Customs **The debut of "Kiwi Krush" at the Suede Palace**

one of my favorites at the show

 

I think I want a 54 Hardtop now? Bitchen Ride ese

 

My compliments to the chef ..Great job

 

Looks fantastic! Does that mirror help?? I love the way it looks and if its functional I'm thinking about running some on mine.

 

Saw it. Loved it.

 

And you never said it was a beautiful machine either. My underwear is fine, Thank You. Next time Fuck the Back-handed compliment, just tell it like it is. Well worthy of its award.

 

thanks jamcoupe.. yours was one of my inspirations..love your ride.. yeah that mirror actually does work..comes in handy and shows just enough on the side to see whos back there

thanks Mark in Japan and roddin-shack... i see what youre both saying... It is true Mark.. the last few years the "SUEDE" Palace has been getting less "Suede-eee"( is that a word?) with more and more painted rides.. I even noticed that and was like..should i even be here? But thats when roddin-shack makes a good point... Its also meant to showcase the work in progress rides that get driven to the show in the rain, snow, etc.. (which i hit snow on the way home with no side glass!) mine isn't 100% complete yet either... but you know what..after walking through the other buildings.. i have no business being in any other building BUT the Suede
Palace! those other rides are top notch and flawless!
Thanks guys for the positive comments, appreciate it

 

Awesome!!!!!

 

WOW!!! Stunning car, and all the better being built in your driveway. This should inspire anyone who is thinking "I can never do that" and give them proof it CAN be done.

What a payoff for so much hard work!

 

I must say the car turned out great. One of the pics used on the first page was one i took a couple years ago at BadBobs BBQ. Awesome. Heres a couple more from there if you dont have them already.

 

Congratulations! Awesome job, soooo awesome that you did it in your driveway! I like the video of you driving it to GNRS! Nothing wrong with a little rain

 

thanks Frank.. i hope i did exactly that

awwww i miss my silver bullet haha great pics, thanks for sharing them

thanks Weeks

thanks adams27

thanks so much buddy! you see the vid on FB? yeah i thought it was cool cruising down in the rain Thursday... what wasnt cool... was driving back Sunday in the snow with no side windows!

 

I followed your threads and it was great to see in person! I also have a 52 and will be hitting you up for advice. All the best!

 

Congratulations and well deserved.

 

sweeeet...now snap to it, i want to see those vent windows

 

Very nice product young man,What's next? Bill aka Tnomoldw

 

Well deserved award, you should be more than happy.............
I've followed the build closely for a while and this is my first posting on it.
One question though, is the roof still done in flake?
It looks in the pics like the roof is the same as the rest of the car.

 

BadLuck, Mr and Mrs BOMONSTER really dug your car too. We were there late the first night looking at the cars and she noticed yours first. It was the paint that got her. I was into the nice chop, grill and dash and she loved the paint. Your progress pics remind us that the hobby really is often times about a guy in a driveway building a masterpiece with hand tools. Thanks for posting.

 

That is a sweet ride. The stance is right on the money.

 

Fantastic job, love the colour, I wondered what I'd look like crushed!

Scotty

 

thanks.. definitely hit me up if you have any questions..ill help as much as I can

thanks bonesy

matt you kill me!! youre ALL about those vent windows! i might just have you help me...now snap to that!

thanks Bill.. well next is to do interior and as "slddnmatt" will tell you, vent windows! then its time to look for a 35-36 Plymouth coupe

thanks itsmee, yes the roof and dash are still flaked out.. flake does not cooperate well with cameras! kind of a in person thing

Thanks so much Bomonster and to the Mrs. Bomonster! Can't tell you how much it means to me to hear comments like this.. I almost was going to drop it off for body and paint because i was nervous and doubting i could pull off a paint job worthy enough for my car.. but now that its done and I see the results and all the positive feedback..its an amazing feeling of accomplishment. Thanks again my friend. CJ

thanks hotrodmano!

 

Let me clarify...your car ROCKS! No doubt about it. It rocked pretty hard when it was black primer & scallops too!!!

This award just jolted me to realising the effect the HAMB has made over the last 5 years or so.

Didn't they start the Suede Palace coz it was the only way they could get ANY recognition for the barn find originals, and traditional hot rods in among all of the "Street Rodders"???

Well now that the 'Main Room' has gone this far in the Traditional direction, has the suede Palace rewritten the rules, and made itself redundant????

BadLuck's car isn't 'second class'.....it's just plain old badass!!!!
At what point is a car "too good" to be a winner in the Suede Palace?
Will trophy hunters one day 'dress down' their cars, chasing the Suede Palace Gong??????

 

hahaha thanks Scotty.. hey no disrespect to my Kiwi's! Love you guys! this color was called Kiwi Metallic... so instead of Orange Crush, or Grape Crush...we have... Kiwi Krush!

 

That is a sweet ride. Stance and chop and color are perfect.
Later,
Dick

 

One of my favorite Chevys for sure , awesome car partna

 

Beautiful Chevy!! Spent a lot of time wandering around the Palace and yours was one of the ones I spent several stops at noting the many subtle changes. GREAT JOB!! A well deserved honor!! Now drive the HELL out of it!!

 

I am so happy that the quality has gone up in the last ten years, I hope that rats will die out forever soon.


Congratulations, you deserve the accolades.

 

Congrats . All the hard work you guys have put in has paid off. next stop VLV .......

 

Terrific car - you deserve the trophy.

If I win the lottery tonight I'm on the first plane out with a fistful of dollars.
