Customs Progress is a beautiful thing - 53 Olds 4 to 2 door conversion PAINT and Chrome

Wow..just Wow..Great Job

 

It's really amazing, considering what you started with. What do you suppose the percentage would be, of the uninitiated, who walk by the car and think it's just a restored stocker ?!?

 

Great cars have great stories...saw it DoD. A tip of the hat to you.

 

the proportions are spot on in my opinion...beautiful job,,

 

My heart did a stutter-step when the picture of it finished out came up. You know a car is "right" when you say that. Great job man, just awesome-

 

Thanks guys I really appreciate the comments. I know how hard sometimes HAMBers can be on novices, so displaying what I have done can be a bit intimidating.

My main concern throughout were the proportions, i feel that a car with great proportions always looks cl***ic. Because this was a 4 door, alot of work went in to it just to get it to look right.

Still got alot of work to do though, but its a driver and will get driven.

 

your proportions are spot on (to my eyes). Beautiful and cl***ic look! Now why couldn't they look like that from the factory? I guess it would have saved you 9 years of working and thinking!!!! great job I hope someday to have the balls to chop a car

Man, this is the best home-grown custom I have seen in a long, long time; and the odds
of pulling it off were loooooong. But, you certainly succeeded. And the color is beautious

 

How is the hard top holding up? Leaks? I wouldn't mind doing my '54 as a hard top.

 

nice job

 

VERY nice, you took on a big job and it came out great. Now, for your next one???

 

Man that's a great looking car.... Great job!!

What I am working on now - 1936 Ford Truck

Since this will belong to my wife, i have been trying to convince her about a very conservative chop. I think the top on these is a bit high, functional yes back in the 30's when they were farm trucks, but i am looking at form more than anything. Maybe 2 inches, it may not seem worth all that trouble, but in the end, i think it will sit just right.

A chop something along the lines of geemann51's truck, his 37 Ford just looks right.

 

Excellent job!!!!!! I'm in envy. Keep the Pics coming.

Thanks,

Great job. Car looks great.

 

That roofline is spot on.
Looks great.

 

Wow, Looks Great! Have fun with it.

 

Thanks for posting. You did a great job, it doesn't look like it was ever a four door. Let us know the progress on the 36'.

 

nice
