Customs face lift and air ride on my 49 shoebox

Maybe some flames again

 

Really like the stance and the hoods over the tail lights look killer. Its fun to come up with different ideas, but sometimes its hard to get them to flow, looks like ya did a good job so far

 

Hey! damnit! im at a loss for words....really liking it, dual quads on 49 to 57 cars are one of my fave mods.
On a side note, i'd kill someone to have a girlfriend that can weld better than me...and lookin good doin it

 

yea ms metal can out weld and out fabricate us all! her husband Justin is one lucky dude. And i lucky to have them both as such great friends. I couldnt have gotten all this done so fast and sooo nice without there help

 

Much, much better...I like it alot, great job!!

 

coming out great! can't wait to see it finished!

 

Great progress, has that old school look to it now, I like the side spear elimination as well.

Looking so good, love quads!

 

good work

the 40 lights were not good

 

Lookin damn good.

 

Thanks everyone.
I can't wait to get the other headlight in. Then some secret frenched antennas n shaved gas cap

 

And maybe a 58 impala type scallop on the roof above the rear window maybe some hood nostrils I don't know yet. Oh n shaved handles

 

I just got the new Traditional Rod and Kulture mag and the pileup coverage has a few of the cars youve painted.

 

Thanks man I just picked one up today too 2 out of the 8 cars I had my hands on hahaha

 

looks awsome.keep it up

 

nice face lift! looks killer! lots of work man!

 

Thanks

 

Right on time. Have a customer looking for this tail light treatment, right now.

 

But theyre saposed to be one of a kind hahaha

 

huge improvements! always liked your car but hated those headlights. always thought they drew your eyes away from all the nice work. nice job.

 

[well to be technical its a 40s car being that its a 49]

Okay, you got me...but I think you know what I ment...and yes , its still a good build.

 

Awesome work mate, keep the pics coming.

Thanks n I should have some updates this weekend

 

I really like the direction you are going with the car...Glad to see you getting right on that 2 link, If I had won, Id probably still be sitting on it!
If you go with the '55 Pontiac side trim, try to get the Chieftan side spears, they work as-is, the Starchiefs are too long and will have to be shortened. I ended up combining 2 door pieces per door so the horizontal spears would sit lower on the side of the car, instead of running right into the stock windsplits, ya just gotta mess with it to get it where you want. The trim fits the contour of the Shoebox nicely.
Nice work!

 

Thanks. I got some pontiac trim already its pretty long I just gotta shorten some stuf buy itll work great. That 2 link was nice but the notches were a bitch to put in with the body on. But in the end a sweeet kit im super stoked

 

Just saw this thread today, great job cant wait to see it finished, shit can that lady weld. Very Nice. Larry

 

Cool work, it's looking good.

Keep the pics coming.
