Projects '54 chevy mild custom

I've been lurking around on here for quite a while now. Decided I should post what im working on. I bought this thing last year it was in "good shape" and "ran well". It ended up being very far from that. Got it in the garage and started going through and redoing pretty much everything.


Ended up getting some steel wheels and some whitewalls and 53 Cadillac caps. Lowered it 3-4 and cleaned up the whole chassis/did all the lines, gas tank, and brakes.


then the body work started. new floors, lower quarters, tail pan, and some fender work. someone had done some real quality work on this car in the past...









That's all for right now. Ill get some more pictures tonight

 

A few more. Lots of body work recently. Almost ready for some primer. And a little preview of what I'm working on interior wise

 

Cool

 

Great start. Keep it coming!

 

Nice start!!!

 

Hell, it doesn't look so bad! Interested to see where this is headed!

 

Thanks guys. It wasn't thaaaat bad, but still lots of cleaning up and sanding. Wish I had taken more pictures of all the patch panels I did. Oh well. Next time

 

Look's good, post more picture's

 

I'm going to look through my old phone to try and find more pictures.

 

well I didn't find many more pictures. another shot of the finished floor pans. frenching the headlights and the quarter patch panels.

 

Got some primer on the car tonight

 

Nice work. Slow and steady.

 

Looks like very nice work.

 

Blocked out the roof and dash. sprayed some silver base tonight.

 

Looks good so far

 

very nice work.

 

Thanks everyone

 

Went to the paint store today. Changed my mind on the base color. Went with a gold. The. Some "cherry bomb" candy with a little extra gold flake

 

It's no paint booth but I try to do the best with what I have

 

Looking good! What color for the lower body?

 

Thanks. White for the rest of the car

 

Yeahhh!!!!!!

 

Kustoms are king its looking good

 

Love the paint that red and gold flake is going to look great against the white and chrome.
Godspeed

Not much of an update but taped off and blocking the rest of the body. Paint this weekend. And a shot of my 54 Packard pacific that's in front. The long term project

 

Nice work! What's the plan for tail lights on the Packard?
