That, my friend, is a great score. Really solid looking, and the paint and bodywork is already done! The Fleetlines are one of my favorite cars....
Pre painting with a brush is your best bet.
HOLY CRAP! THAT THING IS INCREDIBLE!
You NAILED it! The quality of the work is amazing. I should have gone overkill on the bracing like you did. I ended up with a bad gap on the door...
Just got off the phone with Alex at Gambino. Instead of trying to sell me something, he spent 15 minutes giving me information and ideas for me...
The Mopar guys call this "The Leaning Tower of Power"
Mere words can't describe how cool your collection is! This made my day.
I'm likin' the CLR treatment. Still got tons of character, but the blue is prettier than orange and brown. I LOVE your car by the way, you got lucky.
I have had two sets of Coker bias plys. They drove down the road at 80 with no vibrations. But after a couple years or so, the whitewall starts...
Nason is Dupont's(axalta) lower priced paint line. It doesn't always match the chromabase paint chip, but it's a small price to pay for avoiding...
I'm able to build a mini c-notch for my '53, but right now, I'm lazy, busy, and in a hurry. Does somebody make a mini c-notch kit specificly for a...
I'm 6 ft and was uncomfortably close to the wheel. It's super easy to modify the seat tracks 2" back. That was enough for me. [ATTACH]
49-54s are the perfect starting point for any build! They do 50's Kustom, 60's Kustom, Gasser, Bomb, stock, ANYTHING. Here's mine. 4" chop, 3"...
That thing is drop dead SEXY! Supremes for sure.
The car or the girl? They're both sa-weet.
That red '59 is KILLER. One of the best scallop jobs ever. I would definitely call that sectioned one "Radical". Not sure it was an improvement....
In 1965, when I was 5, my uncle Albie had a white '59 Ranchero that he used to haul his motorcycles to the races with. I've liked them since...
I ordered the Tri Five kit. The Car Store gave me the dimensions of the pieces, and it looks like they are the same two parts. I'll let you know...
I was wondering if the Tri fives would work or not. Different vendors that sell both pre and post tri five stuff, list 53/54 as their own...
Tried to install my new Taiwan horn ring this weekend. The center base is almost twice as thick as stock. That makes everything bottom out and...
That looks really, REALLY good! Killer job on the photo shop, some of the best I've seen.
I got my new horn ring from National Chevy Association for the '53. When I installed it, it didn't move. I put the original one back on, it worked...
I didn't read the whole thread, so maybe Porky's in Des Moines was already mentioned. Saturday and Wednesday were Cruise Nights. It was...
The disc brake conversions for the 55-64 Chevys have always pissed me off. When the front tires get pushed to the outside lip of the fenders, it...
Chopped four doors are just cool. The 49/51 Mercs do it really well.
Save it from decomposing anymore. It hasn't seen a garage in 30 years, and there could come a day when the amount of sheet metal that needs...
If any of you guys are serious, email me. When the cars start comin' out this spring, I'll track the guy down and get his info and price. Sure...
My favorite Custom at the 2015 Greaserama. My Brother checkin' out the car phone.[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
My 2 cents.[ATTACH]
It's been for sale off and on for years. I never thought to ask because I was so horrified by the car, that the price didn't matter. No, I'm not...
