X2. I found this thread a while back but didn't comment - lost track of it . Just reread and caught up. The attention to detail you guys have takes your results to the next level. Thanks for sharing the progress as well as the process. I learn something from all your threads.

 

What was your process for creating the rockers? Looks like you out the 90degree bend in then make the curve but how is the curve made?

Thanks, those light lines are so important!

That's funny, thanks!

We cut up his original chassis, did extensive fabrication & added an Art Morrison front clip.

Thank you so much!!

Thanks a lot!

We are driving to Ventura today I will post some video of it driving, if I can figure out how to post a video!!

 

A labour of love. Is this a client's car or your own? I know full well the level of commitment required to achieve what looks so effortless in a pictorial sequence.. . .

 

This is a friend/clients car. Thank you, it's a lot of work but I think it's worth it.

Here's a video of it cruising to the Ventura Ventura Nationals.

We used thumb nail dies to shrink the leg of the 90 & hammered out the distortion.
A deep throat kick shrinker would have been the best but we don't have one.

Thanks, also Clark showed Wendel how to channel it and he went to work! Wendel was a big part of his build! It's too bad he doesn't do this for a living or we'd try to hire him!!

 

Amazing work !!!!

 

Amazing work and skills done by a talented team . The car has very nice flowing lines to it . Great job saving it .

 

Thanks!

Thank you!
Here is another pic that Brian took.

Here are some more pics:
We made some brass center cap pieces of our logo. We used brass to coordinate with his dash color. Here is another pic of the 40.

 

Are those DeSoto taillights?

 

I'm glad this got bumped or I wouldn't have ever seen it. Your photos of the little details are great. It was like reading the best textbook ever.

I assume the car is finished, by now?

 

That chop looks so nice! Are things good enough under the black paint to leave it or will it go to bare metal at some time? Bob

Thanks Toner. Yes ,I did know this,and was responding to a couple of posts asking questions.She had posted several great threads on the projects they had been building,and I was very impressed with the quality of their work.F##k Cancer..

 

What an amazing job! The only problem with re-styling an already beautiful car like this one is that it makes the stockers look lame!
