took a break from the fuax poser gassers today

took a break from the faux poser g***ers today, & finally got around to lowering my friend's 56 olds. she loves it, what do you think?

 

Are the skirts white on purpose?

 

they're just not painted yet. i kinda like them white, but she's doing the skirts & the roof blue.

 

You look at cars today and find it hard to imagine that America once made cars that beautiful !!!

 

wouldn't a "faux poser" be the real thing?

Nice work on the Olds! I'm curious to see how it will look with a blue top too.

 

haha guess i meant "faux/poser". it's gonna look pretty sweet, these phone pics do it no justice. it's a real bright metallic blue. the more of it to look at the better.

 

That should look pretty good

 

wait...she?...M***.?....THAT CAR???....something dont jive!

 

I just watched "Catch me if you can" and there is a very similar car parked on the street in the begining right after they move into the apartment in the city.

 

the olds stopped by the shop again today for a *****in shift knob install

 

The stance looks great! To my eye, paint the skirts and she's done. I strongly disagree with painting the top. Maybe someone could do a photoshop for her.

 

Does it still have the 324 in it with the hydro?

 

Yes!

 

Needs a straight axle.....

 

it's such a great color blue. the more of it to look at, the better.

sure does, she just had the hydro rebuilt 2 weeks ago & the motor runs great!

no! haha

 

should be at the alter boys show...

 

Most excellent example of the breed. I agree with whoever posted above about beautiful cars. Real automotive beauty is a thing of the past so we had better preserve ones like this to act as a reminder of better styling times.

You have any more info on that color?

 

another one i banged out today.

original flathead power. new clutch this weekend.

3" blocks out back, cut a coil outta the front. lower control arm get's into the frame pretty good so i'm gonna "clearance" that before milltown.

 

good looking rides

 

thanks man. doin our best to keep it real up here. come to milltown!

 

she mentioned it was a 90s chrysler color, next time i see her i'll ask for you.

 

How much did you lower it? The stance looks good.

 

hell the (skirts) worked for Burt

 

did you make spacers for the lower contol arms?? might not hafta clearence it!! pm if ya need a heads up on this, its an easy one! dave

 

damn i wish the dash and everything on my '56 looked that nice...and the bumpers for that matter... ONE DAY.

 

And yet another one with white skirts. Is this a new trend in M***?
How come I didn't get the memo.

 

It sits sweet.

 

yeah man, everyone's doin it. simple fact is the paint on this car has seen better days, parts store spray bomb didn't match worth ****, so the badly faded/flakey visor & new skirts got sprayed a less offensive white to go with the white scallops this car's getting. needs a few patch panels (rockers mostly) so a real paint job is at least a year out.

 

i here you man i need a road trip a.s.a.p .. still waiting on the new damn clutch pedal set up i orderd a week ago so i can drive this car already....ill make it there one day...
