60's Customs.....Let's see ummm!!!!

Hey Dan, nice truck! You got more pics of a side shot? I'm interested in how the bellflowers look from the side.

 

He was telling me about Impala Bob's last weekend. As far as my car goes, all I've got right now are shitty pics shot by the last owner. Forgot to take my own last weekend -- too busy driving it and wrenching on a few little things. Ill take some better ones tomorrow. At the moment it's bone stock except for the fact that I stripped the ugly rectangular mirror off the front fender.

 

Dan, I really want to see what it looks like now!!!

 

these are cool cruisers

 

vbmenu_register("postmenu_677908", true); Groucho, you know any details on the paint on your car? I've seen it before and love the paint job. I want to do the same to my Galaxie.

 

what the heck happened to my post? I must be writing in some sort of code...hmmmm

 

I've got a dual carb and split manifold for it if you want, pm me

 

aw hell, here's my 60 Olds 98

 

Candy green over rainbow silver flake by Carlos Wright. hope this helps

 

I saw this one for sale on ebay about a year ago. Congratulations. I tried to contact the seller at that time to find out more about the paint but never got a response. Where is Carlos Wright located and do you have any contact information?

 

Nice 60! What size tires and wheels are you running? What is the offset on them? They look to be nicely squeezed in.

 

thanks guys, I don't think I have any side shots of my apache on this computer, but I think there are a few guys on here who might from Paso or something? and I don't have any current shots of what the olds looks like right now. It sat in my garage for the last two years and I just pulled it out a couple of weeks ago and did the new stuff to it since then. It's currently having a full rebuild on the tranny, and when I get it back, I'm gonna finish up a few things for Paso and then I'll take some pictures. Some cool cars in this post, the other 2 '60 Oldsmobubbles look cool, of course I've seen the metalflake one around for a while. I think Donnie Bairds '63 Olds should be in this post too, but i don't have any pics of it.

 

Here's the beginings of mine:

 

Hey Cliff
Long time no speak. I talked to the upholstery guy this morning, the 300 goes off to the shop the last week in may and it should be ready to come home about mid June.
Its only been waiting for new hydes for about a year.

 

wasn't that Gold Riv in Custom Rodder a while back?

 

Love this one!!

 

Here's a couple of shots of what I'm starting with. Yeah, it's got some dents.

The direction I'm thinking of.

Too bad I can't get the scallops right, even in photoshop...

The point: interior colours to the exterior as accent.

 

Sweet rides!

Here's mine.

Gonna put some panel stripes on it soon, something like in the example attached.

 

The green 63 2dr Sedan is not alive anymore...it got into a crash...it was a cool car from Austria. I got news of my 60 Pontiac, too. It will be finished from the paint shop around next week....here is one small impression for you guys


Of course the clear coat isn´t on it right now.
More to come...when it´s finished.

Here a old picture of my last ride: A 1964 Chevy Impala 4dr Sedan.

I drove this car every day to Highschool over here in germany

 

Man. That looks pretty damn cool to me.

 

god damn i need to finish another project so i can stop posting these same old pics of my el cheepo. . . for the bejillionth time. . . I swear I have built more than this . . .

 

Shut up. It's one of the coolest, most tasteful cars on the HAMB. Keep posting it. It's also the car that made me decide on Cragar Wires rather than Astros. If I hear any Mexican jokes about my wagon though, you're taking the blame

 

More...a few are D'Augustino cars and done in a pretty spendy manner, but 60's style none the less. T-Bird was Harpoon's car.

 

Here's my 60 dodge, nothin too crazy but a nice cruiser.

 

that buick is amazing

Still a work in progress, but my '63 Grand Prix.
