it was eastbound on I-40 in oklahoma about 50 miles from the texas border. did he ever sell it, or was this just a really close copy?
this thing had about the same chop, purple paint, flake roof i'm pretty sure, and white interior. it sat up too high though, i thought if it were yours, the bags were fullt inflated. huh. someone copied your car cole. tred.
You saw McPhail's chevy.... Sounds like to me.... Its just like Coles car.... Exept its purple... and Coles is a hardtop... And Mcphails is a '50 or so, coles is a '54.... and the chops are waayyy different... But they DO both have white interior....
I used to have this 54 that was cut by cole, but i just saw it two days ago, here in SC....and its red suede now
um, yeah... i did some research, and it was mcphail's car, not cole's. how could i get the two mixed up, what the hell was i thinking??? i'm such a tool sometimes. tred.
Road Devil---someone painted red suede over THAT paint? WTF?? I know that when you buy a car you can do whatever the hell you want, but comeon!
Well, we figured out whos car it was....I want to hear WTF happened with that Chevy! I love that car, I remember when you were selling it and wanting ir real bad....red suede...
Well...in a nutshell, I only saw it driving the other day, it still looks really sweet. My guess on him painting it is....prior to me getting it, there was this guy that accidentally had his bike fall into the p***enger door which left a small dent in the door, I just never had the heart to change it since I loved that candy purple so damn much. I know there was absolutely NO way to match the paint, so he painted it and it really looked pretty neat, it was a deep red/copper metallic suede.... Seems like a crime, but if I see it again I will try to get the guy to let me take some pics to show you and you can form your opinions from there.... That is a car I definately miss.....was the fastest damn kustom I have ever driven....it was especially fun kicking the **** out of the 3 kids in their '03 Mustang GT....ahahaha
damn dude. When you told me you had that car chopped by cole I didn't picture that. That thing is INSANE. I don't know how you brought yourself to sell it. I'd a cried myself to sleep for the next 3 days.
3 days?? try 3 weeks............and I still am not over that car, or the merc for that matter....both were sold solely out of necessity.
sorry it took me so long to view/respond, i'm on the road and at a holiday inn business center (computer) in phoenix, it takes me a while to get online each day and view the hamb, but copper/red metallic suede sounds fuggin' awesome!!! i don't know why, but it never occured to me to do a matellic suede... please try to get some pictures of that thing and post 'em for us. thanks bro. tred.
Somebody copy Cole's car,,,NO Way...Why would they?..lol RoadDevil- That car rocked!..That was one of my all time favorites...It was in a cl*** of its own esp since soo many of them are all starting to look alike. Dirty
Did that car used to be suede black wth a gold flake top ? If it is I did the grille, taillights and some shaving on it.
Yes KC, it did....belonged to Flip "Deadfast33" on here....I had originally bought it from him when I lived in Reno.
