First off welcome to the club and these forums, The members seem to be very friendly and real helpful.
I'm a fairly new member myself and also have a 56 88 2drhdtp in my stable. My first old car and also the only one I wll never sell. Quite a few others have been sold since.
Fell in love with mine just like you. They have tons of power and some really nice styling. Let the masses have a 56 belair. Olds put that rocket on the fenders for a reason. One of the best kept secrets in the hot rod and old car world I think.
If there's anything I can help with just let me know.
Meanwhile welcome aboard, Randy
