Customs My last build

My buddy Nate getting the gaps dialed inn and removed a couple of buckets of bondo.

 

Body and new frame ready to mate.


New to air ride.


Added wing windows that were deleted be the previous owner. Had to source all the internals that were cut out. Lots of work but i have never been a fan of one pc door glass. Thanks to Retrorides in Bend OR for the help to reshape the window frames.

Car came with a full tail-pan but I like a bumper so I cut flattened and spliced a DeSoto bumper.


Body and paint done, still have interior to finish

 

Nice

 

Of course you go to Bend Oregon to get your windows reshaped.

 

Love these years of old Chevy's! My dad's '41 in or around 1948-'50. He said it ran a GMC with spilt exhaust. He said it wasn't 'souped' much. LoL

 

Very cool! I’m following!

Maybe hit “full image” when you post pics. Makes them easier to see and zoom in, etc.

 

Ok. Thanks, it’s all new to me.

 

Did you chop it yourself? Looks badass!!

 

Wish i had the talent! It was done when i bought it by a guy in B.C. Canada that since retired. The backside of the chop really showed his work!

 

Very nice flowing lines . Thanks for sharing your build .

 

Way too kool! Fantastic work, that dash slaps ya....Thank you for posting your progress.

 

Those are a tough roof line to get right when chopped! I see far more failures that don't look as nice as yours! I love the contrasting dash color too! Used to see that more on hotrods, and glad you went with it.

 

Still dialing it inn.

Most excellent!!!

This is why it takes me forever to build. Painting springs under the modified seat rails, that no-one will ever see.

 

Had some leftover 18g stainless (prob overkill) and decided to use it for the 4” front center speakers and the rear 6” speakers.

 

Beautiful! Love chopped Mercs from the same era, but it is great to see some variety! Great lines with that chop!

 

Fade away fenders! So cool.
What do the headlights and grill look like?

 

Here is a short video showing front during first buff.
