Diognes56's 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air

 

This page is for my 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air 4-door Sedan aka "The Pariah". The above pictures are renderings I did in Photoshop, partially to test some ideas and color combinations but mostly for use as my sig on message boards (top). I need to update it. 

The Pariah is in the process of being repaired and updated. The previous owner didn't do anything properly, so there is more work to be done than if he had just left it alone, but that is how it goes. Unfortunately, it has been quite some time since I have been able to work on it, but things are finally starting to move forward :) .

In my mind the car will end up as a Touring Sedan. Fun in it's own right, but not a true (IMO) Pro-Touring car. Think more CTS-V and less C6 Z06.

If you like Tri-Fives, definitely check out
Chevy Talk and TriFive, there is an incredible wealth of information and great people there :) .

Sweet ride! 5 stars. If your interested in a custom drawing of your car or maybe just a print of another, please check out my site at www.SketchesByChrisM.com One would look great next to your ride at a car show or just to display on your wall at your home, garage or shop. Thanks -Chris (SBC)
