Projects 53 Business Coupe Build

Sick sick sick!!!
Love it!!!!

 

Got the lower panel on the passenger tail light banged out yesterday. Getting this side to match the other side was the toughest part. Had to use the my angle finder most of the day, checking and then re-checking again. Ended up working out great and they are symmetrical and look great to me. I wont go too in depth with this side.

 

A few more pictures schaefer took yesterday with his camera. Glad the rain stopped last night so we could pull the car out to have a look from far back. It was dark so excuse the low light pictures...

Here's two shots of me grafting away.

 

Those pics might be "low light",BUT to me they really highlite the build.
Good luck.Have fun.Be safe.

Man this car is coming out beautiful!!! Keep up the good work bro!

 

Thanks Leo and Chris. I am going down to the states this week to pick up my new chrome bezels, my Lee style bubble lenses and 7 more teeth for my grille. Hope to get some pictures of it all on as soon as I can finish up the passenger light next week.

 

Your '53 is looking great!

 

Good job on the tailight metal work.

awesome wrok. love this build

 

Thought I'd go ahead and post this pic again, for it is by far the best pic in your album yet! Lovin the long shutter shots!

 

I still can't believe how rad this car is! It is for sure one of the if not THE nicest '53-'54's being built right now. Everything flows so well! You have a great eye, can't wait to see the finished result

 

Really coming out great. It's motivating me to get back to work on mine.

Your new shots show the angle under the taillights much better.

Gawd this is turning out killer!!!

 

Holy shit ! dont know how I missed this one, subscribed .
Bad ass work man, super clean ...

 

LOVE how low this is, and the awesome metal work. I really wish I had such good metal working skill and patience.

 

Got the passenger side tail light fabrication all finished up yesterday. Bolted up my new bezels and my Lee lenses i purchased a few weeks ago. Super happy with how the tail lights look now that both are finished and ready to weld. Here is a few shots from all sides.











Next up is starting the molded splash pans to flow the rear sheetmetal underneath the pontiac bumper. Gonna pull of the bumper this week and start building the wood forms to hammer the sheetmetal over. Will keep you posted once I start.

 

Looks cool,great work with the tail lights!

 

That's looking killer!

 

That bumper looks great on there now! I think the other guy that said he didn't like it meant because it stuck WAY out passed the sheetmetal. It flows very well now. COOL!

 

Hay How I miss this one.. Nice work.. Seen some cool ideas.. Love the pontiac bumper.. Love to find one for my build. Ill be watching this one..

 

i know where a bumper is!!out in the woods...want me to ask?

 

Diggin it,the extended quarters with tail lights look pretty damn cool.I like that combination!

 

Looks good man!

 

Looking AWESOME
I'm loving how this is coming together
