Check out my 54 bel air build thread

got one of the top 4 link bars covered the sheet metal work is finally coming to an end.

 

Then out comes all the bondo lol

looking good and i bet you cant wait to get her done now

 

Yeah fortunately all the exterior body work is done. It was just all the holes made inside the car. Making it lay frame was the easy part, but making it back into a car again is what takes all the work

 

Looking good man!

nice progress. is your rear seat going to fit back in there with the upper 4 link boxes raised so high? Nice plumbing job in the trunk

 

Yeah, please post what you end up doing with the seat. I'm pondering how to do my rear 4-link without hacking up my backseat.

 

I can only imagine how much work that took to do

i was lucky as i got a pickup lol

 

Working on that next. I can tell you that before I boxed in the bars the seat back fit right back in and clipped in with the car fully aired out. The seat bottom needs alittle trim but its so far back you won't be able to tell. They barely come out p***ed the seat back. Now that I have them boxed there will need to be alittle trim on both pieces. I made the boxes as small as possible height wise to clear the arms. I will be posting pics up soon

 

Cool car, I've always liked the 54

Starting to put car back together. Back seat is back in and functional I know alot of people say u can't use back seat with a 4 link set up. You just have to do some t******* on the seat frame was my seat was already newly covered so Iam sure if u just have a frame you could do the job even better.

 

Back went in fairly easy

 

Seat bottom is what took most of the work I have to trim out the back corners and the whole middle where the driveshaft tunnel comes through

Man this is killer!! Stance is spot on, Bodywork looks *****in, and that trunk setup is clean as ****!

How big of a pain in the *** was frenching the heads and tails?

 

thank you buddy. the headlights took the most work , being that the bulbs still go in from the front and can be adjusted from the front. the back wasnt too bad . frenching is the easy part ,making it come apart easily is where the thought has to come in

 

Car looks great Dirty. Hopefully mine turns out as well.
