1958 Chevy Look. Poll

I just bought a '58 Chevy Del Ray. It needs mechanical and body work, so I'm going to change the look.

I'm curious to see what the flames would look like with louvers on the hood, so if someone wants to photoshop them, that would be great.

The photoshops were done by DRuss32. Thanks Dave!

If you have ideas that are not in the poll, photoshop them and post them.

So, let me know your opinion, please

 

man those wheels are disgusting. I like the orange flames

 

HaHa! Yes they WERE! I bought it like that. I put 14" stock ones on for now, and just made a deal with a HAMBer for 15" Fenton slots.

 

#2 or #4

 

Lowered with astros is my vote. If you are doing paint anyway, I think cars look good in any color as long as it is black.

Buddy, you sure do have a lot of fun projects to keep you busy.

 

Don't you mean broke?

 

I would suggest "other".......

hotrod32, I just couldn't do it! I know those designs are popular with many, but not me!

 

the 58s look best with watson style scallops, , , ,my favorite is one built by andy southard, black with light blue metalic scallops, , ,don't have a pic handy, but i'm sure someone here could dig one up,,in mmy opinion, flames just don't work on these cars (in MOST cases), , ,

 

I am gonna go with other as well this one is my all time favorite but these are horrible pictures car was featured in Rodders Journal just beautiful! these pics **** but if someone has better you will know what I mean!

 

I've always been a fan of darker blues.

 

It really needs some impala trim.

 

Dude - I'm trying to eat my lunch, and then had to look at THIS!? Raaallllppphhhh...........

 

Hmm, I really like the flames, but they don't seem to be a very popular choice on this car!

I really like this look also. Luckily, I still have some spare trim from the Impala build! That's dad airing up the tires.

 

DON'T put the trim on it, bring it down and we will watson that thing out. crazy layout and a lil lowering and one noteworhty ride you will have.

 

then you most certainly are on the wrong board, cause i threw up in my mouth when i saw your wheels!

 

I don't like flames on this body style...it kills the lines of the car in my opinion. It needs scallops and supremes!

 

Jeff, I can't afford a Waton style paint job! Gotta save the $'s for the '38. This one's getting painted in the garage, by some goof(me)

I was just debating which rims, his or the ones that were on this car made me the dizziest!

 

Ok, so the flames aren't popular. I still like em, though.

What about louvers? Sure looked good on the Caddy.

 

I am not qualified to comment really, but I would be happy with one of these in any color.
The wheels are a definite improvement and flames can get kinder tiring after a while. Traditional with tasteful chrome would be my view of it.
Hard to improve on perfection!

 

another favorite , , mox miller's 58. . . . .

Holy ****!

Umm, did I mention this is a low budget, garage paint job? If I attempted that, even the rat rodders would laugh!

 

this would be my vote but i didnt see this as an option

 

Well , if you can paint good enough to do a complete paint job yourself in your garage, you sure as hell can mask and spray scallops, and it won`t cost an arm and leg either. I vote for the scallops on the DelRay.

 

FLATTIE...sorry but not enough options for me, but i do like 58 chevy's as i had 1 myself. and i personaly don't like flames on most rods or customs. man it's your ride, so just please yourself. you know?...POP.

 

I'd lower and leave her myself. I think the lines themselves are too nice to mess with flames or scallops. Good luck the 58 is definately on my wish list.

 

YEAH Man,Like this!

Nick.

 

Haha! I NEVER said I was good enough, but I'm going to try it. I've painted some Harley tanks, but I've never tried a car.

But what the hell? It's not a show car, and I can always sand it off, right?

 

Uh, that IS a Watson paint job!
