Well I finally bought[for 650 dollars] a project I had been looking for for a few months...[now if I can really get any work done on it!] -thats another story!its a 59 chevy Panel....soon to be "windowed" down the side -ala- suburban. I want to lower it drastically and chop the top-3-4" maybe even 'cap" the roof skin some too.Frame clip and hi speed rear swap on mostly orig frame. My plan is for a two year build time to make a "replacement family driver"[sort of a HAMBER's version of an S.U.V ]out of this....I had no Idea how hard the "Sub's" are to find at a decent price! We have a 2000 Alero- that will be mostly worn out by that time -[and I'll be Damned] if I'll buy a new car at that time!. My main reson for this post is that a while back someone posted a pic of a chopped sub of this vintage[I believe in primer] -I would like to see some pics of built Sub's[55-59 only] please.....anyone help me here? Thanks......
Can't wait to see what you will do with that.... Fellow HAMB'er Lordz Of Kustomz has one or had one......here is a pic ......clean
i think your refering to Drew's (Abomber30) primered sub. damn i wanted that thing. lets see if i got a pic......
Me and No7a were photochoppin subs up last spring but came to the conclusion that anything worth havin around here was equally too expensive. There's a*****load of tops and glass available in local yards here tho!
That's about what mine looked like when I got it. Spent about 4 years of spare time on it and have been driving it for about 12 years. My vote (not that I have one ) is keep it as a panel. My kids spent a lot of time growing up in the back of mine and they still grew up fairly normal
When I was first really wanting to get an old vehicle project years ago, I wanted nothing more than an Advance Design panel. They were all too expensive and far away, though. 3 years later I still wish I had been able to get one...the aftermarket for those trucks is a MILLION times better than the aftermarket for any Chrysler product. Ohwell
No the one I saw here was chopped [about3]and slammed with 18 or so wheels....[only traditional] -I tried to get that one from Drew- but I lost out to a falcon wagon trade......called the guy who has it now and it was too hi for me....like your panel with flames [new guy]- but Im done with panels....[old man with vision loss!] Kinda hung on which frt clip to install -the 59 with quad lights or the 56 with single-7's-I have em both......
I think the one your talkin bout is kustombuicks bosses burb.Its purple primer,chopped with 18"directionals on it.I lost it on my ol'computer.Boones has pics of it.......Shiny
Which HAMBer wanted to put a 56 Caddy front clip on one of those? I thought that was a novel idea.....
seems like Drew had a more modern version of one he painted for a friend. i think it was chopped. let me check the archives.....
