Projects 59 chevy wagon in progress

Since we weren't going out tonight I spent my time going through this thread. I got to tip my hat to you your work is mind blowing. Your the master of your craft and I'm sure once it's done words won't be able to describe your emotions of such a detailed build. I'm subscribed so I can see it through to the end. OUTSTANDING WORK.......

 

That's It , I couldn't remember his name Yah he looked Excited in the elky

I made the tube out of just an ordinary stainless tube I don't know if anyone re-pops them.

Thank you for taking the time out to go threw it all

 

Happy New Year bro...Jim

Killer spark tube. Car is coming along beautifully. Amazing work as always.

 

I've been following your updates on Instagram for a little while now... and finally ran across your thread here. Amazing detail work, Cody --- Keep it up!!

How did you finish the holes on that spark plug tube? That car is a work of art.

 

Hey Cody.
Have looked at this thread a few times before but for the first time I´ve gone thru it all right now and there´s just one word came to my mind. INSANE. Your eye for details is incredible.Fu...ng good job.
Kenneth.

 

Holy Shit!!! Nads owns the Blue Bird '34?????

 

Or is this just a similar car? Chop looks heavier then the Blue Bird.

 

Awesome job so far... subscribed!!

 

Similar, hatchet job on the top done by someone lost to history. I drove her to work today.
Bluebird still exists, she's just a typical unrecognizable street rod.


Are the openings on the wire tubes chain links, Cody?

 

Happy new year to you too Jim

Thank you

with 1/8 stainless welding rod just Bent to shape and welded it on there

thank you , I was checking out the progress on you 59 as well it's going to be a killer car when your done , I can't wait to see how the taillight are going to turn out

Na it's just 1/8 stainless welding rod bent to shape and welded on , chain link probley would have been easier

So what are you gonna classify her as? I'd say custom.

 

You know nads I was thinking about this the other day , in some Aspects I think yah this is a custom , but then its so left field , an then I think that I've slightly changed so much stuff that some people are going to think its just a low wagon ,
So I'm still up in the air on that , it's not a mild custom , it's not a wild custom , I guess it's just a clean classy custom , ok I'm going to shut up I'm rambling on .....................lol

 

Whatever you want to call it, its kick ass!

 

Love the pods under the speaker grill. HRP

 

The pod setup is way cool, nice job. I go for the classy custom....Jim

 

THATS SO BAD ASS!

Cody - nice pod setup.

Are you going to put a bottom plate on that so that it meets the bottom of the dash and closes the hole when the pods are up?
And how will the mechanism work? electric?

 

I would go with 'full custom' since you have changed just about every little thing on that car. Are there any stock pieces left?

 

Thanks guys

I might bit not sure yet as I plan on having it closed when it's parked , im going to make it a mechanical mechanism , a lot let to go wrong , I'm basing it after a cowl vet mechanism .

Yah there's lots , the talegate oh wait I shortened the tag area , the doors Oh wait I changed the handles , the quarters , roof , rockers , glass but it still looks so very stock to me

 

Pods are sick!

 

thank you

 

Cody, I love the pod setup. Could you hook it to a vacuum switch so it rises when you start the car and drops when you shut it off? I know theres an aftermarket deal like this for licence plates, just can't think of who.

 

I like to think of it as a work of art. Call it what you want but it's just flat out cool.....

 

Would love to see a short video on how you do this. Think that's possible?
