Well hush my mouth! Funny but you remember what you want to, or how does it go . . . you hear what you want to hear.
swweeeet. IMHO a shoebox is a canvas. this one is turning out as a masterpiece. i've tended to overlook victorias because of the rear window... no longer!
Man you guys are killing me.....and the wifey I think has the hots for Mr. Norwell. Thank you everyone for the positive opinions there is still a huge amount of work to do. The impression of this car seems to be taking on a show car image but believe me it will not be. I am sure under the hood and the underneath of the car will just be a backyard builder driver. The paint and interior will be nice but still driver quality. The yellow with black is still kicking my ass. Skip
The white/ pale blue and blue on blue color schemes remind me of this Chevy on the cover of the '55 Custom Cars Annual. It works.
That's the car that Skipper sent me as his inspiration Brian. He asked me to photoshop it similar to that car so that's where I got it from. I think it's pretty killer and now I'm in love with baby blue and white on a custom!
Yup, that's exactly what I had in my mind's eye- you nailed it Jeff! Always liked the darker color for the upper part of the body.
He is kind of dreamy..........and altho I think the pale blues are hot, I'm a fan of black and yellow...........but I think the green and cream is where it needs to be. I am not a fan of green, but I love that.
Ooooooooooooh ya!! Maybe you and the Mrs can come to the Roundup this coming year as well!! She'd LOVE it!
Skip, I am totally blown away!!! FRICKIN' BLOWN AWY!!!! Great story too.... Gave me chills!!!! My favorite Kustom in a LONG TIME!!!! WOW!!! Very stoked for you my friend!!!!!
Sweet car!! Very nice work!! Good story to go with it. I don't know Carl or his family but I bet Carl is looking down and very happy with what your doing to his old car.
Wow Skip! I just got a chance to read trought the whole thing, great job! How do you do it. Beautiful car and story.
I also vote for this one..seeing your thread has motivated me to get off my ass and finish my Victoria..
