Hey just wanted to post some pics of my shoebox as it progresses into a sweet custom.I recently bought this car from a member of the board and since have detailed it, painted the wheels black and lowered the front(thanks to the tech section ).Currently right now I'm painting the hood white(lovered) , the interior limetime green ,clean up the flatty,and working on fuel and wiring problems(shorts) .The future holds airbags,12V ,and somestriping. Enjoy and thanks HAMB
Thanks guys for the positive comments,I forgot still gotta get the dents in the roof removed from the f *%@#ing shipper ...looking foward to driving my 51 everywhere and meeting some fellow HAMBers.
I cut a coil and a half off,It already had the lower control arm trick done thats why I didn't do the full 2 coils.The only reson I did this is because I got airbags, believe it or not it handles a little better and deffinently looks cooler. Thank's again guys!
Dude, I saw you crusing around in this the other day. I was the kid sitting in the back of my friends 97 Firebird Formula with the loud exhaust and the top down. Last Monday or Wednesday I can't remember. When it was still warm! That thing looked nice and sounded good too. I have a 53 Dodge. See you around.
WOW HOLY SHIT...so thats all thats needed for a nice paint job is to detail the car, damnit why didn't any tell me...off to the garage to start detailing and hopefully in a few hours i'll have nice shiny paint LOL!!! but seriously nice car man, you gonna chop it in the future
If anyone has 4 bar pics or airride pic(under car) for a shoe box would be much apreciated(sp)! Thanks again.
kingsize... here are some pics of a ride slamchop has been putting together... im sure he has more pics...
Very Kool!!!!! You are going about it the right way, little bit of detail, lower it and drive it. Good luck finishing the project. Happy Trails, Mick
Isn't that more of a ladder bar set-up? One part not doing his job right and one part not givin a F*#@ about other peoples shit ....I suposed he lifted it too high on the rack hittin the top brace for the cover on the trailer(transporter) I kinda feel sorry for the 07 Shelby that was uder neither my car...my car was leaking brake fluid on it the whole trip I got a maching set of these with sum tital waves in the center Btw Dan,when do I get a ride in the new toy? AWESOME,talk about motavation...now if I could only get a front pic like that! Unbelievable Thats the big debate,I took the hood off and took these pics and fell in love.Either way the hood has 144 lovers,when I splash the HOC Limetime green on the flatty is shouldn't be too hard too see it! Thanks man,I'm glad everybodys lovin it!
Hey KNGSZE lookin' good. You should have been at Forrest Park last Sunday. Hope to see ya cruisin around this summer.
As soon as it warms up... I planned on taking it down to the easter show, but I pussed out w/ the weather. Might have to organize a STL Hamb meet sometime soon if it warms up. Oh, and "Chevy Gasser" I seen the 55 down at Forest Park sunday and I was blown away by it. The condition is amazing... At first look I was thinking wow... this guy really nailed it on building a 60-70's gasser, then after further inspection I realized it was all original! I took a ton of pics of it... I didnt know you were on the Hamb.
Yep Chevy Gasser your 55 Got me wanting my coupe in the "nosebleed section" although not that high. Killer Car love the U joint holes too.I was a couple cars away in my Coupe.
