Hot Rods Scallops, White Walls, Pipes, Hub Caps & the Chrome Back on - What do you think?

Finally put the trim back on this weekend, Abe and Tony at San Diego Rod and Custom got the side pipes, hub caps and tires on, and I was able to snap a few shots in the sun.

What do you think of the finished product?!

 

Looks good, love the green. Are you planning on lowering it any?

 

When I finally get some more money together, I'd like to lower it 2", get everything rechromed, do the interior....etc

 

Sweeet ride! Luv it!!

 

That look really sweet.

 

Looks pretty good from here.

 

very cool!

 

Looks good, just needs to be dropped a few!

 

Looks good but I agree it needs to be dropped a few inches.

 

Badass, love the mid-50's pontiacs. As stated, I think it just needs a drop maybe play around with some kinda custom grill. I wanna do a 55 Pontiac with a 54 chevy grill one day.

 

Sweet, but I think I'd have to agree on the drop. The sidepipes are killer.I'd love to have one of these old '50s tanks to play with- maybe someday.

 

cool like but need to drop, i cut coil and 1/2 on front,back might go with 2"lowering block,and still can run stock shocks, i run my 56 2 door and still get fare ride.
love those Pontiacs

 

The latest OSR has a 55 (Starchief? I think) spread in it. Pretty cool, worth checking out.

 

Looks good! Lake pipes are on my to-do list for my Chieftain.

 

nice, subtle and clean...get her closer to Mother Earth and she'll be perfect...nice ride

 

That's an interesting grill option. I've been toying with the idea of a '57 Chev grill, but I'm not sure if it would fit without more modifications than I have the skill for.

 

looks cool. slam the dog shit outa it and roll.

 

Looks great! Very clean! You should be proud.

 

I think it looks Bloody GREAT!

 

...and this is what it would look like

 

Looks good,slam that F***er start layin frame and then your totally boss.

 

That's a good look.

 

Hell ya, I believe that one has been own by Mike Ness in times past. Ive never seen any real clear pix like that though. Looks even better than i thought. I want it just like that except with a deep midnight blue with a little metalflake in it. Killer.

 

sweet ride man, it will look badass lowered.

 

sweet ride, I love the scallops. Not too obnoxious but still get the job done.

 

Thanks guys, I appreciate all the comments. Its in my plans to drop it 2" in the future, and finish the interior, rechrome the bumpers, etc - just a little low on funds right now!

The pipes are great, I was running them straight but split them today and put flowmaster 40's on and capped off the pipes. It was so damn loud I was going to get a ticket at some point.

I've never seen the one Mike Ness had - it definitely wasn't this one. When I got this thing it was all original - check some of my older posts, I have been asking for HAMB help since I got this boat 8 months ago!

Thanks again!!!!! This baby is turning heads everywhere I go!

 

Not to hijack this post but if you would like to see more pix of it, click here. This is my Flickr Account of pix I have taken (most of them) of this car

Thanx for those pic Kustom55! Im gonna have to save em all, use as reference in 10 years when i might have the funding again for a project. Haha. Something I just realized, Cole puts a 54 Chevy grill in everything, except 54 Chevy's! But damn does it all look good.

Betteroffalone- Still an awesome car, I feel ya on the low funds bit. Doesnt matter if ya got all the time in world, if ya dont got the money. Good Luck!

 

Thanks for posting that link - those pics are sick and give me some great ideas for the future. Wow that '54 grill really changes the whole look of the front end, I would definitely like something like that for my chief in the future.

Thanks!

 

No problem guys. I agree the grille looks the best and when I saw it back in the early-mid 90's it really caught my attention. I know it wasn't and easy project to make that grille fit but Cole is a master; he doesn't shape metal, metal asks him how he wants it to be shaped. j/k
