Projects 1953 Chevy 4 door low budget build.

copper/black looks great!

 

I think I'm in love.

 

Bodywork doesn't need to be flawless every time. Just do the best you can and when this paint job wears off, you can have another go at it. Looks good so far.

 

I'm really liking how it looks

A little more work over the weekend.
Painted the back bumper , replaced the brake light lenses and installed the gas door trim. I couldn't wait to get that price mounted. Also cleaned up the glass of the overspray.

 

Paintspill that looks great! I notice that in the pic of the whole car if you had moved the OT van and the plastic trash cans that pic could have been right out of the late 50s early 60s -right down to the neighbor kids pedal car

 

Just scored this beauty today.

 

Nice. What's it off of?

haha. In Alberta myself

 

Just a better shot of the ass end. That's all

 

Nice work. I really love watching threads like this where guys, not having done body work before, just jump in and have a go.
The inspiration it provides to other car guys is awesome!!
Have you thought about how it would look with the bumpers painted in the Copper colour that's on the roof?

 

thanks, thats what inspires me too. i haven't thought about the bumpers in copper. but i am toying with the idea of doing the rims in the same copper.

 

Love the work you are doing! Keep it up!

 

Nice!! We're (maybe) neighbours! I have a '53 as well, and I'm in the Hamilton area. Without blowing your cover, are you nearby?

Paintspill, I really am enjoying your build. Need to post some more for your entertainment, as well as mine! Hope to have one myself some day.

 

Wasn't feeling the rims and spinners.

 

So cool to see a more door family build! I've been away from my project for a while, but reading this thread has given me some new found motivation. I, as well, have zero experience! Bought my '53 Chevy as a family project 3 years ago and learned how to weld, do some body work, wiring, and hope to paint it myself. As you can see, I've gotten rid of a few stock parts off mine, so PM me if you are in need of some parts as I am a short drive from T.O.

Here's what I have so far.

 

She's awesome. Did you weld in the grill yourself. I'm thinking of doing that.

 

The rear end of that four door looks super cool with the exhaust like that? Is it stock caddy too?

Thanks! Yes it is......'56 Caddy quarters and bumper. Had to take almost 6" out of the bumper to make it fit!

 

NOT HOW THE CAR LOOKS. just playing on the computer while she is covered up in the sub zero temperatures. but i really like this rendering.

 

That is a very cool car, cant wait to see how it turns out. Thanks for the great thread.
