Projects My 1950 Chevy Styleline DeLuxe

Thanks a ton guys! Been messing with the A-Bone Sedan at the house, waiting to get the 50 in to Tony at Tri-Valley Auto Glass for the side glass and wing windows. Then I can finally finish the interior. I'll get some more pics up of that work as it happens

 

Nice man. Cool to see what my car Should/did look like.

 

Fan-freakin-tastic! Love it.

 

Looks Great Erik. '49 & 50's were always my favorite years. Myself, I'd two tone it, but, of course, that's your choice. I think a monochromatic color, below the belt line, would look great. Even something like a stock 1950 GM color, "Grecian Gray" for instance. Good Luck! ...........roof color reminds me a little bit of Dave York's Shoebox

 

Cool shoebox! Thanks again for the kind words.

 

just read your build...took about an hour..

Impressive!! turned out really nice!! Love the choice of colors, something different.
Can't wait to finish mine..!!

 

I just read this from start to finish and loved it the whole way. You did great work. How many inches did you end up taking out of the roof?

 

Thanks man! Its about 2 3/4 out of the front and 3 3/4 from the rear

Thanks for the info. How tall are you and how did it affect your comfort. I'm 6' 4" and want to do maybe a 4 in front and a 5 in the rear when I build one. Just want to get an idea of what I'm in for.

 

Bitchin man!!

 

Im 6'2" so that was a definite consideration. I have 3" or so of headroom with a stock seat. I may cut the frame down a little but i dont have much room with the tunnel. Tbird buckets Would give some more room too. 4/5 wouldn't have worked for me comfort and visibility wise.

I hear ya. It's easy to dream and think how low you would go but I think when it comes time I would probably chop it less.

 

This is SO awesome. I have to subscribe to this.

 

Wow, you did so much in such a short time. It turned out great. I'd be happy to roll it as is.
About the color. When you say you added the black and silver, you mean you mixed it with the green right??

 

Yessir. We mixed it with the primary color

Great tip thanx. And the candy was a lighter shade of green right?

 

Yeah, the Moss Candy from PPG

 

Thats one sweet chop

 

Dig the build man.

 

This thing looks killer!!!! The green paint is, well...... KILLER TOO! I really like how you chopped it, awesome Erik!

 

Thanks a lot man!

Finally and Update... Took it to the Suede Palace at the Sac Autorama.
I'd like to thank Axle for putting on an awesome show, I had a great time.
I picked up the Mala Car Club Pick, The Traditional Rod and Kustom Magazine Pick and the San Jose Speed and Chrome "Best Kustom Pick".

I want to thank Kustoms By Jennings for the work on the body and paint, Hill's Rod and Custom for the work on the floors, trim, and the help at the show and Eric Reyes for his awesome sign.

Now its back to the lab to work on the bottom half of the paint, tweak the bumpers and grille and get the interior done.

 

More pics of my goofy ass and some cool trophies! Alex Gambino (San Jose Speed and Custom) even gave out trophies you can drink!!

 

I just went through this thread. That's a great lookin' Chevy, Erik. Nice work!

 

Thanks man!
