The way your going I have no doubts bro!

 

Your build is looking great!

 

X2!! looking forward to it.

 

Looking Really Good! Frame turned out really nice! I thought you said you didn't want it to lay all the way out! .... aaaand the snowball. lol

 

Appreciate it everyone....

Thanks Lowrders, yes the snowball affect, the frame is resting about 1/2 an inch off the ground and once chopped I might want to make some adjustments, but then again once the body is back on, I might not want to do anything, I'm sure it will look good either way

 

Alright, the bumper has been repaired and moved up around two inches. I ended up having to order the reproduction bezels for the car. The old bezels have some pretty bad cracks in the wrong places and it would have cost more to get those repaired than to buy the reproduction ones. Heres a pic of the way everything sits now...

 

Don't worry the mercury part will be gone and trunk lid smoothed

Thanks, hopefully we will have the taillights and tail pan section wrapped up pretty soon and we can get the body back on the frame.

 

Lookin good man. I like the idea of the chevy center with the merc bumper guards, they look good together.

 

Looking so cool, your ride is going to be so fine and a great cruiser. Will be watching..............

CRUISER

 

Coming along nicely!!

 

Hey what size/make tires are you running? Just curious,,,they look great!

 

BTT Any progress to show us mob? we're keen to see more!!

 

Thanks, I'm running Coker G78's...4 inch white wall

Really not much progress going on. The bumper is all mounted now and work has started on finishing the tailpan section. Hopefully in about a week I'll have something for everyone. Thanks for following along!!

 

Taillight to tail-pan/trunk area starting to take shape

 

Lookin good! I love those bumperettes!

 

Appreciate it, 54 Mercury bumperettes with the 54 Chevy rear center bar between the 54 chevy bumperettes cut down....Thanks again

 

Wow! Your 54's looking great! Man I love what you're doing to her!

 

rear end is looking nice

 

Ok, I've got some updates for y'all. As you can see in these pictures the reverse light has been cut off and the area below the reverse light filled. One thing to note is if you follow the line from the back of the bezel there is a line that has been continued on the area filled below the taillight....


Here you can see that continuation....

 

Here is the view from a distance without the bumperette in place....


and a side view....I am really excited about the appearance of length it gives to the rear. Tail pan section is being formed, body will be back on the frame at the beginning of next week!!!!


and the other side, still just a little blending needed at the top...

 

Looking good!!
