hi ! with a little help from a HAMP member ( that cut me an 57 chevy hood in pieces and send it to germany ), i have start my hood projekt in the meanwile i have some time spend on my dash ,because place 3 gauges under the dash is not the way i would go !! so i think a little bit and sit in front of the car play with a short exhaust pipe and hey that's it !!!!!!!!!!!!! take the grinder, pipe pieces and my welder ........ and that is the result of a saturday
Haven't seen that before. Interested to see it finished. I find it a little funny that a German has a Confederate flag hanging up. Haha
Are you going to use the bullets to?? I think if you didnt it would be such a suttle touch and really make people scratch that head like 'i know something has been done but what?'....i like what you are doing and cant wait to see how you pull it all together!
yes i will use the org. bullets they are on the way from us to germany ! here is the next pic from the car ! the problem is the time i work 5 days and the 6th i go to school ( with 37 and for 3 years ) to make my master title ! the impala would be a frame off restauration ! new paint , airride ,and many more i hope in spring 2011 it will be ready to roll out !!!
It's funny thinking back. Back in '57 they worked so hard to remove those hood ornaments and you've worked so hard to put them on ... lol !!!
@drdave cool that you like it ! take the pieces that you cut out and place it at the side of each pipe ! if you don't do this it's look nasty only at this way you became a smooth look ! if you got any question send me an PM !
the dash is back from paint !!! in the moment the project comes slowly forward ! i got the time but not the money ! small steps ... but steps....
thats the way t odo it! slowly but steady! that dash looks great! cruising in style some time in the near future...
owning a 63' SS i have to say that dash is really cool! now you can tell everyone that that hood is a one off factory prototype, the original that they chose not to use but should have!
Well, it wouldn't be a good idea to be hanging up Uncle Adolf's Hakenkreutz would it? Seriously, don't be surprised to see Confederate Battle flags or Texas flags anywhere in the world. A time ago a survey was taken on the Top Ten internationally recognized logos/emblems. The top 3 were Coca-cola script, Ford script oval, Texas flag and in the Ten was the Confederate battle flag.
Subscribed! My galaxie dash might just be getting an update! Off to the boneyard I go......... Texas. The only State that kicked another countries ASS!!!!!!
If someone were to tell me they were gonna put '57 bullets on a '63 imp hood, I'd say they were hopped up on goofballs pretty heavy, but that looks pretty cool! Nice job on the dash/gauge pods as well! Can't wait to see the finished product.
HOLZI...well your different, so tell your german customer i said, and so was hitler! and TURBO what do you mean WILL RISE AGAIN, man havn't you seen all of OUR oil wells...POP.
Little Update ! Not so much Time for the Chevy in the Moment ! But Small Steps are Steps ! And the Dash is Back from the Pinstripe Guy Check out his Blog http://tran21.blogspot.com/
