Projects 1957 Chrysler Mild Custom

Never been a big Mopar guy...but man this car is killer..hell I’d have put the tape to the edge..it was good enough for Larry...

 

This car is perfection.

 

I like this look 100%. Simple and classy. I've always wondered what this would look like with a candy over it. I just haven't had the opportunity to try yet.

 

It really is a stunning car. Pics don't do it justice. Well deserved award!

 

Man I wish I had your car but I have many choices and a future ahead but if I had to choose 3 cars it would be
-this car
-pharaohs 1949 merc
-a 1950 ford shoebox

 

Well.....1957 Chrysler is on my Top Ten list.But with yours,,,,,top five list of cars that I want!

 

LOL, thanks bud! I know you're gonna end up building an awesome ride

 

(Thanks, @themoose. )

 

It's a real shame that this completed build got side tracked with those roof stripes. The car was damn near perfect. I understand it's your car and all but those stripes really distract from the great paint your Dad laid down. The gold stripes just make it worse.

I know opinions are like assholes....we all have one.

Love this car (and I am not a Mopar guy) and the effort it took that you documented. One of the best builds here.

 

Not a Mopar, or custom person, but this is a home run.

 

Then I guess it's a "real shame" I roped him into helping me put them on it! They go unnoticed by most, so it's our little HAMB secret that I ruined the car with them... hahaa



ps - the gold stripes are someone's photoshop work

 

Just read the whole thread absolutely fabulous! Took me back to my old DeSoto I still think late 50’s mopars make the best Kustoms plus they come with a Hemi! I should have never had sold mine but I missed having a hot rod .

Hey, you must be Johnny Best The guy that owns your old Desoto is taking good care of it. Beautiful car!

 

Yep that’s me, the old girl is looking good and is enjoying life in Italy . Mine was rusty when I got it , new floors, inner and outer rockers, rear arches, trunk floor and even the rear roof pillars ! My only regret is that I didn’t chop it, just a couple of inches like the mercury Larry Watson painted . Your car is perfect ( with the chrome reverse wheels lol ) I wouldn’t change a thing

Just read this whole thread start to finish... Ruling!!! Love everything about your car!!!

 

After years of lurking, my dad finally decided to join the Hamb. His intro thread is in his typical humble understated style. But he is an awesome guy, loves to help others learn and do, and he has this beautiful '64 Cad.

 

And NICE shiny paint on the STRAIGHT Caddy too.

 

One of my favorite cars on the hamb… and like others have said, I'm not even a Mopar guy!!!!

 

Fucker looks like you'd have the puss lined up around the block to get a ride

 

Man, that Caddy looks a mile long. Cool. Snowman

 

I love that cadillac. Looks like something out of a mob movie

Any pics of this in color?

 

I’d say your dad has good taste in cars.

Chryslerfan55, Considering Gotgas' signature is "Good hands. BAD taste in cars." (I disagree)
and that his dad raised him and did the body/paint on the '57
and I'm guessing he also did the body/paint on the caddy,
I'd say his dad has Great hands and good taste in cars.
Seems that the apple didn't fall far...

 

Indeed.

This is what 58 Chrysler could have looked like (I know Danny's is a 57)
