    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!

  8. Awesome and unique for sure!!!
     
  9. 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 !!!
     
  10. That's a very interesting hood! Can't wait to see what else you do to the 63.

    thats the way t odo it! slowly but steady! that dash looks great! cruising in style some time in the near future...
     
  18. 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.

    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.
