cool project! keep posting pics

 

good start. keeping the 3 speed or going with 5 speed?

 

for now the 3 speed.

 

this is kinda the direction im going in (or i thought i was at the time) with possibly a white top. i know this is a two door but still.

 

Me like!

Just so impressed with your level of maturity and gumption for such a youngster. Fantastic stuff, stay with it!

 

thank you! and i will!

 

got most of the car down to bare metal just have the hood, the front left fender and top to strip.

 

Lookin good bro, keep up the good work. Don't be sorry about having more entry ports (doors), on this honey. That is one of the slickest quads going, super nice flow, please do not remove the back door handles to disguise this fact, bad effect in my opinion. Great you and yer Pop are car pals. Rock on guys! ~sololobo~

 

Yeah as far as 4-door sedans go, these are the ones to have. You'll have the coolest car in the school lot, as far as I'm concerned.

Any planned body mods? If I can make a suggestion, '54 Oldsmobile caps look great on these

 

Lookin good! Got a 50 four door I'm workin on myself.

 

thanks man! and im lucky to have any car to work on with my dad. and even luckier to have a old one so who cares that its a four door

 

i dont know i was thinking about frenching the head lights.
