor euro, R.I.P), but since its slow project, im just gunna piddle with it, im not in a hurry, so i can collect parts along the way....

o, btw i have enjoyed a few rides in baxter (not sure if brian will keep the name) last time i talked to him he was talking to another member bout having the rear 1/4 panels fixed, dont worry bout baxter(?), he is in good hands...

i didnt use the name either thats garys thing

good find... like the ragtop you gonna keep the rag and unhack it? This will be one nice bug

yea i'll put it back in, but the right way and i'll weld up the semi hole aswell

Hey Michael,

Looks like you have quite a project to work on. Good luck. I'd better not find any parts missing off my car!!!
