[ATTACH] That pic doesn't do this paint justice. I shot it (link below) last year, 2022 in November at the Day of the Dead car show, Glen Avon...
Thanks, much appreciated. Yes, I've spoke with him on here a few times. One of my favorites for sure.

New grill installed, F I N A L L Y [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Yep, early 70's to now. His name is Jerry. He used to live/have a shop in Long Beach, but he's since relocated to Lake Elsinore. Supper cool guy,...
Updates: With a lower stance now. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Next up, some body work and Glory Grill install. [ATTACH] It'll look like this when...
Just the different angle and solid color IMHO.
Thanks!
That's the mid 60's vibe I'm going for with my '55. Most do'm up pro-street or gasser. [ATTACH]
Updated with a lower stance since last time I posted. Front is static, rear has bocks/helper bags to get me in and out of my steep driveway, etc....
Hahaha! That's awesome.

[IMG] Thanks appreciate that!
Thanks, Man. Appreciate the props.
I wish I could find some pix of someone running them that way, haha!
Thanks. It seems to me that the rear portion of the sweeping wheel well allows you to tuck the pipe up and in at an angle, whereas mine would have...
That's probably because of its current stance. This is a photoshop I did of what it will look like when I finish the suspension and get the entire...
Thank you. Really trying to get that mid 60's vibe that I saw as a young child in Van Nuys. And yes, tri 5's w/ Torq-Thrust wheels (or oversized...
I know traditionally that bellflowers are more common on a '56 Chevy as well as many other makes/models with a sweeping rear wheel opening....
Thanks. Yeah, I'm very lucky. Good bones to start with anyway as I'm making a lot of changes. That being said, as you're probably well aware...
Thank you.
Thanks ;)
Wow, great history and eye candy in this thread. I've posted mine before but not in here. Not really a Hot Rod, but some others aren't, so I hope...
