Are you getting new windows made? If you don't mind me asking it'd be cool to get an idea of what that cost. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
I'm going to cut the glass myself, gonna try the blast cabinet method. But I'm still looking for some one with the rubber and glue for it for the rubber. I ended up keeping the drip rails what I di was actually welded in a piece of round bar and gave them like a ramp look I looks really god with the way the quarters mold in to the body line and sails panels also.
sorry guys nothing really worth posting just a lot of sanding these cars don't have a straight line to work from so its curve after curve sanding in every direction tryint o make it even and maintain flow will get some pics up soon gonna start frenching the headlights just trying to figure out what style grille I wanna run on it I really like the olds but just not sure.
Just found someone posted my car on here with all the cars I studied over and over. It feels good when your hard work gets noticed. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Graceful chop on what is a pretty clumsy looking car to start with. Completely changes the character of the coupe. Good eye! I used to have a '48 Dodge coupe, which I never really "connected with", so I'm glad to see them getting some attention. I'd probably like mine better now… Brian

Started a new rear splash pan more of a organic flow to it. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
You are moving along at a good pace. Frenching the headlights is a lot more work than it appears when you start. Rear pan looks good.
Its all a pain in one way or another just gotta keep motivated. Your project is coming along also duke. I'm gonna put a 350 in mine also after I finish the grille and head lights Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Working on my grill opening today trying to get a feel for what I want to do with it. Started by bending up lots of tube in different ways till I was happy. Ended up rolling the tube with the entire front end and kept the peak from the hood and it will end towards the bottom of the surround I made. Will have more tomorrow.

man that splash pan looks real cool. whats your plan with the grille? are you going to use the stock grille bars in that opening?
Thinking about it. Was thinking to section the bottom bar that wraps around/ sectiong were i can. Gotta still play with it a little bit and figure out hat i what i really like all thechrome so not sure yet what to do. Will prolly section all the little ones to make em' taper up andhave a cool look we'll see when i get to that mountain really feeling a knobgrille tho.
Opening Kinda has a resemblance to Olds or Pontiac.......to me. I personally like the original grille as it goes with the peak, or point, of the hood. You could do some mods as you mentioned earlier.
The new opening also flows with the hood and comes to a peak. I'll try to get a better shot. Thanks for you input Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
I've been working on molding my fenders got the passenger side done Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Getting the glass laid out and cut before paint making sure I don't need any adjustments. Cutting my stock stuff as templates for new stuff. Think bout maybe a bronze toned glass. What you guys think? Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Are you going to put the car back in the original color it was before it was chopped? What exactly is that, by the way, hard to discern via the internet? If so, then yes, I would think the bronze toned glass would look great.
