Killing time..pics of DatDirtyRat's 54 and my 53...

Kind of a quiet day today..
Dirty came over to throw some shock's in his '54, and i spent all morning working on my 53..
I had wanted to get some pics of the two cars together at some point, and this was a good day to do it..we actually had sun! LOL


Anyway, here they are for those interested..

Tony

 

A few more.

 

Both are lookin good Tony, I do say, that bodywork on yours looks damn straight from what I can tell. You know my soft spot for 53-4s. The white car is just simplecool. Thanks.

 

Tman,
thanks..

I just dug up the "Rockstars" sticker i got a couple years ago from you and put it on the drivers vent window...(it's finally got gl*** in it)
Dirty's had his on for a while now..
And i gotta agree, i drove his car today, man what a ****ing cool car!
Drive's GREAT!

 

sweet, very sweet!
rat, I love the color!

is it me or is ther no front gl***? I see the chrome trim, but no gl*** ?

 

Naa, it's not you.
I havn't done it yet. I wanted to get the rubber out and uncoiled, so i figured i might as well stick the chrome in it and get the shape in it..

I drove it around the block a few time's and got some **** in my eye's..i need to get it done.LOL

There's still a lot of stuff missing from my car.
Like the grill surround, it's still in the chrome shop..

 

MMMMMMMM Tasty! Very nice pics. How did you guys go about lowering the cars in the front? (blocks out back is pretty straightforward but I want to drop my 52 so am collecting suggestions)

 

Tony,looking really good.
Pics are inspirational for sure.

Tman is right,that thing is straight!

I gotta get something like your car to carry the family in.

Take it easy bro......Shiny

 

well, both car's were done the cheap old fashioned way...
Cut coils.

Dirty's car sit's right!
mine's still too high..but that'll change once i get the outside finished up.

 

Sweet looking rides guys...

 

Very, very cool!

Joel

 

too kool guys..a great way to spend the afternoon ...cars look awsome...later,,,poncho

 

Thanks guy's..

It really was a good day..
I still can't believe we had nice weather all day long!LOL

 

aaah, nice.

 

what the hell have you been doin all winter for chrisakes???? kidding! that looks the balls!! gonna be a lot of new sleds on the east coast this year..u better have it done in time for road agents.

 

Hell yeah!

 

Cars look great. Thanks for the pictures, they keep me motivated to keep working on my 53.

 

The car looks absolutely stunning !!! You really did a great job on that one ! The chop is perfect and works very well with the shortened side trim.The paint looks gorgeous in the sunlight and I like that color a lot.Very,very nice car ! If I remember correctly your plans were to go unskirted but I simply couldn't resist to add some as I like them so much and for me they make your Chevy to one of the best looking ones ever.What a GREAT car.Damn fine job !!!

 

Packrats have some pretty killer rides i hope to meet you guys at the Syracuse nats this year-

 

some nice looking chevys,how much did you take out of the top on your when you chopped it?It looks like the perfect amount from here..

 

Look'n great Tony. I'd make some half-***'d comment about going lowered...but I lived in Rochester and know about those roads

 

Sweet looking rides. I haven't hauled mine out more than once since the snow thawed. It's just been too damn miserable.

Tony - I think I'm going to call Langdon's about the lines to run water to my intake manifold. Have you come up with anything yet?

Later,
Jay

 

Hey Jay..
I havn't done anything other than look at the intake yet. Been trying to get the rest of the car done first..
Lemme know what you come up with if you do..thanks!

TheFrenz..thats pretty damn cool..and the skirts do look better than i thought.
Still kinda partial to this car without though..i just really need to get it down more. Believe it or not, it's got 2 cut coils in front and 3" blocks in the back already..not enough though..haha
I need top learn to photoshop like that..i LOVE that ****!

Graverobber63, we should be there barring any major issue's.

Singledownloop, i took 5" our of the front and set the roof profile to where i thought it looked right to me, which ended up being about 5 1/2 in the back.

 

you bringing the 53 to Larry's show

 

Naa, it won't be ready. And i'm low on cash to finish it.

Maybe next year.

 

that 53 is just killer, been following the progress for awhile....

 

The front coils have been cut on mine and the back has a rear spring kit (i believe from Posie's if i remember right) w/lowering blocks...It handles great,,if you have the extra money to do it,,go for it...

Dirty

 

Hey Rat...OVER HERE!!! Call me beee atch. Rock star must have given me a bum number or somethin'.. I get no calls back..

By the way. You Pack rats are the ginchiest..fer sure. Such swell cars.

Spike

 

*****in'.

pak rat, your car is just right. to me, it sits perfect. but then again, i have an off taste.

both cars are works of art.

 

Heres some of mine. Primed the front end today. Gota finish peaking the nose..
