    Wow that looks cool. Looking for different front end than stock. Keep the ideas coming.
     
  2. I had a thought about Ford and its dibisions. It came to be as a what if. What if Ford started the Mercury Division alongside the Model A introduction. What would the cars look like? What would the emblem appear as? I think it would be similar to ford and lincoln and so I found a Mercury logo that might be a good candidate for a grill shell. So could someone please design up the emblem i have for the grill shell? Obviously subtract the records part. flat,750x,075,f-pad,750x1000,f8f8f8.jpg

    Here's a '51 with a 6-bar grill, using the top bar for all bars. Stockish, yet kustom! Oh, and '54 Buick headlights.

    1948 Olds grille with bumper and over-riders and '52 Old 88 headlights.
    Customs usually delete the over-riders, but I think the big pickup needs the visual weight to balance the tall hood.

    Another variation on the the top bar style. Hood and fender line dropped down a bit.
    This time with 1959 International Harvester quads.

    Hey guys, I have another wheel change request...

    Black steelies, black walls, and shiny dog bowls. Car is still under the knife so options are endless. I'm open to suggestions, too.

    Thank you in advance.

    Since you're open to suggestion, I chose two types of Hurst wheels that recall Studebaker's Bonneville days.

    This is maybe a little tricky, but I’ll ask. Found this old pic of my old A and brothers Ranchero at BTT50s in 1994. Would it be possible to get rid of the sawhorse and guy in blue with umbrella on left. Leave the guy in white sweatshirt (me). Second pic gives an idea of what the rear quarter of the car looks like. Thanks much. IMG_6989.jpeg IMG_2437.jpeg

    G'day guys,
    I am trying to picture my Buick with a couple of mods and am wondering if someone with far more technical smarts than I could picture it for me?
    First is the ride just with black D-Town smoothies with 3.5" centre bullets and low profile whitewalls.
    Second option is the same, but also with a black window tint and all chrome (including centre bullets) done in a satin black wrap.
    Many thanks!

    I have ordered a set of Radir wheels for my 53 Chevy. I was hoping someone with the time and skills could help me get through the wait of them being made.
    (With the white walls)
    Thank you.

    If I was building that car, I'd take a chunk out of the rear of the front door, and front of the rear door, and keep the forward lean of the C pillar to be used as the B pillar.

    Couple of old goes at the Nash. Did start with a two door, but i doubt it'd make much odds, if you' re going this far. IIRC the roof line needs some reshaping, as it's too flat as is, (across the top of the door) and you need to get some curve into it. A roof off a GM fastback might be easier. I raked the screen too, as it's really oddly vertical on these things. You could end up with a sort of giant Porsche 356 if you do it right.

  21. Is a 427 Cobra off-topic? How about a 427 Cobra with a Karmann Ghia roof?

    Everything looks better with a Karmann Ghia roof.

    To answer your question, this is shortened quite a bit, not chopped, but I did rake the screen, as I can't stand the original version. I still used two door doors. It'll look really off if you don't stretch the doors. Nash.jpg
     
  24. Here's something I played around some time ago:eek:
