55 chevy kustoms

Are there any good lookin kustom 55 chevy's outthere?
I am building one for a client ,4 dr to 2 dr conversion, we are half way and she is lookin good ( at least I think).
let me know how youlike it (or not)

 

I like it! Beautiful work!

 

The best chopped 55 4 door ever done was Barry Atkins,quad lit chopped 55 from the north east.

 

Moriarity where are you????????
post that blue 55 here bro.

55s were perfect from the factory,I like the 2 door conversion if it looks like a regular 2 door, but thats as far as I would want to alter it.

It will be diffrent, but for my taste I would rather have what you started with but thats just me.

Heres one (not my cup of tea)but somebody has a blue hardtop on here that isnt bad.

 

And there she is!

 

Can't believe that one isn't in the living room yet!-MIKE

 

Thats Barry Atkins car!

 

I like the looks of the 2 door conversion but I don't know if I'm feeling the new revised shape of the C-pillar. Did you cut the roof to use a hardtop windshield, or are you planning to cut the glass for the windshield?

One-piece bumpers should look nice, nothing wrong with shaved trim, I don't understand what's happening to the gas filler door. Also, what are you going to do for parking lights, with the stock holes shaved? The radiused wheelwells front and back are interesting.

 

heres one ,not mine

 

This one is perfect. Wouldn't change a thing.

 

Here is one I just sold off.It was a 4-dr at one time. Tim

 

Saw this down in Seal Beach a few months ago and thought it was perfect.

 

I'll say it before Von Franco does, LOL

Yes thats what I mean, I will post some pics later this week as the car is now, it will recieve a purple Kandy Pearl flake job later on .
keep m comin.
Cheers

 

We made our own C-pillars, the ones in the pic are just for support as we cut the roof , we did a 3"chop and shortened the roof 4", the gas filler door we placed inside the trunk, cut the filler and turn it 180 degrees .
I hate those chunky parklights ,they had to go. (maybe some different eyebrows)
As for the windshield we have somebody make us a new one, we make the mold , I also did a 56 Buick topchop (Scapers Willems car).I tried to cut the glass on the Buick and it worked till it was 3 days in the car ,I went into the shop and and it was broken.it is expensive but it's worth it.
cheers

 

Here a some new pics we did not do much on the the car due to family problems of the client,but hey we are gatting there...

 

The most famous 55 chevy of all!

The car used to be dark green.When it was built,it was a gift for his 18th birthday.Imagine,the kid didn't want it.First saw this car at the first Lead East in '83.

 

This car was built by a very good friend of mine.The car hails from NY,and the builder,has some of the slickest 55 Chevy customs around.Also,has a pretty cool 56 HT too.

There is a roof section that completes the roof, and roll-up windows.
