53 chevy custom. chopped and lengthend teaser thread.

basically its a teaser thread because i havent had time to go through all the pics and get them resized.

its a 53 chevy 2 door. chopped 5 inches, the pillars have been slanted, channelled, and the front end has been lengthend 10 inches, it has a custom front grill and grill surround.

anyways here the pic! lol enjoy

 

i will be adding more pictures soon....

 

Can't wait to follow this one, your last was killer! Good luck!

 

thanks man!

 

lookin good cant wait for some more pics

 

it's just like a 53 pontiac, but worse.

 

thanks bro!

 

heres a couple more

 

Whats the reason for extending the front end?

 

cant say it will get the thread closed.

 

s10 frame?

 

Every builder has their own custom touch they add. Barris did chops and side pipes, he stretches the nose!

 

I like the grill, but the extended front end kinda makes me want to puke.

 

bingo.

had some nice pics of the body going on to the frame but the thread got deleted, so im not bothering showing any of that.

 

Why not cut the chassis to fit the body?

 

Yeah I know that was a silly question.

 

the term "land yacht" comes to mind with this one

 

kept the stock radiator shroud

 

Well I guess I have to say I admire you dedication and work ethic. I just haven't quite digested the last build, but hell if everyone built the same ole shit it would get old real quick. Put your stamp on it man!

 

Keep going. I dig your re-bodys.

 

Is that strip added to the front set up to be a lap weld? I hope you are planning to do alot more work to those panels before you weld them together, especially that hood.

 

it's a whole blazer or s10 undercarriage. the same one you posted a while back. why don't you just say what it is?

 

i already did, if you read the posts.

 

yea i know, the thing i learned from doing my 52 front end this way was that its alot better in the long run to build the front end all at the same time, instead of building each fender and then the hood. then trying to make everything line up, it didnt work out very well on the 52 and i ended up doing alot of extra shit to get the gaps even close.

so this front end it just mocked up right now, it will get blown apart, smoothed out and then cut the metal to fit the gaps and weld it solid.

 

keep us posted.

 

I'm kinda liking this one, are you going to extend the rear fenders a bit to make things match? I'd just like to have the money you hand over to the welding supply co for gas and wire each month right now.

crazy...

 

No offense, but I did'nt understand your last concept and it confuses me even more why you would do it twice. I guess I admire your tenacity though.

 

I would like to see the pics...why dont you post them in the S10 swap thread? Its about 50 pages long, no danger of it getting closed there.
