Lets ruin a perfectly good stock 61 bonnieville lower and mildly restyle it

yeah got deleted also dont know why. CANT WAIT TO SEE HOW ALEX DOES THIS ONE UP!!!

 

Alex, fuck that car up. Awsome to start with such a clean car. You don't need to waste time patching up rusted out panels. Keep the update pics comming.

 

Sometimes (even if you're in the right) if you're responding to the drama your post will get deleted. I would think it's just easier for the mods to wipe out all of the drama than to just clean up the negatives. I'm glad I missed the drama.

 

thanxs ryan i didnt mean to start a bunch of crap any ways lets get to the piont of this thred any ways
sorry guys some how i lost the rest of the restyling photos to show how every thing was metal finished so we will have to jump strait to where we are today
we shaved every thing off the car so far except the gas door the owner didnt want to shave it but i think we will accidently have to shave it any ways this car is getting a panel paint job and that damb gas door is in my fucking way . we took the side molding apart and separated the spear from it and desided to keep it we havnt shaved the trunk key lock yet ether we plan to do a tail light job and make the tail fins out of sheet metal and change the shape a bit any ways heres the pics



that gas door is killing me sloowly

 

Well boy'z? Look'y what he done to 'er!

 

so next were gona do tail lights of some sort ?, grill , & gas door hijack might need some photo shop help

 

before

after

 

Looks good .

 

OMG you left those hideous winshield wipers?

 

Wow. As it sits right now, that thing is just plain beautiful. Can't wait to see it finished. FWIW those eight lugs look damn nice with the trim rings and white walls.

 

Hide the gas filler in the fin like a '57 Chevy.

Your before/after pics are looking promising.

 

Jesus titty fuckin christ. You have ruined that perfectly.

 

Subtly beautiful!
Well done!

 

Oh !!!!! no you didn't , looks great

 

Beautiful.

That little bit of lowering just KILL it!!!!!!

 

I had a feeling...

 

Looks great! I bet a photoshop with the gas door gone will change the owners mind.

 

Agreed! See if this makes 'em see the light...

Really like the mods so far, a great cleanup that brings out the beautiful lines of the car. I was kinda hoping you'd decide to get rid of the "Bonneville" lettering on the side by metal finishing the holes in that big stainless molding (is that even possible???) which would retain more Bonneville identity and keep it from looking too much like a long-ass Catalina (however, that's not necessarily a bad thing!)

Replacing the musclecar tires with those perfect WWs improved it about a billion percent!

 

Very nice. Flake and lace the top and you're good to go!

 

WOW!!! my man parts are tingling!!! man I would love to have that fucked up car in my garage !!!! Nice work Alex. Just enough, hell I like it in plain white !!

 

It's perfect the way it is Alex. Wheels and all. God forbid someone uses '"incorrect" wheels on a custom!!

But go give a panel job to something that needs it. This doesn't.

 

my marginal attempt at getting rid of the taillights. I don't know where to put them now, maybe cast some the shape of the chrome part of the fin? anyway, you will figure it out and it will be a knockout.

 

Looks really good Alex and yes that gas door sticks out like a sore thumb now and needs to go. I am with some of the others and am not sure about the panel job but I am sure it will be killer.

 

Looks good. I think the tail lights as they are look too much like a 62-64 Chevy, so I am looking forward to your changes. I like it in white.

 

Amen! Couldn't have said it beeter myself. Just perfect the way it is...well, maybe the gas filler door needs to get eighty-sixed!

 

beautiful work...much improved

 

Picking up on Monty's taillight-ectomy, how 'bout '59 Bonneville/Star Chief lights? Different but still keeps it in the Bunky Knudsen-era Poncho stable...

 

Love the tail light swap ala photo shop, car looks killer!

 

Just enough Alex....it makes you want to look at it more and more.
