    I love it! I wonder what this setup would look like as a continental kit? Also, I plan to add an Aztec Gold roof to mine. [​IMG]

    Thanks. Good job on the kit. I don't think I'll go that route. Shows the power of this tool. Could you you add the gold roof to the previous version add skirts and these 57 Buick wheel covers? Thanks![​IMG]

    OK, I'll say it, and quite surprised no one else has, but I really like the back seat "covers" on that blue Plymouth convert:D

    GM Golden Rocket concept car restyled along the lines of the car that Harley Earl saw at the 1954 Turin Auto Show that actually inspired it to begin with -- the Bertone Berlinetta Aerodynamic Technica prototype.

    Could you "paint" this coupe the color of the headlight buckets, keeping the white firewall and putting some chrome smoothies and a louvered hood ( top only) on? Here's some "parts" to play with.
    Thanks!

    One thing I've noticed over the years is that the mid '50s Mopars didn't seem to get much attention as hot rods or Kustoms. There is a '55 Belvedere on the local craigslist thats been there awhile. I wondered what it might look like with a little hot rod photoshopping and it seems to work rather well.
    Found the first photo on the 'net; its even the same color as the one on craiglist. 55 Plymouth Belvedere.jpg
    After a little attention the possibilities seem to be there. Imagine a 392 hemi with dual quads, a nasty solid lifter cam that rattles your fillings, a 4 speed and narrowed Dana 60 with 4.56s stuffed in it. :eek::D

    Would it be possible to change the body color to this lighter Blue and add scallops like this in the dark blue? Thanks again. [​IMG]

    Thanks so much. Would it be possible to outline the dark-blue scallops in gold?

    Perfect. How about a front view with that blue/gold, these scallops and a Plymouth grill?

    Here's my take: 1950 Pontiac grille in front and 1954 Mercury taillights.

    Sorry that photo is a bit rough, but here´s what you could end up with if you want the proportions of the earlier 'bird. A lot of work though - moved the front wheels forwards, shortened the wheelbase and then shortened the tail too, then you can start remaking the roof.

  27. Here's one I'd like to see... (apologies, I stole the pic off the 'Kustoms' thread)

    custom.jpg

    Can somebody 'lower' the roof? Not chop it, but drop the entire greenhouse down on the body by about 2", the amount of the vertical dogleg coming off the vent window line. AND 'pancake' the roof, removing the 'crown', making the roof extend back level from the windshield header. This will require recontouring the hood too....

    I figure this will effectively lower the top by about 3 1/2" overall.

    Hmm... My first ever post on here was "disappeared" by an Admin as if it never existed...

    Are there any guidelines I should be aware of before posting on this thread? I feel like I probably committed some sort of JalopyJournal faux pas, but I don't have any sort of PM from an Admin so I'm not sure what it was....


    Thanks,
    Adam

    Adam I think your post was a 79? Corvette and we here are 64 and older cars. Sorry but you need a different forum or just do not mention your car and enjoy this great sight! Gary
