i'm trying to decide what headlight treatment to go with. either packard trim by the fender or 55 chevy eyebrows with nomad trim. any body fell like giving me a visual.
Nomad eyebrows will cost more that you have in the whole shebang, my friend. I'm seeing '55 or '56 Pontiac trim on there. To divide the two-tone paint.
check this out my friend. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1955...62QQcategoryZ33654QQihZ024QQitemZ370086368784 i don't think pontiac trim will work due to the back fenders they bulg out.
Looking at it, I see that you're right. Maybe just use a short piece on the front fender and door... The fender pieces that are missing in the Ebay link would make it expensive still.
heres my crack at it. with and without skirts I also added a front bumper, 57 lincoln hubcaps, and you probably dont want to hear it, but I re-worked the back of the roof to get it to flow better, and I think it would make a huuuuuge difference. It gets rid of the bump on the top. I think i also moved the package tray forward a few inches?. I also sectioned the trunk a little and reworked it to get the lines to flow. I think the nomad lights could possibly look cool..but keep an open mind. I was also looking at 56 lincolns on the web.
ollin thanks man. in those pics the rear roof section is just sitting on the car a mock up if you will. and as crazy as it may be those are the caps it will have. here are some more recent pics. would you mind throwing some deep red color on it so i can see it in one color? thanks man.
nice photoshop ollin,,,, i think it could look even better if you extended those quarters about 8 inches or so,,wouldnt be that hard to do.....
For ****s and giggles... '53 cadillac side trim. '53-'54 chevy quarter panels/tailights and bumper. Rocker moulding. and I used the skirts from the cadillac too, actually just the trim and the wheel well is from the 53-54 chevy. they would probably be too big but something like that. oh and I put your gl*** in.
here's my buddy's old 51 plymouth for inspiration! he never finished it but it had tons of potential. It started as a fastback.
A quickie... Full skirts, door trim, frenched headlights, lowered the crown on the trunk and roof Simple, yet effective...
Ok, heres one more! I tried this and it could look pretty cool, but then in looks a lot like a chevy... I added custom lights on the back, sort of based on merc lights. you could also mold in the splash pan and put a different bumper
you guys rock. ollin i have a **** load of pics of your buddies old fastback. as far as tailights go it will have 50 ford tailights ala the rusk chevy. thanks every one that worked on it for me.
