    This was before the repaint. An interesting individual to say the least.

    He bought the car out of Minnesota as in the form and color as the pic above. The article that appeared in Rod and Custom was wrong. The car was not orange, he had the motor painted which was orange. It was in a mechanic`s shop and some thing got on the paint and ruined it. The shop closed it`s doors. Saw the car at an event(Goodguys) and couldn`t see anything wrong with it. He got a free paint job and had the side scoops molded in and put 60 Pontiac(?) tail lights on the car. Was painted back to the blue. Sorry no pic`s as he displays the car with both doors open as well as the hood and the trunk.

    '58s look so good when they're done like that, simple and clean.

    Here's my VERY mild custom 53 Coronet. Some of you may remember this car for sale on the HAMB a couple years ago. Much more to do!

    The rear bumper looks like a one-piece 53-54 Chevy rear bumper, sans rear guards and crossbar. To compensate for the bottom of the rear quarter panel being extended downward, looks like there might be some cut down 53-54 Chevy rear bumper ends tucked under the full bumper. The skirts are handmade custom. Looks like to whole lower rear quarter/skirts were extended downward to visually lower the back of the car.
