    Rob House's Chevy from Paso Robles, CA years ago. Sans hood and painted blue at the time. Shot on 35mm color slide; I loved that car at first sight! It was fun shooting it for World of Rods (RIP) Courtney Hallowell!

    Why NOT chop a convertible?
    Beautiful car, chopped or not. Love your color choices.

    Atomic, that the 1st thing I saw and ya it does look like 51 bezels, great idea!!! All the tails I have collected and tried and they were right in front of me. Dam that's a great idea. Nice chop also.
    Anyone know what the head light doors are on the black one that Mo posted above?
     
  23. '55 Oldsmobile on the one Mo posted, it once belonged to McPhail.

    I would say the best 49 to 52 chevy would be Larry Watson's Grapevine

    Let's bring this 3 year old post back up with Heath Murray's '51. I'm not sure I'd consider it the best, that's hard to do, but it sure is gorgeous. [​IMG][​IMG]
