Customs Ron Hings custom 56 Chevy convert

Congrats @Moriarity the Tangerine Dream is quite the Looker and looks like the builder was like minded...it's pretty clean inside and out, wow...

The worn arm, hard metal versus soft...perhaps some grease or lube may minimise that...it happens to fasteners as well...could you harden that by heating and quenching in oil?

Not really sure if it would make a difference...maybe...

 

@Moriarity , Hey buddy, did you need a space to keep that boat?

 

I hope this hasn't been asked yet but how is the boot secured for driving? Snaps, tie downs or is it snug enough to stay put?

 

Done 57 years ago and still looks brand new! Love the back end. Congratulations!

 

I never noticed all of the can lights before. Looks like a car show.

 

Yes BUT if you can make a car look good under florescent or LED bulbs they look amazing outside or under incandescent lighting. Most of my home is can lit but some of them are 25 feet up and burning out after 15 years. I need to rent one of those lift things and replace them all.

Maybe we should add that to the "garage or shop" thread, if it has can lights it's a garage!

 

yep totally agree with getting a car to look good under florescent's.

 

Sounds about perfect to me!

 

Mark I can't think of a better caretaker for that car! You'll treat her right!

 

I sound like a broken record on this thread but I’m enamored with this car…must be the Chrysler parts!

 

So we can all see it in Indy in June.

 

This car just speaks to me, as much as I appreciate your other two, in my mind they come nowhere close to this car. I would absolutely love to own this car!

 

thats sweet, I also see some blow ups of a Miss Elegance article, those look great on the wall. I blew up the R&C cover, but now you got me thinking I need to do the full article.

 

Plus the orange paint job is truly exceptional,just fits the car so well and the tuck and roll dash pad is choice too!

 

Tasty!

 

Just lookd at the whole thread.Congrats,beautiful car.Old skool is kool skool!

 

I’m thinking more and more I need to swing by @Moriaritys on the way to Lloyd’s next year. I HAVE to see this car.

 

Awesome write up for the car! Canted quads on all 3, under one roof yet. Love your screen name - ''Futurian''

 

Very cool write up! I am glad to see this car getting back out in the world, such a neat car that was hidden away for far too long.

 

Hmm that is interesting to see that it was still painted blue as of 65. So sometime between that show and then when it was photographed for the Popular Custom's magazine in 66, it was painted the emerald green.

Also I think that photo adds to why every old timers memory around here confuses Hing's car and Taboo. They were almost (if not) the same shade of blue.
