Looks like a great father son project. My boy is 10 and always wants to help with the Ultra Z.

my son HATES my Ultra-Z!! Prob because ut took up a lot of time we should have been working on the 56. I only have about 4-5 grand budgeted so far the 56. Looks like 2500 for all the sheetmetal i need to replace. The upgraded suspension / brakes is gonna be a big chunk, so it is more than likley going to be a resto-mod/hot rod on the cheap.. LOL

got body on homemade body cart. May need to add 2 more casters to the rear, it is a little heavier back there than i thought.. anyway I can now move it around pretty easy and now I can get the Camaro out for the time being!!

Awesome man! Cool project! I want to get an old car for a project. I have the itch for a '40 Mercury to chop the roof and tuck the tires. If I ever find one, I don't know that I'd be able to pass it up

Well the project is being scrapped. It is too far gone and i am having issues with work over time off needed for my surgeries and with the insurance. I am going to part out whatever is good. There is always another car.

Dang man I'm sorry to hear that. Its understandable though. Know where a early to mid 50s caddy is if you want me to check into it. Looks solid.

Yeah, it sux. The issues with work are just the icing on the cake. The 56 has got way less useable parts the further we dig in. My son is cool with it. He said today he would rather save some money for now and look for maybe a truck later. He thinks he would like to a mini truck lowrider with maybe a ltx swap since we have another lt1 sitting around. Or We may just work together on the camaro. We have a few ideas for making it faster and better looking. Dunno right now, going to be an interesting next month and a half.
