Features Canted and Quadheadlight kustoms.

Discussion in 'Traditional Customs' started by Norrland, Dec 25, 2019.

  1. 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 FB_IMG_1577191054754.jpg FB_IMG_1577191015648.jpg

    I love it! The '60 Caddy tail lights will look great.

    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

    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...."

    Very cool. I see you have the original buckets to work with. I need a pair of 58 Lincoln buckets to do the same. 20200325_181725 (2).jpg 20200325_182105 (2).jpg

    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;
