So i have this 55 Commander that will some kustomtreatment during the winter. Have a modified and badly kustomized 53-54 frontend. Got rear fenders with bigger wheelopenings. Also got a couple of 1956 golden hawk fiberglass fins that will be modified aswell. Thinking about light quanted headlights. Fins will be modified with 1960 caddy taillights. Here is some of my plans
I love it! The '60 Caddy tail lights will look great. Please do a build thread, and let us know as you progress.
it survived until recently when the car sold on Craigslist, then a few weeks later the front clip was advertised by the new owner because he was going to restore the car back to stock.... what a shame
Here's a couple Stude-a-ma-Baker trucks with the quad treatment... Hmmm... I could do this to mine...
I don't remember if ever saw an image of this kustom named "The Chinaman" completed or if it ever was but they sure had a good start on it. Would've been a good looking car.
Way back around 1970, there was a root beer brown metallic '55 Nomad running around my native Athens, Ohio, with vertical quads and no other mods whatsoever. This car had some 5 3/4 inchers mounted below the original 7" lamps. It was awesome to our 10 year old brains, as there was a Hot Wheels Nomad that had a similar headlight treatment at the time, and was always a topic of discussion when seen. "Hey, I saw the Nomad today, up on Second Street...."
Apparently growing my beard out isn't taking up enough of all this spare time I have on my hands these days... coupled with
Very cool. I see you have the original buckets to work with. I need a pair of 58 Lincoln buckets to do the same.
O.K., so... after being inspired by this sight, I used some of the extra time I have... I am almost half way done with giving my truck bi-focals;
Another productive day... Still have to finish grind the welds and re-wire the lights, but I'm gettin' there!
