Projects The Black Cavendish

Looking awesome!!

 

Great photos! The extension looks good.
Mad fitment skills.. And AFTER gapping the hood! You ain't scared.

 

I agree. Kind of backwards. Lol.
Luckily the gap still looks good.

 

This is what true customizing is all about. I dig it.
You are a man after my own heart Eric. In the process of spliting the rear fenders on my custom and taking out 1-1/2 inches in width. Got to do what looks right.

Thanks Torchie.

 

Thanks.

 

Fantastic skills

 

I got my 54 Merc bezels installed and it really changed the look.

 

Nice!
You fixed the "valley" with sheetmetal.Good to see that done properly,not a cement mixer load of bondo.

 

Looks awesome!

 

Lookin good, i see youre licence plate is from ontario, hopefully can see your car in person at a show this year.

 

Mmmm...Scoop, lights.... '54 wheel lips next?

 

might look nice.

 

Thanks!

 

Possibly, I'm in Lasalle down by the Detroit river.

 

They sure look nice on John Kouw's sectioned 'vert!



But, Hey! How about rear quarters, too!
(Then call it "CLASS! of '54". )

 

I've always wondered what one of those scoops would look like on a shoebox. Looks badass. Thought about doing something similar on my 50 Chevy...

 

I don't usually like sectioned shoeboxes but that one is sweeet. Nailed the proportions.

 

I'm almost done with the front end.

 

Nice. More toned-down than the stock '54 scoop, so it doesn't interrupt the flow of the hood. Great work.

 

I think Ive said this before, but a Kaiser front plate over rider would look perfect with the grill and scoop

 

I got a few more things done today.

 

You just 'breeze right thru', Eric. Like a freight train...

 

Eric. What width are your white walls? 3 inch or 3.25?
Thanks
Torchie

 

I'm not sure. They are an old set that I bought used. I have a new set of Firestone 3.25 to go on after paint.

 

Thanks for the reply Eric. Love everything about this build and I really like the Maroon paint that you will be using.
