[porknbeaner]

Now that's my kind of project. You are gonna loose the wheels right?
What are the plans for it?

[colorado51]

COOL!

You dont see too many 51 converts.

What are your plans?

[tredboy]

plans are to chop it about 6 or 7 inches, nose and deck it, airbag suspension, and some secret stuff that i'll show only when it's done. and yeah, those wheels are history! thinkin' about chrome reverse wheels with wide whites and possibly chromed period hubcaps...

still kickin' around ideas for taillights...

[Kevin Lee]

I saw Jesse's (Lordz of Kustomz) post & didn't really have anything to add. Hope we see some progress shots from him or you. That guy builds some rad cars.

Tail lights - I think it was at the HAMB drags I saw a Chevy with VW lights - early lights with the snowflake lenses. Looked really nice with that thin chrome ring around the small oval lens. Pretty sure it was one of the Kontinentals' car. Black with a blue roof.

[tredboy]

i'm such a tool, i didn't even see jesse's post.






tred.

[Kevin Lee]

Of course you didn't see it. It got knocked five pages back by everyone gobbing off on the evils of corporate America and some other numbnuts giving tips on how to steal stuff. Looking forward to pics. Are you keeping a working top? THAT would be some good tech - how to chop a folding top. I know of at least one topless lady who might be interested in the process.

[Action Girl]

YAY!

Very cool indeed.

[flt-blk]

Grim, That's Outlaw's 51 hardtop with the VW tail lights. Those little things are the brightest small lights I have ever followed.

[tredboy]

yes jesse is chopping the konvertible top (and that would make a good tech post, huh), but for now it will not be on the car, i guess i will have a very long roadster?

[plan9]

ive got a bunch pics of L.O.K.'s 51 chevy, and other projects... i can pin some up on starphoto if interested.

his didnt look much different than yours when he started out... nothing fancy, and drives the piss out of it.

or go here...
