Check out my 54 bel air build thread

are those doors the stock 4 door doors? I'm on my phone and can't really tell.

 

looks awsome next to your dads hot rod ....tell him im sorry for spraying oil all over it coming back from the fall out ....

 

yes they are still the shorter doors . That is a future project to put in the longer true 2 doors. It will be much more involved then just putting doors in and trying to move jams and pillars back. We are going to cut them all out and use everything from a true 2 door body. I have only owned the car for 17 weeks now so i have plenty of time and have to find a nice sold 2 door body to cut up.

 

Thank you .. HAHA yes he told me about that no big deal shit happens at least you made it home !!

 

Turned out great! I really like the bumpers.

 

I thought it looked to be. I like it with the shorter doors.

 

Just a thought, if you find a solid two door body, why not just chop the two door body and then swap bodies? Would be a lot easier to chop the two door body then to cut up both bodies just to accomplish the some result.

 

because there are hours and hours worth of body work on here and this body is very solid would have to fix what ever is wrong with new body as well as chop it and smooth it all out , french it , strip it hope theres no mystries under the paint prime it ect. What about the floors the list goes on

 

nice day for a photo shoot

 

wow car has come along way ....good for you

 

Thank you i here you have something new in the works too

 

sweet ride bro good luck the lower the better

 

Looking good. Got any plans on ride height?

 

Whats up with that original bezel. I thought that was a grease fitting at first. What does that do?

 

eventually will be on bags

 

great job! excellent work.

awesome. thanks man.

 

no problem, checked out your build looking good . like the hood i was thinking about louvering mine

 

the louver punching on it came out in this months issue of Hot Rod Deluxe. took out all the front bracing so we could punch them all the way forward. turned out killer.
