    Greetings everyone, thought i'd share some pics of Nelly 53 Chevy Hardtop i worked on a few years back,it came to me chopped by Lalo from Los reyes c.c. i think i ended up doing 18 mods on this chevy everthing from 55 Chevy headlights,56 Packard tailights, 50 Pontiac rear bumber, Early chevy overide, 54 chevy front bumper and apron,ext skirts, and rust repair...i believe this ride is still in all metal and still looking good,looking foward to seeing it on the road soon

    Curious as to why you rounded the cuts on the new quarters?

    Less warpage when welding as the metal shrinks, well worth the effort !!

    Reason for the rounded panel , well theres three...I cut around the damaged warped area, less warping when welding the new sheet metal in, and last it's easier on the eyes....
