Off the Bench - 1956 Chrysler 300B Street Machine
Very nice. Very cool car. You did an awesome job. *NM*
That's really nice! *NM*
I live in Albany...didn't even now about this. *NM*
It was posted on SABA FB page and I believe LAMA as well. Sorry you missed it. *NM*
EXCELLANT *NM*
Gerry, thats very nice, I could happily live with it, especially like the colour & wheel choice, engine suits it perfectly. *NM*
Gerry, just looking & admiring your build again & saw one thing I'd change....& its something thats caught me out a few times too.......that kit 6volt battery will need at least a 2nd one in the trunk to start the Hellcat engine...lol..nah looks fine...lol.. *NM*
The research I did stated that the 56 300-B actually was the transistion point to 12 volt...
6V batteries have 3 cells, 3 caps. 12V have 6 cells/caps. Anything with a modern engine and electronics will be running 12V. *NM*
Thanks Bill. I think I'll pop it out and put a modern battery in its place. *NM*
Gerry...that looks terrific. Very impressed with your attention to detail and the color choice works surprisingly well. "Ya done good, man!". BTW I believe I recall reading somewhere that the early Chrysler 300 letter cars did not come with rearview mirrors...possibly...
Just seemed odd. My research found that side view mirrors were optional (even driver side). Driver side view mirrors were not Federally mandated until 1968 (wow). *NM*
Took even longer to get them on both sides. My mom bought a new Dodge Neon in 1995, it didn't have a right side mirror *NM*
WOW!! *NM*
Good build! Your sleekening of the trim was just right. *NM*
Nice work Gerry. *NM*
