My 56 Buick. Shaved everything, custom grille, and lowered. The only thing not done in my garage was the seat upholstery.

This thread is going to be great.

GREAT thread! Keep them coming!

It doesn't take much to set your ride apart from the others....This is what captured my imagination in the beginning....While I loved the offerings of the major Customizers in the 50's and '60's, I knew those cars would always be out of my reach. It doesn't take a lot to nose, deck, tape Flames or Scallops, or have somebody punch some louvers in your hood....Man, that was the stuff dreams are made of! Centurion9
