never seen this before!!

96 Olympics, here in Atlanta..........................It was a Mylar applique, only shinier.................I eyeballed it quite a bit.

 

I gotta say with my addiction to shiny I like it! idunno though i think it would be better if it was totally chrome

 

Was this guy drivin it? I like body lines to flow, just cause you can chrome a gas door or fender doesnt mean you should! This truck dont look bad though?

 

I agree, I am not sure I like it, but it is definatly bad-***.

 

If it's Spectra Chrome, it should be turning yellow and peeling off within a month. That **** is a flucking joke.

 

No you don't. I can never get my own stuff done. Maybe a big shop with all the nice equipment to start off with $$$.

I like the truck, but it would flow better if the hood were chromed and the tailgate wasn't. It would take some mighty large tanks to chrome the fenders. A lot of tanks for bumpers would be too narrow.

 

Guess he likes chrome

 

Reminds me of the NA$CAR team that ran chrome body panels on a Collonade-style Olds Cutl*** for a couple of races one season. Weird as hell! Drivers were obviously getting blinded by the car, so they were forced to pull it after (I think) two races, was all.

Don't know if I'd want to drive anything with THAT much chrome, such as that Effie.

 

the 430 was the top ford motor going back then

 

I sort of dig the look and would certainly take a good long second look at the truck wherever I saw it, but wouldn't do it to my own. And certainly the motor is cool. Glad you took the pics and posted them.

And if it is that stupid spray chrome, then I take it all back...

 

That looks terrible!!!! More isn't always better....

 

Yeah, and he sold the Miller Shop Truck to Poteet... both those *******s go away with deals.

 

Retarded

 

I would like chrome bumpers and a grill for my 54 AD but then again you could call me old fashioned !

 

Amen brother! I called my chopped,channeled. sectioned GMC in my avatar the "Chromed *****" till saw this truck. it has chromed GMC grill with a m***ive chromed 52 De Soto bumper and Chromed 54 stude headlight bezels

 

The 430 was the top M-E-L engine then - it was never available in a Ford!

 

More than likely Spectra chrome stuff. You know the Gravedigger stuff.

 

If that's real chrome, I guess there's no bondo in those fenders, huh?

 

maybe a chrome wrap like darrell waltrip used on his western auto chrome car?

 

why not? ...but... i wouldn't do that to mine!

 

There was a guy around Portland we called Chromy George that did that back in the early 70s. He was a member of the NWPCA (push car ***osiation) when I was active in circle track. It was a 56 ford like that and was at a couple of Portland Roadster Shows back then.

 

does anyone read the entire thread? the guy who owned it said it was done over 20 years ago, it's not spectra chrome then, if it was going to peel in a month, it would have peeled 19 years and 11 months ago. it looks to be more of a low rider style, except it's not an inch off the ground.

 

Actually it was available as an option in the 1959-1960 Thunderbird engine code "J".

 

The only words that come to mind are "polished tird" !

 

Ugly

 

One things for sure on that truck, no flash needed on any pics in the Sun, get welders burn on that one. Can't imagin what he's got in that thing $$$$ wise.

Michael

 

yuck

 

thats one big,,,,,,CHROMENUT

 

Build what you want. But I'd NEVER do it.

 

Yup, I do stand corrected, forgot about that one!
