nice work, car looks awesome already. cant wait to see the finished product. that chop is about perfect IMO. an early 50s chevy is high on my list for future projects (but il porb just build what i can get cheap). keep up the good work. inspiring my to go out to the shed an work on my chevy(27)

 

looks awesome man, I wish I had your talent and vision, keep up the good work

 

great build

 

Those quarters are gonna look rad!

 

Dude awesome work. the rear quarter are my favorite part. It's one of those things that I had tossed around when I was looking to build my '54. Looks killer!!!

 

on those pic of you doing the belt line i don't see any warping do you do it very slowly and far apart because it looks perfectly straight to me but then again its 7 a.m on a sat and these pics are my morning coffee
this would make a great video on how you id such a nice patch i havn't work on my car this winter but boy theses pics got my blood pressure pumping

 

Welcome Back! great update.

 

Nice ideas and execution on this. Keep it coming.

 

all that you have done looks killer!!! you have come a long way from the beginning... at first i was like man straight '53... then the other pics... OH NO!! ... now BAD ASS!! i love it...

 

Ben followin' your "BUILD THREAD" couple months now.........I no what you said, why you bought two parts cars!, But tha' TOP,......Looked GOOD! on the BUILD CAR! (Joke!)...........You said U were Pissed, when you dug into all that rust-out an Bondough, But I'm pissed!, because, WE have SAME notions, as far as, the WAY, we want our CARS to LQQK LIKE!!!! (nother' jokin' thing).......l.At least, you're turnin' UR taillites UPSIDER-Downers. And I'm extending exiting finders.....NOT, to give you any Ideas!
ENjoying the "BUILD", "KEEP ON, KEEPIN' ON " Smokey, Smilin'

 

The quarter swap is a very cool idea... blur the lines a bit so you have a '52 1/2 Chevy! While you in there movin' metal around have you considered dropping the tail lights a couple of inches (just because I can't leave well enough alone )?

I'm really enjoying following this build. Thanks!

I am liking the rear end treatment ! It will flow great with the rest of the build nice work!

 

+1

Nice work!

 

2nd that nice work

 

Amazing

 

i like the length it adds to the profile of the car, comparing to the original that next to the new side seems to stop short. great eye.

 

...

 

very nice build keep it up


cheers

 

any new updates???

bro I really really dig the direction of this build!!! I love the quarters, cant wait to see it all put back together!!! and the removal of your belt line looks rad, that took some serious balls to do!!! not easily fixed if you didnt like it

 

Real nice build! Belt line looks real good, as do the rear quarters.

 

You cant go wrong following a Paul Bragg styling cue!! Cant wait to see some up dates!

 

Way way above my head, but very very impressive...
Awesome work, and great ideas.
Thanks for sharing...
Cheers,
