Yeah, I do want to drive it--but it's not getting chopped. That's the whole reason I bought a coupe is 'cause that short roof doesn't really need a chop. IMHO
Here's mine. Chevy wheels, machined centers to fit push through bullets, center hub cap tabs removed and powdercoated black with Firestone whitelwalls.
Don't ever say that. Haha. Black wheels have always been classy. Red wheels are trendy and just plain gross.
Black powder coated 53 Chevy wheels on my 51. I like the way they look so much, I have been thinking about running the factory dog dish center caps instead of full caps or maybe no caps at all.
My son did mine with one can of $0.97 rattle can. Need to redo them a little better when we have time.
Here's mine from oz. <TABLE class=fieldset border=0 cellSpacing=1 cellPadding=0 width="100%"><TBODY><TR><TD>Current Attachments (499.6 KB)</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><TABLE class=fieldset border=0 cellSpacing=1 cellPadding=0 width="100%"><TBODY><TR><TD></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><LEGEND></LEGEND>
Everything on my roadster is black or white including the black & white interior so black wheels seemed like the only way to go. Lee
Nice '64 El Camino!!! Any more photos? I learned to drive on my Dad's '64 El Camino, he still has his and won't sell it to me. I hope to make a die cast of one in the next couple of years at work. Thanks, Sean P.S. Would you happen to have any extra rear rocker chrome, the chrome pieces behind the rear wheels?
my '53 chevy ...with '53 chevy stock 6 lug rims with hubcap clips removed, 7.50 and 6.50 Coker radial whites....yes needs to be even lower
Once more,great picture(year I was born).Dumb question from an ignorant englishman who wasn't around then,but I'm curious to know.Back in '64, how did YOU regard your '50, hot rod or kustom ? Paul
I thought of it as a hot rod. Slightly modified flathead, "three on the tree", dual exhaust with Smithy's, big and littles. Never really thought of it as a custom.
