hahaha i know huh! Naw, its getting some shiny paint..a different color, and some flakeage!! Ive got a spot in the Suede Palace at GNRS in January..so we got some kicking ass to do!!
hahaha! no Kandy.. but its a badass metallic base... cool color too... top secret though! Hoping to have paint, glass back in..and my seats redone... my buddy "SoCalchevy54" has a spot next to me... so were busting to get both of our turds done!
getting ready to prep the dash for paint while the glass is out.. have to replace my flaked steering wheel with some kind of classy steering wheel.. then im going to jump on the body work.. busy busy.....
Well heck, I bought 10 acres and a vineyard so the '49 been slow in progression this past year. I am fine tuning the body panels and getting her ready for paint. Hope to have her in Autorama in Sacto this coming Feb. Fingers crossed. keep the chop pics coming. Cheers. .
right on! i cant wait to see it.. im hoping to have mine done for the Suede Palace at GNRS.. me and my buddy got a spot inside... ive got my fingers crossed for both of us buddy!
thanks! but it will probably be so subtle NOBODY will even notice haha! I wanted to do some custom tail lights.. but at this point.. everything has been done and expected on this type of custom.... and for that reason, i decided to keep my ugly originals!
I like your idea BL... I just picked up a 51 sport coupe tonight and I'm thinking about the same thing! Keep updating with pics please!!!!
oh damn really?! Saweeet! wheres the pics sucka? yeah, check out the tail lights.. they kinda sit right at the the curve of the quarters... bugs the heck outta me!.. just going to center them up..
Nice chevy before, very nice chevy now. That chop is spot on! Great to see the three piece back window also.
I only got a couple pics!! we dug it out of my mini storage, got it all cleaned out and I have to go back and load it up on my trailer. She's ready, not missing a thing!!! Only reason I thought about doing the tail lights is the driver side is pushed in a little bit. So why not fix them huh!!
hahaha! Yup, sounds like a good enough reason to me! Thats cool buddy.. thats what i was actually looking for.. but then i found my hardtop
I'll be digging her out and taking her home next week, I'll start a thread and pm you the link. She's got 94k miles on her with a rebuild at 60k!! I'm hoping she'll fire right up!! Let me know if you need a HT visor for your car, my buddy has one he might part with!!
hmmmmm i could be rockin' a front visor too? badass! yeah pm me the link when tou start that thread.. i wanna check it out!
Thanks Eric! i plugged everything even tho im going to run the fender and door trim.. but just went ahead and did them in case i dont find them before GNRS! Looking at a few sets of skirts on here, trying to find rear beltline trim which is gonna be hard.. i have mine but it needs MAJOR straightening! Your truck turned out beautiful homie!
update... Got all the holes and bare metal in primer... also relocated the tail lights down about 2 inches so they are centered between the top of the quarter and bumper. Im going to start blocking the body soon.. then take it over to get the glass cut and fitted....
