Whether in the trunk or any other jamb, I always epoxy first then if going to prime do that or whatever you are going to do. I seam seal right...
It took me 8 years of searching to track down the 55 hardtop dad and I built in the 80's. It still wears the same paint and interior today too!...
I have one that is pretty damn clean. Has the pot metal finned top, even has the matching ashtray cover that is finned as well. Ive decided to...
Delfleet Evolution is a really great product line and is very versatile. It is a more value cost line as compared to DCC Concept and as it is...
The reducers are the same from Omni to Shopline, and most of the hardeners are as well. But you would need to know which ones are the same as the...
You don't say which Shopline paint system you used. Was it the single stage or base/clear? I work for that paint company as a training instructor,...
To the OP I have to ask, when you say etch primer... are you using a good 2k etch, or some crap out of an aerosol spray can? I have a friend that...
The story is actually pretty cool. Back in 2006 when I bought my house and moved to the town I had a 47 Ford hot rod. One day the mailman came...
I LOVE your truck!! What fuel injection is that with the side mount for the throttle body? Never seen that on what looks to be a Ramjet. Funny...
Looking at it now I see that you may very well be right about the bumpers! I hadn't really noticed it, but yes they look as though they are...
A couple months ago I picked up a 51 Chevy five window pick up with plans for a full redo at some point soon. Please share pics you may have of...
I changed up the grill in my 55. I have always loved it when I've seen this done and figured it was about time. Such a cool modification that cost...
Persistence pays off. This truck sat in an old timers driveway untouched for years. I would stop every couple years and chat him up. I asked about...
this is a set of decent driver quality 57 Caddy caps. They could use a little cleaning and some polish. Yes they have some minor dings but I think...
Right now the engine compartment on my 55 Chevy is the same as the outside of the car, a custom mix black cherry. I am thinking of pulling the...
Can't wait
My dad and I built this 55 Bel Air in the winter of 86-87 as an early 60's mild custom. It was finished the night before my senior prom in high...
This car is spectacular!!
This is absolutely correct. But we all need to remember that laquer does not cure, it dries. It is a Thermoplastic, not a Thermoset like todays 2k...
These may be a bit too modern for you guys, maybe not. I have a mild custom 55 Chevy Be Air and being a "paint guy" this is what I did. I had a...
I have to say I am absolutely in love with this truck. Your attention to detail and skilled eye have designed and put together a one of a kind...
Spectacular build so far. Love everything about it!! I second the idea of using the Ford Ranger bed floor to give it a factory look.
I had a 38 once and miss it, sold it back in the 80's. Would love to buy this one and finish it, live nearby too. Just no funds at the moment....
Finally got the car out of winter hibernation couple weeks ago and have been driving it quite a bit. Can't bring myself to sell it now. The...
Sold

This entire thread reminds me of why I don't belong to a club. Way too many rules, takes the fun out of hot rodding. I used to belong to two...
Back up....... Open to offers, they aren't doing me any good. Not going to give them away, but, try me.
