  1. I have this task in my future too on my shoebox.

  2. Honestly it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, but I only replaced a section of mine. They didn't turn out perfect by any means, but there's solid metal there now where there used to be smashed rusty metal. Some of the filler I couldn't even chisel out, I had to use a wire wheel to clean everything up prior to installing the new pieces.

  3. 20240720_113803.jpg 20240720_113030.jpg update: got a 64 t bird rear seat here for it! Lol I guess I'm going full medium kustom with it. I also have a trunk lock assembly and tail light assemblies from a 53 meteor customline for it. Also going to change up the steering setup for 56 lincoln premiere column and wheel. On top of that I gotta add AC. Baby Henry is due in 2 weeks and I gotta be able to take him to shows and cruise with him and the wife.

He might just have the 54 plymouth grille I saved for this customline hanging on his wall. Hank gets my vote for coolest baby room ever. And his mother gets my vote for being legit being a mom to a hot rod kid.

  5. If you get a mom to go along with decorating the baby room like that.... KEEP HER!!

  6. Nice job on the baby's room. The changing table/tool box is very practical actually. All the best to your family with the new baby on the way.

    I like the term "full medium kustom"

  7. Still haven't given up on this one. There's more to come. I messed up a couple weeks ago and scrubbed the rear tire against the curb parallel parking and messed up the White wall. Now my friend group is joking about how I need curb feelers. But the ol gal is still my daily driver. I'm working on saving up to throw windshield wipers on, but it's still here. 20250213_153041.jpg

    Yep, what he said. And, I have fixed scuffed whitewalls by wet sanding them before too.
