Nice stuff, I love that, have any build pictures? How many hours do you have in tht?

 

thank you!! i got more hours than i care to count lol i started with a rough one but i love doing custom sheetmetal and i wanted to save it from the crusher! its been on hold lately, been gathering parts and running gear! heres when i brought it home!

 

Wow, nice work, you did save that puppy!!

 

I LOVE IT!

so tell us more about that grille surround?

Looks like a 58/59 t-bird mixed with a 52 merc??

very very nice bro!

and the recessing of the headlight bezels looks very organic!

no stick on afterthought going on

 

How about some quads set into a scoop in the fender? That seems to be an uncommon way to do it.

 

Billetproof NW 2011 HAMBer "BOONES" took these

 

Love it! Will add som Swedish 60's customs here soon. Was very popular with canted quads in Sweden in the 60's and early 70's

 

Any build pictures out there?

 

Do these count??

 

YES! do you have any build pictures, was this built in the late 650's?

 

According to a magazine I have from 1984, this car was built in 1958 and ressurected sometime in the early 80's by a dude named Barry Atkins.. Some seem to think the car was originaly built by George Liddle from Chicago . The car was painted Heavy Flake Teal and may have been Named " Barracuda"???? the jury is still out on this one...

 

How do you end up with it?

 

I traded some Money for it

 

Now when you speak of it,, how about this !! Still alive !!

 

Good trade!! Thought it may have been in the family. I love that look on the 55!

 

that 55 is the bee's knees!

I'll keep an eye out for it in the little pages!

 

Mine came right from the factory, but they're still canted quads. Like if horn rimmed glasses were a car. Love the look.

 

I believe the story behind this car was that this car was a graduation present or something to a kid from his father, his father bought it and sent and out to get customized and when he unveiled it the kid didnt like it. I may be wrong...I think CHOPMERC on here knows the story better.

 

4 door -2 door conversion?

 

Yup, here's the build thread on it.
