    I would like to start by thanking my buddy Laurie Peterson "ratstu" of Canada Customs & Hot Rods, because he built this car for me. It was in his shop for a whole year and he spent many weekends and nights slaving away on this project.

    It was a 1954 Chevrolet Bel Air that has now been transformed into a 50's style Custom. It was chopped 3 ¾”, has a 50 Ford rear window, 56 Packard taillights, 56 Chevy front & rear bumpers, 56 Olds head light bezels, 55 Chevy front fender lips, custom skirts and some other goodies. I think I might call her “Fools Gold”.
    Here's some pics ....

    Boy, I hope that you will be driving and showing your ride a lot! Don't forget to send some photos to the kool magazines. They might not get to your part of the world too often. New that captures the old equals real gold.

    what kind of chrome "trim" is on the door panels separating the gold and white vinyls?

    really slick door panel treatments!
