    Looks great with the new grille, smoothed hood and new bumper.Remids me of the Barris built Chevy they built for Marcia Campbell... very elegant.
    I really like the way you do the grille end pieces.

    thats a straight up classy look for these cars!!! like rik said remindes me of a couple of barris cars! wish i could get my car painted by you.
     
  7. Beautiful work, as usual. That is a great look for that body style. It will be a timeless car when done. What color if I might ask?

    Great job Jeff! Love this angle....... I like the stance, it gives it the old style kustom look
    from the fifties, It is kool to see one not being over lowered.

    Shoe wanted it to look like an old build right outta the lil books, the headlights need to come foreward, and we are going to run the bumper guards but I'm going to shorten and cut them back in size, I would like to get a little lower but not alot with the front, it's still running the nasty lil 6 with load as hell pipes and soon to put in a 5 speed.

    great to see someone doing something different-lots of work, will look great when everything in brite chrome and paint. just me but, the trim on side of car seems to make it look kinda stubby. I would remove. maybe lay down some ghost scallops down sides or pin stripes
     
  23. I love it....very traditional.

    What color paint?

    That's a cool ride. Going to use the Olds headlight trim? It was in the first picture. Just curious. I kinda liked it.
