My New Kustom Build

I got this body pretty cheap from some freinds and I was going to cut it up to make my 4 door 54 a 2 door, but the body was buildable so I started working on it instead of cutting it up, so i will keep my 4 door as a daily driver and work on this car in my spare time, but it's gonna be a while before I get this car on the road, i don't even know what i want to do with the front or the back for that matter, but here it is.. a chopped and sectioned 54 Chevy, some might think it's cartoony looking, like some thought of Matt Nobles Merc. and this car still needs tons of work, but it will be fun.. anyway here are a few pics.....

 

hey ,,i like it!

use a 49-52 back window and surround,.

 

It doesn't look chopped in the first photo. Whats the story behind it?

 

Lookin good.

Lotsa pics please, as you progress

 

Damn Omar, the section looks good. I didn't notice it at first.

 

Thats hot!

 

A friend of mine needed a frame, so he bought the car, pulled the frame out and sold me the body, the next weekend i chopped it, and then following day i sectioned it... so in the first pic is the day i bought and brought it home...

 

Holy shit! That is one bad ass muther!

 

DAAAAAMmm, Don't fuck it up Omar! anybody else got one of these to look at?

 

Awefull gutsy without bracing or a frame. But, the profile works for me.

How much section?

 

Looks like there is one brace in there....better than nothing right????

 

good luck!!!

 

tell me how you brace a body when you section a car

 

wicked lookin'

 

needs to be lower

 

anything new with this one?

 

Now that really lays...well...everything!

Looks crazy good man, keep it up! That thing is going to be rad.

 

great start cool car

 

Looking great! I like the proportions.

 

sick!!! - keep posting pics as you get more done - dig it!

 

no updates yet... I'm still doing some work to my other 54

 

What are the plans for frame and running gear? That is just too wild.

 

gonna get an original frame, with a MII front clip and a sbc.. thats what i have planned for now, i did get it off the ground finally...the car is pretty light now...took one guy on each corner to pick it up and put it on top of the 4x4s

 

man that looks cool...im sure you have, but have you've seen the monster garage '54? it was sectioned and chopped

 

yeah i have seen it, it's a nice ride too, but it needs a cool front bumper in my opinion

 

Is that a Merc window in your black Chevy? Just noticed that, it didn't always have one did it?

 

yeah it's a 50 merc back window... and we just finished it up last night.... and i already have the b-pillars and doors from a 2 door to make this a real 2 door finally....check it out...

 

Man Omar your more door has come a long way looking good man.That 54 will be nice as well.

 

I like that Merc window. Pretty slick...

 

Damn Omar did you even have time to eat turkey? Try to come out to the Dark Horse this Sunday.
