So i have this 55 Commander that will some kustomtreatment during the winter. Have a modified and badly kustomized 53-54 frontend. Got rear fenders with bigger wheelopenings. Also got a couple of 1956 golden hawk fibergl*** fins that will be modified aswell. Thinking about light quanted headlights. Fins will be modified with 1960 caddy taillights. Here is some of my plans
I love it! The '60 Caddy tail lights will look great. Please do a build thread, and let us know as you progress.
it survived until recently when the car sold on Craigslist, then a few weeks later the front clip was advertised by the new owner because he was going to restore the car back to stock.... what a shame
Here's a couple Stude-a-ma-Baker trucks with the quad treatment... Hmmm... I could do this to mine...
I don't remember if ever saw an image of this kustom named "The Chinaman" completed or if it ever was but they sure had a good start on it. Would've been a good looking car.
Way back around 1970, there was a root beer brown metallic '55 Nomad running around my native Athens, Ohio, with vertical quads and no other mods whatsoever. This car had some 5 3/4 inchers mounted below the original 7" lamps. It was awesome to our 10 year old brains, as there was a Hot Wheels Nomad that had a similar headlight treatment at the time, and was always a topic of discussion when seen. "Hey, I saw the Nomad today, up on Second Street...."
Apparently growing my beard out isn't taking up enough of all this spare time I have on my hands these days... coupled with
Very cool. I see you have the original buckets to work with. I need a pair of 58 Lincoln buckets to do the same.
O.K., so... after being inspired by this sight, I used some of the extra time I have... I am almost half way done with giving my truck bi-focals;
Another productive day... Still have to finish grind the welds and re-wire the lights, but I'm gettin' there!
