Dig the 100 dollar bill for effect lol. Gangsta:cool:
Right on Zach! Did you put a SM420 back in it am I seeing that correctly?
The attention to detail and ‘correct’ parts make this one my current favorite. It REALLY shows when you don’t half ass anything. Great work Brent...
Hey Brent great post and info on the latest ‘treatment’ for mag wheels. That NAPA brand squirt bottle really got the job done they look great!!...
Was just thinking about this car the other day, glad to see you’re on it again. Damn man, sorry to hear about your back. That’s brutal. Your car...
If you have to ask why everyone runs this engine you’re dismissed. I’m not even gonna try to explain this one. [ATTACH] My ‘other’ engine lol....
Nah don’t worry about it, that rear suspension was a great call. You gained tons of tire clearance and adjustability. Great work! Also, I like...
Okay so, forgive my gloating, but I can’t describe the feeling of joy I got when I pulled these out of the Wheelsmith boxes. I don’t even wanna...
Moriarity gets it^^ I knew I liked that guy lol. Your cars are so bitchin, man. So bitchin. Love that 61.
Yep, elegant is a good word to use for any 59-60 GM car. I would gladly own any make, any model. 59-60 Poncho especially. I’m thinking the wheels...
Beautiful car!! Great colors too. I agree, chrome reverse with pinstripe or semi-wide whites. If I had your ‘60 Bonneville I’d find a set of...
Been working on this one for about 2 years. Sat in a barn for decades in Nebraska, PO just put lipstick on it to sell it, it was wrecked...
Outstanding update! Outstanding photos and film too!! I hope Ben Kahan makes another video on this car, progress update or something for his...
This car is a piece of art, and that^ version of Project X will NEVER go out of style. Great work Rex, your car is fantastic and dead-on accurate...
Take it to March Meet or if there are any 'reunions' still going on, make some passes with it. That car is outstanding!! Especially since it was...
Thanks buddy. Glad to hear you already maxed out a credit card on it!! Lol that's how it all starts. If you dig mine, you'll dig these too. These...
Nice work again, looks great!! But... A D60 does not dwarf a 9.3 Olds/Pontiac. Not even close. The guts of a 9.3 are massive by passenger car...
Very impressive. From what you started with to this:cool:
You have some unbelievably kool stuff. I'm in awe. A double take isn't enough for all that greatness!! Chrome reverse everywhere!
Bump [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Great photos. Especially the ones with you, wife and kiddo. How many of those cars have automatics?? Looks just like a SEGA race!
So if you wanna find out what's 'correct' for your car and plans, buy some old magazines. Popular Hot Rodding is my favorite rag from that era....
Outstanding work, Rex!!! Earlier comment about ppl RUNNING to see this car is absolutely true. I'd probably break my neck or crash my car if I saw...
Sub'd. That photo of your grandparents is classic. Back when blue collar ppl had real class. Brand new suit, brand new chebby. He makes me look...
Justin, When did John L. Crockett pass away? Amazing you were able to get ahold of his old scrapbook and that jacket! Any other stuff from his...
Since it's below the OP to answer any questions the unknowing audience might have, ie guys who don't obsess over Gene Winfield, I'll break this...
Wow. GREAT post @Jimmy B Taken 15 minutes before the accident occurred...dayum:(
One of the coolest 57's I have EVER seen:cool: About 100,000 times cooler than the real project X at this point, ain't that a shame lol. Nice work...
Much respect for buying some hammers and teaching yourself how to do it:cool:
Yes^^. Everything else is so spot-on it seems a shame to put radials on it but, I get it. The 'correct' tires are at least 250 bucks each.
