51 Styleline Special 4dr project

thats some nice work Id step mine if I wasnt so scared or those welds

 

whats the skinny on this car? anymore work done?

 

Keep pluggin away! Waiting patiently for updates.

 

i was spending too much time on the stock stuff and not getting anywhere. sold the wheels and bought m2 suspension. dont freak out i plan on reworking the a arms. just wanted something with most the work done. im getting 10" of travel and it lays on the crossmember with a 27" tall tire



Lifted up


Layed out with the tire turned pas lock

 

boxed it the uppers and motormounts


my $6 u joints for the steering

 

Looking great so far!

 

and the last real work i have done. covers the link bars

 

did some spray can resto on the wheels.

 

i sure like the early 50's chevys....

 

Great project keep up the good work

 

random stuff from a while ago
love the bleeding th350

 

Started making taillights


Molded textured plastic for the lenses

 

Glad to see you're still working on it. Hope Momma didn't get too mad about the plastic in the oven!!

 

it wasnt bad this stuff gets soft below 300deg and i used a small toaster oven not our big oven. it never gave off a smell either.

 

Late to the party. Love them Styleline Specials! Nice work.

 

Glad you decided not to use the boyd wheels...

 

Excellent stance. I like that roof. Needs a haircut, but still great car

 

Are you going green on the body or the same color as the dash? Any plans on shaving the body or leaving things as is?

 

this was just the first shot of dtm primer on the roof and dash. gonna throw the windshields in and drive it for a couple months on weekends. the plan is to do pearl white top and something close to seafoam on bottom. im removing all trim and doing a brown stripe that matches the interior in its place. no chop, sorry... this thing wasn't supposed to get very crazy but i couldnt help it on the taillights

 

Great project, coming along great, love the stance, I've just got a '51 fourdoor too got A lot of work to do before I'm at your stage, would ideally love to airbag the rear of mine and leave the dropped spindles up front. I'm subscribed to this thread for inspiration!!

 

Nice! Looking pretty good!

 

Great work on the old Chevy, I really like 4-doors..

 

some of the tail light work please excuse the lack of bodywork

running light


brake light

 

Lights look cool when lit up, looks good so far man!

 

The tail lights look great...Really custom, and tasteful!
Any ideas for the front?

 

i started tucking the bumper in tighter but thats probably all i will change for now

 

Just found your build! Coming from a 50 build myself, looking awesome, and I am super envious of your skills! Any updates?

 

The tailights look great, where did you purchase the lense material?

 

The material looks like that brittle plastic that's used as a diffuser for commercial fluorescent lighting
