my 51 chevy is painted!!!!!

these are some pictures of my car from the beginning and then end im sorry i didn't do***ent everything I hardly have money for chrome so its hard to have a little for film.

the story
Its been a long time coming this car i bought when I was 15 from a fellow in my car club by the name brandon who has shown me many things in the ways of hot rods and customs. After buying it my dad and I got it running and a week after that brandon and I drove it to paso and back. threw the years I changed things fixed things and had many headaches and good times. I started thinking I wanted it to drive it a little easer on the free way so i dropped a some what rebuilt 235 and a 5 speed with a 10 bolt rear end.

The body
the body was the worst part on the car the rockers where gone in parts, the typical pats the bottom of the front fenders, the gravel gard area, below the decklid, the bottom of the doors, and even bolth A pillars and even a little into the cal and firewall. needless to say it was a lot. I knew how to weld and do metal work but i had never done body work like this I had so many ups and downs with it but i know now how to do everything and wouldn't want it any other way hope you like it.

more pics to come

 

Lookin' good man, color combo looks great!

 

yeah the top is actually a really light kind of an ivory green but it looks white

 

thanks

 

Just the body style I want for my text project. So send it my way but since you won't, i'll finish with lookn good.

 

My grandfather's first new car was the same color combo. Does that ever bring back memories. Thanks

 

sweet

 

way nice.. good color choice too

 

the funny part about the color combo was it was all old left over paints that my dad and I mixed up the top we put a bunch of white with this midnight green and the bottom we mixed everything we had left

Im putting some bumperets on it so it will clean up the back and look really cool its the stock bumper guards just with lights in them ill post some pics when i get them from chrome

 

Good job tim! That thing has come a long ways since i last seen it.

 

Me likey! I also see from the pictures that the person on a different forum who told me that the 50 Fender I bought was slightly different from the '51 in the grill area is absolutely correct. It's not going to matter on my car, but it might be helpful for others to know.

 

thanks cheify its been a lot of work but its well worth the wait

 

yeah there a little diffrent but after all the work that u do to these cars you can change **** around and make it look right
