Features 53 & 54 chevy photo thread

Nice , I've never seen a 53 with a rear window from a 49 before, and the packard lights are awesome too! I'm gonna put a shoebox window in my 53

It was originally going to get a 50 Shoebox back glass but I was chopping a 49 at the same time.....the shoebox fit better in the 49 so that where it went!

The only pic I could find of the 49 (the yellow one) thats the 54 next to it

mitchell, i hate to say it but the welds on this thing are horrendous. holy cow. that looks like an abortion.

 

Here is my friend Ted's 54 hardtop. He's a member of the Leadheads..

 

One i had about 34 years ago. All original convertible. Should have kept this one!

 

A very small update on mine from the last page. I pulled the misplaced spots/peep mirrows/skirts, ground out the white walls a bit, painted the wheels red(I know, I know....damn rat rod), and slapped on some caps I had hanging on the garage wall.

 

My Bel Air

 

mine, cant decide if i wanna leave it alone or chop it.

 

Damn dirtbag, that thing looks spot on to me!!

 

Dirtbag, Looks sweet as is, leave it!

OldGold, Mind if I PM you, got a question you might be able to answer, don't want to dilute the thread too much?

 

Yeah Dirtbag, I love the look of that just how it is!

 

No problem....I dont get on here as much as I like to but I'll watch for ur pm....

 

Was looking for a builder project for a custom, found this 54 and fell in love, enjoyed it for a great Summer, knew I couldn't cut it up and ruin the patina, so sold it to persure building one again...amazing car.

 

my lastest creation!

is this 53 bagged? great stance

 

heres my 53 which was rescued from sitting in the desert for eternity

 

this is right after I finished it-

And this is how I have it now. As soon as I can find an original set of Buick reverses I'll put WWW's on it again and set it in the weeds

 

My project

 

This is my old wagon!!!! Much better now then when I had to sell her. Came from Washington state and I had it in Oregon. I believ the guys name was Ken that bought it from me. Very nice to see it again.

 

Here's my beater.. I have a serious love/hate thing with this car.

 

First post. Noob. Long-time lurker.

My 54.

Just got a Mustang II put in and got it bagged. I'm a little concerned that it cambers so much when all the way down. Going to talk to the shop this weekend. I noticed most pics on bags don't camber as much. Should I worry? BTW, I'm new to all this...my first project.

 

Awesome! That's kinda how I see my '54!

 

One more...

 

This one came out of storage unit here in Austin last summer. Had not seen daylight in 10 years

This is the new power plant 5.3 L and 4L60 with 72mm turbo



I wrench and drive this `54 Stock class winner at DOTD last two years

 

bro I feel you in ways that words cant describe...

I have poured so much of myself into my 54 only to still be kinda eh about it, last week I had a dude with some deep pockets going for a ride in it because he was talking like he wanted it, Later I was seriously relieved that we couldn't work the deal out...

It's like having a crazy ol lady, she wears your nerves out but damn the sex is good...

 

btw JKustom, yours is the one Ian chopped right?

he did such a stellar job! makes me wish that I would have taken mine down one more inch...

yours is chopped perfect, just right.

mine, unless its parked next to a 53/4 doesnt look chopped, which I am cool with but I wouldn't argue with 1 more inch, but hell who would right?

 

CHOP IT!

just absolutely no more than 3 inches!

 

Any info or pics of this 54?
