Started working on the damaged front wing. I decided to replace the damaged metal rather than try to repair it.



Made up a new piece



No going back now

 

Kelvin, You have SKILLS my Man, SKILLS!
Nice work.

Nick.

 

Cheers Nick, just hope the other wing is better

 

Man, I'm sure you can fix it.

Nick.

 

nice work Kelvin, seems you got it all under controll but if I can be any help just let me know.
Can't wait to see it.

 

that is some damn nice metalwork keep it up and love that color !

 

I wish I had your skills! Great job so far.

 

Very neat work !!!

 

Awesome to see another 53 Chieftan some one is hot rodding out! I thought I may be the only one going to do this until I found you in England!! Nice job and I hope to see more..

 

Hey, love your work......and the colour choice!

 

Awesome, I love it. Great work. Give your son a pat on the back for me, I love the fuel door idea.

 

Absolutely freaking gorgeous! Man, you have some unreal metal skills, wish I did! The car looks amazing, and I thought the before pics looked good.

 

I was thinking the same thing.

Excellent build! I'm glad you posted pics of the headers because I needed to see how you had the SBC mounted. I just picked up a 400 for mine.

 

Awsome build and a really cool color

 

Wings..screens...bonnets..."creased right up"...??? Even tho we all speak English, I love the words you guys use...

NIce looking job so far...I hope you bought your son(s) a pint for that gas filler trick...

Great metal fab work...wish I was as good...

R-

 

Looking good Kelvin...now get back in the garage....

 

Any updates?

 

heres a few mor updates.
Started to french the headlights in. Picked up these rings a few years ago but they are a bit small in diameter and the headlight looked to be too deep in the ring.


I cut about 1/2" off and tacked it in



Then made up some filler pieces to blend it in to the fender

 

Look cool mate, any grille hints yet?

 

Kelvin, Very NICE work indeed! I look forward to seeing your Pontiac this year.

Nick.

 

That car is bitchen. I dig the fuel door great idea. How I missed this thread before I have no idea.

I have a buick grill here to try, I am just going to mock a few things up to see what looks the best

 

Looking good Kelvin...

 

Well I just think this one sweet ride. I love Candy Apple Red anyway. How's gettin' around over there with left hand drive? They get around in the Bahamas with left hand drive on the wrong side of the road. Goofy'st thing I ever saw. Nearly all cars there are American and they drive on the British side of the friggin' road .. It'll scare the shit out of ya when ya take a taxi there especially if they decide to pass somebody and you can see shit comin' and they can't ..

 

Great job!

 

Great work, I like the trunk pan. I will have to do the same this spring on my buick. What gauge of sheet metal did you user for the trunk and other areas of the fabrication.

 

i dont know how i have missed this build thread, but keep up the good work. Lookin good
