Features tri five chevys lets see em"

Put my green tint gl*** in today. First time it’s been off the trailer. Going back on soon. Waited to see what the hurricane was going to do. Did not want to sweep up new green tinted gl***.

 

Any info? I see reworked 56 fenders. The cowl appears to be 57 (more reworking so 55 hood will work), if so it’s a 57 body?

 

If it's the same car, IIRC, I believe it was built by a guy named Jerry Covill (sp?). The car club I used to belong to invited him (from California?) to our '05 show in Issaquah, WA where he displayed the car. My memory is he started out with a '57 4dr. He and a business partner first built a car like that in a 2dr HT example. When they went their separate ways, IIRC, his former business partner ended up with the 2dr HT, so... Jerry decided to build the convertible example from a 4-dr sedan husk using the lessons learned from the HT build.

sidenote: I think I've offered that summary a time or two in some past threads here on the HAMB, but I'm to lazy to go looking for them just now.

 

Ewww. Right down to the wheels.

 

I was too busy picking apart the build I missed that. I’ll say bye bye in advance.

 

Maybe the original poster can offer edited photos with the wheels blacked out to keep the continuity, or perhaps the past 4-5 posts will get the MIB treatment

 

Nope, just a crazy build i saw on the web a while back!

 

That would be an easy fix !
