    These shocks were on my car when it was first built in 1952. DSCN1156.JPG
     
  2. Fast, just fast.
    In truth, it's not really very fast, I just drive it like it is and talk a good game.

    For the Chopped 37 Chevy Sedan it would probably be the suicide door conversion.

    For the 56 Chevy it has to be my design for the ElCamino conversion.

    I guess first, it's a Mopar. :rolleyes:
    My favorite subtle thing is the hood scoop. Even die-hard car people don't notice it until they've looked the car over for a while. It's in my favorite build style, which is a simple, clean late '50s / early '60s mild custom. It has a 392 Hemi and a stick, swivel seats, and a lot of other oddball and hard to find stuff that I'm pretty sure only I would ever notice. I spent more time than I want to admit dialing in wheels/tires/rear axle/suspension to get the car to sit right.

  14. That woodgraining is beautiful, you should be proud. A+
     
  15. Looks great to me
     
  16. 3rd deepest snow in one day since 1903, but survived, power stayed on and that was my biggest concern. Thanks
     
  17. My roadster's signature has to be the track nose & grille, not many cars running them.

  19. If it has a signature I guess it would have to be the louvers.

    I think the signature for my car is the carbs/intake/hemi/headers combo. And the bare bones look.

  21. You mentioned the simplicity and as many times that I have seen your car I never noticed the hood scoop until you mentioned it, it blends in with the overall look of the car so well it appears seamless. HRP

    I built a Body Style that Ford dropped the year before , Also My car is a Four Door Victoria and added a Decklid and designed my own Security Locks for all Four Doors . Most C400 conversions have a removable top , mine tucks neatly into the Pkg. Shelf .

    SOMEONE recognizes what it takes to make a Plymouth Hemi. :) Nice tight bumpers too!
