Don't laugh too hard but here is some pics of one I drug home a few weeks ago. It's actually fairly solid, truth be told. Just has some shotty wiring issues to deal with and a bit of rocker rust.
I've been gathering ideas from this thread and praying I have half the skill of some of these other fellows.

 

my avatar had a 235 /3 1 barrels and dual exhaust with a 3 spd. is getting a 400 hp 355 and 700r4 with an early TA posi ole ft worth built Morbec mags.from the 70s.....think its gonna be a hotrod now.... you tell me...oh also I have a lead foot

 

Here's my 51'

Looks good layedout! I'm waiting on my 3 deuce set up too, one day.

 

lol they're nice and all but too much money and work for my taste . I'm not the most mechanically inclined guy so I'll pass on 3 deuce set ups lol

thats a clean hardtop on astros

 

Does this car still exist in this look. I think this is the same car but is it painted a different color ?? which is the current look (or has it changed again).



or



I really dig the look of this car.

 

Lots and Lots of awesome rides in this thread!!

 

here is an update on my ride. taking it from a Hotrod look to a late 60's/ early 70s mild custom.

Spent the entire weekend blowing the car apart and it is just about ready to head out to get body work and paint. Its new version will be bright (colors in consideration magenta, purple, tangerine, lime green or bright blue). The car at the top of the page has been eating at me and I finally gave in to it. It will get 14" astro supremes or Cragars and thin whitewalls. interior color will be white or black TnR. (color of car will determine).

from this


to this over the weekend

 

this is nice.

 

My '53 210

I think Deadend Mags car is one of the best looking 53's EVER!

This one is pretty cool, looks like they put on Tri-Five headlights.

Been working on getting all the mechanical's done, all that's left is the exhaust then it will be a running driver then paint rubber and glass.
Interior should be done next week I hope.
