59 Bel Air 98% done & now with *pics*!!

Hellfish,

The fuel gauge was for you, but I see you have it all worked out.

 

Very nice. That car is beautiful in every aspect, Your girl did a outstanding job on the interior. I have always had a thing for the 59-60 chevy's, but yours blows me away. great job.

Wow Hellfish, that's great !
Nice colors, nice knobs !
I'm looking forward to see it in real when I'm back to Chicago !

 

Great idea! I wish more guys did this!

Most of the build up pics are on my dead computer and inaccessible for now

when I first brought it home... the picture hides all the horrors... completely rotten front end, rockers, floors, quarters, trunk... oh yeah, and that pesky ant colony



here it was at the Pileup last year




here's what it looked like on the way to Abomber30s shop...




early Spring 2005
after some body work and sanding





after the first primier/block sanding party




painted bits and pieces




lines taped off




57Wagon with the gun... me with no mask. The base coat looked great just as it was, and we talked about leaving it as just the base... but i had a VISION...




FLAKE!!! candy came later





at the 05 Cheaters' show before polishing/lowering/interior/etc and all the trim/valances were installed



I love head

 

Awesome car. I like the posts better than the hardtops.
'59 Chevys are one of my favorite cars.
