Victoria Secret

Awesome build....you have captured a time lost.

 

Damn, man, that back window treatment is 'da bomb! That second shot kinda' looks like a Southwest Jet. Royale, with cheese...........

 

Great story. That is the car I want!!!! Keep posting pics of the car......and victoria secret models if you want.

 

Spent most of the morning going through this thread......saw it when it first started and of course forgot to subscribe...then I retired and moved....so anyway...great story and a really amazing build...your attention to and respect for history and detail is most impressive and the car is aesthetically perfect...I congratulate you and your wife for your decisions....this is going to be a memorable car. Oh... and I loved all the feedback about color etc. knowing all along that they were meaningless as "Lady Shifter" would have the last and probably best opinion.........

 

Thanks guys....I will probably stay in where it is cool for the next couple of days. Fucking 105 degrees!!!!

 

I just spent the last hour or so going through this thread.You abso-freakin-lutely nailed everything that makes a chopped ford cool!I just started my first custom and have got some great ideas from this.Keep them coming.Eddy

 

This car is just too cool. I love every modification you are doing to it. Very tasteful and not overkill. As for the color, I vote the second one, PB&J

 

Skip, Looking forward to the completion of Victoria's Secret ! Going to be way Kool !

I can say the colors will be two-tone.

 

getting closer and closer....finished KBS coating the chassis and firewall.

 

Damn that looks good Skipper!!! Teach me about KBS coating. I never heard of it.

 

you have bumped the Bass fastback chevy as my favorite build on the HAMB, I can't wait to see more of this car!

 

The guy that was doing the mix with Por15 left and went on his own and let me tell you this shit is tough and cheaper. They have a chassis kit with everything you need even the rubber gloves. I coated the whole under the car and the chassis with a quart and a half.......with a brush!!

 

That's awesome. I did my '35's under carriage with POR-15 and then painted everything from the firewall forward with Dupont centurian 5000. But for the next car that KBS looks like it might be a nice alternative! I love painting with a brush, it's much more simple....like me!

 

With a brush? That looks bloody fantastic! I'm going to have to learn more about that stuff.

Have you mentioned when you'll expect this car back from paint (or at least when we'll see a picture of the car with paint on it.. )? I absolutely cannot wait to see how straight the body looks with paint on it.

low buck back yard builder here JJ. I did the Teixera the same way. I am on a budget man.

 

I hear ya, and the results look so good why would would you bother breaking out the paint gun and getting more involved then you have to. I can tell you one thing, those coatings that are applied with a brush are hard as hell and just the thing you need for an area that's going to see some abuse.

 

Can you hurry up and brush the rest of the car already

 

Yep, it sure does and as good as it looks in pictures its ten times better in person.

 

You impatient little devil.....!!!!!

 

lookin killer skiper

 

Skip, Victoria Secret is definitely the best Shoebox custom of the modern era & my favourite! Keep up the brilliant work

Victoria Secret has got me turning to the darkside and wanting a custom of my own. So much so I am looking to sell or trade my '25 roadster, I don't need 2 roadsters.

 

nice job! wish i could see this car in person

 

This thing is going to be awesome!
