Well, the body is back on. It still has a way to go, but I think it looks really cool! I'm happy with the way it's turned out so far. I snapped these shots today, it was overcast, so they don't show the flake very good, but there is 24oz's of it on there!
That's gonna be the "polarizing" aspect of the car...The roof is going to be white...but we're doing a whole "tiki" themed interior. I was going to go all out with surfboards on the roof and everything, but I decided to tone it down. I have a 60's style coupe that's gold with a white interior...It's cool, but a pain to keep clean! Plus I plan on having a couple of other cars with white interiors...so...it's gonna get old after a while!
Nice job,I just went and looked at a body like that today, this one was all apart but at least now I can see what it's supossed to look like.
Like the color, not sure about the Model 40 grille - doesn't seem 60's to me, seems more like a current fad but with paint instead of rust. Also, what's up with the rear spring?? Looks awful close to the old scrubline . . .
Maybe something like this one made from the front of a 60 Chevy pickup hood . . . Check the link: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=202427
that grill would look rad as shit if u cut it down a couple inches, and placed it nice and stout on the radiator,, it'd look a little bit like the druid princess.,, - just my dumb two cents
Nope. Not a new fad. This photo (posted elsewhere on the HAMB by Flatheadhero) is from 1935. Maybe not 60's style, though.
I found that roll of stuff, I'll bring it over when I come by next week... When is the soonest I can pick up the wheeled device for transporting objects behind a truck? If I get that out of the way, I can concentrate on getting the heap fired. OMG!!! I couldn't see the pic until I came home for lunch, that is beautiful! Wanna trade!
