Heres my try at it






A try with orange/black


I couldnt resist adding some fender well headers

 

first 55 dreamsicle I have ever seen

 

bump

 

Are these pictures OK? should i take different one?


Thanks again

 

That's kinda of my goal...I went to a small town show last year, out of less than 100 cars, there were 2 red and white 55's. There's at least one red and white 55 at every show I attend, and most of them are pretty small.

 

Do you have a similar picture but with no shadows on the back of the car? The side shot will work best if the whole car is visible.

 

thanks james, you did my 61 olds and i was going that route but i had to sell it before i could scallop it , hopefully i can keep and finish this one.........cheers

 

oh, er, no, of course not, its just a photochop, of a random idea, nothing more... anyway, i cannot do anything on any car, at this point of my life, no need to worry

only post more of my knowledge lacking chops and ugly ideas

 

Is this what you're looking for? They are a little crude but you get the idea.


I think just a couple shades lighter on the scallops look nice

 

Medium, more pastel orange...? Are you thinking something like the coral color that was used some cars of this era?

 

It was a really bad picture, but I made a quick photochop.x2
Lowered it a bit in the rear too, hope you don't mind

A friend gave me some paint, it's not the 1955 coral color, but it's not a bright orange either....I'd guess that if you mixed hugger orange and the coral color 50/50, it'd be close. Like non-metallic, pale cheese whiz.... It's kind of an odd color, but I think with the right combination, it would look very nice.

 

Thanks Zykotex!!! those are great. Much appreciated

 

Thank you 54Caddy. Just trying to see what i can do to break up the blue a little.

 

Corally-orangey-cheese-whizzy, huh?

I had a hard enough time with pastel orange - it looked good at home, but when I posted, it came out reddish - just the color you wanted to avoid!

Anyway, I love the coral colors from the mid-fifties and have given some thought to using those tones myself on a future project.

So I have an idea for two-toning your car. Look for some of the metallic grays from BMW, Mercedes, and others in the nineties. They run from pale pewters, through charcoal, to near-black. They go from micro-flake to almost bass-boat-metalflake! But they can really make a coral color pop.

If you want to go with an off-white: in the nineties, Lincoln had a pearl off-white with gold undertones. Very "kustom" looking and might go with your color.

But in either case - spray some test panels and look at them in daylight before doing the whole car!

 

Respectful re-request. Quick-and-dirty would be fine. Thanks.

Do you mean all the colors on one car, or one car in each color?

 

The latter, please. See previous Muppet Movie Studebaker reference.

That looks good Zykotec! All it needs is some rolling stock.

 

Something like this then, I left out some colours I think.

Better late than never, right? I did a couple different shades of turquoise.

Exactly! Thanks!!

Thank you for doing this.
I was dead set on a white top until seeing this. Kinda like it better without now.
The green is bitchin too!

 

No problem. I also think it looks better with the top the same color as the body.

 

Hoping someone may be able to help. I need some inspiration. I'm planning to start looking for Volvo PV towards the end of the year. Not everyones taste but there you go, i really like them. I'm not planning on doing too much to one, mostly lower it, few mods here and there and hop-up the motor a little. Very mild custom or sorts.

I after dropping the car in the picture in two different ways. I'd like to see it lowered all round about 2 1/2" - 3" and also about 2 1/2" but 3" at the back. Slight tail drag.

I think i know which will be better but need to see it.

Any help is much appreciated

Regards Dan

 

Here you go.
1 - Level
2 - Tail dragger

 

Brilliant, Rot n Kustom your a legend thank you. Funny thing is if you bounce between the pics it looks like its airing out

Thanks again!

 

Can someone put some white walls on 53? Thanks.
