before and after picture thread

Been thinking about if for a few moons and was wondering what did eveyones cars look like when you got it and what does it look like now that is "finished"

I know that there are some threads with before and after pictures but it would be nice to see them all together in one place.

 

Two of my projects are 49 and 20 years in the making, the end is far into the future.

 

Here is my 33 Fordor. Before & After.wish I'd have taken before pic's of my other cars.I don't always think that far ahead.

 

Pink with bondo in several pieces of stainless trim and bumpers - I was hating pink by the time it was all gone.

 

looks good

 

my old dodge. before and after.

 

my 37 chevy coupe. burnt from the cowl back. everybody thought i was crazy as hell for even attempting to make something out of this heap. it was the cheapist and bestist car i have built yet.its somewhere in penn. now.

 

Started my 28 rpu in late 70's finished in early 80's. Original field find pic is lost so i have early build pics.

 

then it would have made more sense to add to one of the existing threads rather than start a whole new one.

Mine's a glass 29 roadster that was one of the old Shay bodies. Not traditional, but lots of work

These photos cover before, during and present.
First photo in 1961, 2nd in 1971, 3rd in 1988, 4th in 2011

 

Not to many people can show that kind of history, great car, great pics.

 

Nothing like what some people have posted on here, but still had it all apart with the exception of removing dash, windshld, back glass, and front control arms. Kind of like putting a big scale model car back together.
