• 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*
