i got bored at work, and took my hood ornament off, and filled it... i think im gunna pancake it next week.... god damn these 56 dodges are ugly!!!! no wonder nobody does anything with um!!
I never thot the '56 Dodge's were ugly...it's like anything else...it takes a creative eye to enhance the looks...in your case, french the headlights, get rid of that thing you've got in the grill opening. Build yourself a grille surround out of exhaust tubing, roll it into the hood lip and mold it in...put in some DeSoto teeth...Do not pancake it...that'll add to the "ugly". Open up that scoop in the hood, put a couple of chromed Merc teeth in there to visually hold it together, and get rid of that damned flat blak...drop it a bit more, remove the door handles, the trunk emblem and see if you can move that "far out" side mirror. Add some full hubcaps, maybe a flame job and you've got a killer Dodge... Just my thirteen cents worth... OK, now you can tell me to mind my own business! R-
well... i shaved my handles yesterday, the mirror is gone,its decked.... it may be flat black, but it does have a purple anodized aluminum flake top.... and caps and my bag mang.....and if ya think i need a desoto grill.... you can go ahead and pick one up fer me, cus i know they are really cheap.... just my 2 cents... p.s.. do you have a hot girl layin on the trunk of yer car???

[/ QUOTE ] Hell no, she ain't laying on the trunk...she's in the back seat, where she belongs...and I'll be back there in a minnit after I answer this damn post. And Hell no, I ain't gonna pick up a DeSoto grille for you..it's YOUR car, I just gave you several ideas for free...you gotta be prepared to sepnd a little if you want to improve your "ugly" car...and I see you TOOK some of them. YOU were the one that called it ugly...I'm simply trying to help. Gimmee my change back then, you owe me 11 cents!!! R-
56,those cars are kill. I like some of the ideas 40stude gave ya. Any more pics of the girl? Are we gonna see you,the girl and the car at the Unfinished Nats in a few weeks?......Shiny
I'd like to leopard print her back seat The car is cool, but maybe a grill massage wouldn't hurt.....
Look's better than stock. Grill is the only glitch I see. The idea's you have are fine. The hood does look a bit thin already. Backseat? That's fer bashful folk's. Out on the deck lid, for easy access. Keep posting your work.
You ever though abouy a different front bumper maybe something with a 54 chevy shape to it. I dont think its ugly now but just a thought.
Very cool ride Different is always better in my book. My pops would be running an olds motor or a hemi in that thing in a day! HAHA! But that grill needs a 50 Buick smile! thats for sure!! Good luck.. Keep us posted Bro!
those make wild customs,some body posted a chopped one on here ages ago......looked purdy cool! BTW nice chip ya got there!!
If you gets bored often enough,that car will end up beeing pretty kool,Im sure! Those cars have a good potential... What about some frenching of the headlights,and the front part of ANOTHER hood? chev 53-55 ford 55-56 or sumthin.. Garahe! Z
I think it looks pretty good actually. A little lower, do something for the wheels, spiff up the grille.. and it's done. I even like the paint. How the hell did you take B&W pictures?
[ QUOTE ] but maybe a grill massage wouldn't hurt [/ QUOTE ] Ok...I'll massage her grille for you just bring her over. I think if you just use her as a hood emblem it won't matter what you do to the car. Seriously ..you have alot to work with. Some guys have all the luck.
Hey, I see that car around all the time. I live in Ballard but work in Redmond. I dig it a lot. Now cut some more coils and get bigger blocks out back
I told ya about that grill!!! It looks better in person though... Whos the chippy rich? I wanna see more pics of her!
