Customs 53 Chevy full custom build thread by Krazy Korys Kustoms

Howdey my name is Kory and I have a small custom shop in Lockhart Texas about 30 minutes east of Austin. Like I said it's a small shop and I do most of my work part time. I just started a build on a 53 chevy and would like to post some pictures here. I know some of you are tierd of seeing 49-54 chops on here but I hope I can do you justice.

 

Here is the car i'm starting with .

 

The first thing we did was fill all the holes in the belt line and start building guills on the hood.

 

Guills??

 

More pics. othe guills and we moved the head light buckets inside the fenders and welded the bezels on.

 

I've seen this car around. I believe the last time was at the Bastrop meet. Very cool car! I'll be watching the build.

 

Welded and peaking the hood

 

Subscribed!

 

I never did understand the guills! Never liked them much either.

 

this should be interesting, keep us updated..

 

Here I layed out the cuts for a 4/6 chop.

 

Made the cuts and removed the top

 

Looking Good I'm glad you decided to post the pics up for everyone to enjoy.

 

Set the top back down and tacked it in.

 

Sorry for the way the pics are laying out . This should be better.

 

The chop looks mean. And it does make it look longer.

 

Here is a shot of the grill being welded in. That's all I've got for now stay tuned.

 

How much of chop was that?

 

4 inch in the front and 6 inch in the back

 

lookin good! can't wait to see the final results.

 

Did you mean "gills" like fish gills? Looks more like scoops to me, just nitpicking. Looks like good metalwork.
