'56 Custom Project
| Description: |
| This is a body that I rescued from a now closed wrecking yard in Seattle back in 1992. It was hit so hard in the passenger rear quarter that the car was rolled up on the driver side and the rain gutter was crushed. |

| First thing to do is fix the inside of the quarter. This was some sloppy work, but what do you expect from an 18 year old? |

I like the front fenders, I think they turned out quite well. The pan is a '69.

I think the place was called Alsop. It was in Everett not far off I-5.

| There is still some work to do on the back edge where the deck lid meets the fender. After that is cut and tacked in, I need to get a piece for the bottom of the quarter and rebuild the door jam. |
