Done as Im gonna do it

Well, after a few minor set backs, and plenty of rain, I finally got the bomb drivable.
Here it is, just have to stripe the hood, pop some more trim on and at some point get the interior done....but that don't hinder driving it

Thanks to all who shared your input and especially Alex Gambino and Phil (RustyPipes)








When I got it

 

Nice, I like the bullnose trim strip.

 

That Is Bad Ass Ma. I Really Like It. The Gold And Black Is Really Nice Looking.

 

home run!!!

 

Looks freakin' awesome Will!! Congrats....for now. I'm loving the color of that paint.

 

Oh yeah....that's it. Looks good. Where did you get the chrome strip for the center of your hood?

 

Car looks awesome Will, you did a kickass job. Now get in a drive the hell out of it, Phil

 

Done is right! I've enjoyed watching your progress, now go have some fun!

 

Awesome job! Looks like its gonna be a lot of fun!

 

I LOVE that gold and black, with the Black on the top...nice reversal, man...car looks great.

 

looks great ! whats the interior gonna look like ?

 

Nice....

 

That thing is one of the nicest '51 around, hope to see it in person some time.

 

looks tight man

 

The car looks great man congrats. I love the pinstriping.

 

Awesome car. Nice use of license plates as asphalt depth guages .

 

Thanks guys.....it's nothing crazy, but I think it's tastefull anyhow....
The red flake on the roof pops pretty nice in the sun, but the cam cant pick it up....

52 STVBLT: The bull nose came from night prowlers ... $30 bucks

37Hotrod......Those plates become toe cutters if you happen to be standing to close on air out

 

May have missed an earlier post on this but what's under the hood? Photos, if you have any, would be great.

 

Just the stocker 216....split exhaust....so far thats it....Its slow and low

 

looks tasty.
I dig them mild customs.

 

looks great man, nice ride!

 

Dayum... That is one sweet ride you got there man.

 

Nothing wrong with that. My 56 210 still has the stock 235 and a 'glide.

 

Very cool. I suggest black diamond tuck for the interior.

 

most excellent, i love the pinstriping/paint scheme.

 

Hey man, damn good job. Git your ass down here so we can cruise it around a bit. Hopefully I'll see you at the Road Agents show or somehting in the area.

 

Would love to, I was actually thinking of heading to the Rumblers show in NY...probably taker me 2 days to get there but what the hell

 

Hey if ya do you're welcome to stay at our place. That show rocks, maybe I'll have a friend to park next to Def check out the Road Agents in East Hartford Conn if you haven;t already. Great show and wouldn't be too bad a ride I don't think.

 

Cool deal, I'm gonna try to get a few miles on it this weekend to see how it goes....if it feels good, Ill definitely try to make it.

 

Just wanted to give you a "well done"...love the stance and the no-chop-top.
