It actually drives pretty well. Here is some pics if they turn out right. It still looks like a pos right now.

I might try and post some others later. So what do ya think? It's still rusty but getting there. still gotta take the 2" blocks out and swap them for some 3" blocks. I'll try and get a better picture of my shifter and my shifter knob some of you will like it. Can you tell that when I bought the car a barn had fallen on the top of it. I don't have any pics of it before I started on it but the top was smashed all the way down to the front seat back.

Hey jester what do you think and I didn't even have to have my cousin and his best friend build my car for me like you did. hehehe http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I dunno, does the pink make you feel in touch with your feminine side? Or just feel yourself? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Lookin good man! what are your future plans?

[Mojo]

[straykatkustoms]

Hey Donnie,

I'm please to hear the smoke is from the burn out. I thought you hooked up your flame throwers on backwards.
The car is looking good can't wait to see it in person someday. Keep posting updates.

Happy Trails,

Mick

[kustomd]

I'm thinking about maybe painting it green but it'll probably be "rat rod black tm" for a while since I still have a bunch of black primer but I don't know. I'm wanting to make a green primer I think that would be cool. set it a little lower, Make some new headlight openings and some other body mods as I get time.

[Tcoupe]

Lookin good Kustomd....I would like to see it in person, you gonna bring it to Hangin Dice? Seems us Arkys have a thing for 53-54 chevys http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif.

[Fast Elvis]

The old 54 is looking good....I also like the new lid and lowered stance plus the sbc seems to have lots of balls from the look of those's burnouts!! I'm still waiting for the snow to melt!

[Dat Dirty Rat]

You nailed it,,literally! Niced job on the chop,,it looks really kool...we should call ya the 'Wrath of the Pink Panther' http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif...

Dirty

[Humboldt Cat]

Niiiice- those're the sweetest Burnin' Them Meats photos I've seen in quite a while! Yer project's looking sweet, definitely far away from looking like anything fell on it. The rush of air through that open windshield must've been somethin' else. Nice work!

ha ha Donald Yeah your right but keep in mind that this is my first major project and I have contributed in the build although I don't know my ass from a hole in the ground. 99.5% of the car has been built by Grant Clark and Mike Walters but there is alot of work still to do and I'll end up doing quite a bit of the finish up work on it (fingers crossed) we all have to start somewhere don't forget the 60 http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

[kustomd]

The 60 wasn't my first car and grant and mike didn't really do shit to help me on any of my projects unless they wanted something from me usually. I was just jackin with ya tho.

[kustomd]

WhY tHe fuck does everyone call me donnie and donald all of a sudden that isn't my name?? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif
