    I am not digging it at all, sorry. Bad mix between bomb, rat rod and modern lowrider.
     
  3. Something wrong with the paint, its got 'stuff' in it!
     
  4. Is that clear and flake over bare metal? Yeah its a jumble but I kinda like it!

    when we took it to bare metal it was nice & its on the coast so we cleared & flaked it its a blend of styles yeah i know but in a coulpe years will make it a kustom just wanted to show nice the metal was befor we chopped up a nice car! be sides it good to draw outside of the lines some times?
     
  6. It is a (shock value) show case of work in progress. Enjoy, and have fun turning it into a custom.

    I kinda dig it. Its different. Bombs are way cool cars. You'll praobably start a fad with bombs. Arent they usually mostly stock with tons af accessories?

    the rules to bombs and lowriders is that they stay stock but i hate rules and the acessory are cheapyly made and dont fit well and the price of them you could build a hole new car! so hopefully bomb guys and kustom lovers will be able to enjoy it! its a dream, thanks for the kind words

    Then the HAMB would be a quiet place.

    The metal work isn't that great to showcase it. The rims are hokey and should have thin whites at the very least. But, it's yours, so do what you will.
     
  24. An interim car on the way from here to there is always fun.

    The bombs I've seen have excellent paint and bodywork, are quite low and as noted, lots of accessories.

    Some of the accessories I've seen are fairly expensive so it's not just a kid in a garage with a drill and screwdriver.

    Close to stock works with these cars.
    A bit of reasonable lowering, straight 6 power and a set of good sounding duals are key.

    Back in the day, the coupes made a terrific gasser and a few two doors showed up running serious engines.

    Have fun with the car and realize that the great majority of nay-sayers either don't have a car or couldn't build one to the point you have.

    Jealousy is a tough mistress....
