Customs Pics of 58 Chevies

Public wasn't quite ready for the pickup/car combination yet, I guess, so then they did the El Camino next....they should have went straight to the El Camino in 55, that would have been much cooler.

 

Sure would've. With the Nomad B pillars, quarters and tailgate.

 

You only lose 1 demerit point... hahaha

 

Probably partially my fault, I am the one that talked about Chevy should have built the El Camino starting in 55. It is a very nice looking 55 so it isn't a problem for me.

 

No problem 59Apachegail. These conversions are always interesting. This picture with my old 58 Chevy includes my current 56 EL conversion and a current and former 37 Chevy.

 

I would like to see more pictures of you 56 El Camino project, do you have a build thread on it?

 

Your 56 is a great ride. Need to see more

 

Build thread is a couple of years old for my 56 ElCamino. Can be found here. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/some-pics-of-my-friends-1956-elcamino.399170/

 

Thanks for sharing the pictures and I enjoyed looking back on the build thread, excellent workmanship. Looks like you make a regular habit of it, too.

 

That's so cool. My grandad had a 58.

My girlfriends 58 Biscayne, RHD with a 350 350 set up... Hers is obviously the pink one haha. The blue is owned by a painter who works next door to me, converted from a 4dr hardtop 15-20 odd years ago here in Perth.

 

The first one isn't a 58 Chevy, It's a 49 to 51 Ford.

 

Ok I'm just about tapped out and I cant remember which ones I've already posted.
This is the one I like the best of the old school mild customs.... which one do you like best??

 

I like this one best.

 

I'm not sure I can say that I have a favorite a**** them, the following all appeal to me a lot.

 

Here are a couple of different shots of my sedan delivery

The interior is undergoing a makeover during the winter, the console has gone. I'll post a new interior picture when it's done

Here is my Delray. Doing some little kustom stuff to it.

 

A little photoshop exercise I did on "What if GM had sold a lot of trifive Nomads and continued them in 58."

 

Started to buy this one, but looked like it would need too much work.

 

I sure like what I saw in your jalopy journal thread. Don't pay any attention to the nay sayers I have heard it all on my roadster build. I would have quit if I cared about their opinions. keep us up to date on your build

 

Put a 348 or Nailhead Buick in this one. Add a tow-go rear suspension for pulling a small camper or trailer holding 2 HD's.
