Took some newer pics of my car. Since last pics, doors are shaved, top caddy lites shortened, added caddy lites to ford dish lites, back lowered 1 inch more. Thought some HAMBer's would enjoy pics? I'm open for criticism?
Well you said your open to criticism so here it goes..........um........well.........I got nothing .Thats a beautiful car.Nice work,good look.
That type 'a car looks really familiar....... Very nice! Thats the best looking kustomized '59 I've seen yet. -Dean
Yep this one does look great...but there is an old custom that was sectioned and painted blue... My Blue Heaven, I think it was called . That one holds the top spot in my head. But this one is a close second. These cars are just plain hard to customize. Too many hard angles and a bunch of left over chrome from the mid 50's and the boxy style of an early sixies car. Just plain difficult to work with. But you did a great job! Mike
my wife told me a long time ago if I ever brought home a Caddy, Impala or a '59 Ford she'd leave me.....well after seeing your car.....and a lot of thought...oh ' I can't leave her man she got my nuts hangi' from her rear view mirror!! but I love that car man, totally boss!
After looking at this car for hours the only thing I would change is the color of the steelies. I would go with either a white or blue. Its nothing much, but that little red ring can catch your eye.
I like it a lot!Makes me wish I kept the one I bought in 1969 when I was 12 for $1 and used it as a field car.It was pretty solid but no one liked them much then.
Thanks everyone. I kind of went for the 59 , because it's different than what every ones else has. Heres two of the interior. Nothing special. Kind of boring. And one of the motor for the hell of it.
59 .. That car looks great ,,,,,,,,,,, reminds me of mine ,, had it on here a while back, but it didnt sell ........... mine was built in the 60"s, those scallops are almost identical to the ones here .. just took mine for a ride , the first since the 302 was installed .. now thinking bout driving it more .. will try to attach a pic of my rust bucket ..............
I never really thought these cars were too boxy or odd looking, they look great to me! Heres a pic of my car, at the bottom of this page: http://members.aol.com/cgearannex/ROTRShow2005.html It used to have a 223 in it but it got a 429 last fall. -Dean
Looks good. Your right about how close the scallops look. I was going to scallop the roof this fall too. I've also been thinking about a V8, but there's something just cool about a straight 6. I always told people when the 6 lets go I will do the swap. But then all those same people say the 6 will never go. The motor in mine is from a 262 Ford Econoline truck.
