Looks pretty solid, I am liking that grille!

J-Gilmoore · 01-03-2009, 04:16 AM

Forgot to tell what kinda car it is.
A 1954 citroen b11 body on a 1962 volvo 210 frame.4 banger.
The grille is plymouth -38 i think, swapmeet find.

That’s a cool project.

Real gangster cittra with suicide doors and all.

R Pope · 01-03-2009, 08:30 AM

That's one mean and nasty lookin' ride!
A thought...that trunk "hump" looks to be a separate piece. If you took it off, the back end would have a '32 Victoria-like slope to it. No space for stuff, though.
That Plym grille looks like it grew there, nice touch.

Thats a nice visor..........over your windshield..........in your avatar........

The Citroen looks cool too, neat project!

It's pretty cool that you used the remote shifter setup off a later 140, it puts the shift in the perfect place.
This car could look fantastic with the right headlights and bumper. Best of luck, and I hope you post some updates as you make progress.

J-Gilmoore · 01-04-2009, 04:08 AM

Mounted the radiator shields yesterday. Feels great to finaly get started whit this project again.
Next step is to fit the grille in properly.

J-Gilmoore · 11-23-2009, 12:19 PM

Painted the dashboard, copper pearl is the thing. Put som glowble flake in the gaugepanel, dont no if it shows on the pics. Do notice that the gaugepanel isnt adjusted proparly yet.
Mounted a new windsheild and painted the frame, copper pearl ofcourse.
Next up is a little welding on the firewall and then some paint.

An all steel -33 ford walldecoration,

J-Gilmoore · 12-12-2009, 10:22 AM

Did some work on the firewall today. will paint it same copper pearl as the dashboard.

J-Gilmoore · 12-31-2010, 05:02 AM

HAHA . has a 2 inch chop already. Have had the roof in about 15 pieces
Could have taken more but then the windsheild would be to small in my opinion.

pwschuh · 12-31-2010, 08:47 AM

Nice Traction.

J-Gilmoore · 06-24-2011, 05:36 AM
