Customs 53 Chevy Full Custom: A Build Journal

...

 

I believe some 52-54 lincoln inits, low on the fenders ala hirohata would look great and complement the bumpers , just my 2 cts

 

i was planning on 55 plymouth units on my 53 i think theyd work well on the earlier rear qauters youve spliced in.

 

I put 54 Mercs on my 52. Loved the way it looks.

 

We are very happy to have a talented bodyman/fabricator like Mr. Pete here. Hopefully you can finish up welding and bring it up here to get blasted!

 

Hey I know working on someone else's car all day can wear you out and rug rats take time to. Are you gonna drive that car to the Round Up this year man good luck keep on grinding and welding !

 

Wow, great build and awesome story behind the car. Very cool Gene did the chop!Just read through the entire build and I am inspired by your build style. Great work.

 

I am partial to the Lincoln taillights, but the other look is badass too.

My favorite thing about the picture is the eyebrow over the tail light lense, and the body line it flows from. I believe adding a subtle body line like that to the quarter panel would do wonders, in addition to a trick tail light treatment.

 

I don't know how I've missed this thread over the last two years. This is an AWESOME project. Really great work.

 

I read this whole build 2day! Most triumphant! I'm subscribed! Such awesome work and awesome progress!

Are you going to run the stainless trim around the front window? If so are you going to modify it since you removed the belt line?
