Projects Before and Afters

We love the Before and After pictures. I was thinking a thread to go to when you need to see just what is possible with good old fashion hands and tools. So please submit any one two punch photos you have of the 1... "Before" and the 2... "After"
Completed cars would be the most inspirational. Maybe unique part saves might be interesting too.

 

Before...April 1 2015
After.....Current

 

Sandblasted------ starting the cuts------body in primer-------Finished 33 Phantom Build Thread below
http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/one-of-a-kind-1933-ford.570915/

 

didn't we do this within the past year or so? Might do a search and find that thread, it had some neat ones

http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/before-and-after-thread.957264/

and even on that one, folks were saying something about yet another thread like this

 

Yeah,but there are some unbelievable cars that have gone through the transformation. HRP

 

Sorry squirrel I didn't do the research. I have been disappointed when it comes to the searches here and seldom bother anymore.
I'm not trying to plagiarize or steal anyone's thunder. I just had the thought and pounded it out on my phone watching the kids.
I have two depressingly difficult builds piled in my garage right now. Seeing other peoples amazing fetes helps me stay the course, and it's cool.

 

No harm,no foul...what hasn't been discussed a hundred times since Ryan started this site 20 years ago? HRP

 

Good point HRP. Although I peruse as much as I can, I certainly can't catch up for 20yrs and still accomplish anything Outside of the HAMB.

 

pretty easy to search for the two words before and after and find the threads

they're all fun

gorgeous 37

 

My 54 Delray

 

Almost talked myself out of this, but here it is.

 

Thanks Tim, but won't you have to update this soon after you give'r a re-color?

 

Nope. Its for sale and I'm saving my ene

rgy for the next one.

 

Almost done. This one's for my wife.

 

How about a side view of this good looking Chevy? HRP

 

I'm with HRP, let's see more.

 

I agree, would love to see some more Pics of the 54.
No chop, no shave, all the trim still on, Damn good looking Car!

 

Thanks guy's, I am really bad about taking pictures of my own cars. Here's all I have.

 

^^^ that thing is NICE!

 

I'll be the first to admit the 53-54 models never rocked my boat. But THAT ^^^^^^ sir, is an outstanding rendering! Well done Little red 50! I'd rock that all day long!

 

it's nice to see a clean,simple build on one of these Chevys and I'm not a Chevy. HRP

 

Hey guys thanks for all the cool comments on my car. I built this one to drive, hence the flattened clear coat, (I live on a dirt road) I've had it on the road about a year trying to drive the wheels off this thing. I don't do the car show thing to often although I have in the past, I find it much more fun to just drive it whenever I can.

 

BEFORE IN BOISE.....

 

AFTER IN POCATELLO.....
