Keep up the good work! I am glad to hear your only 17. That pic you showed with no grill teeth looked very interesting? (Making an old man think)
I wish i could find a smooth 54 chevy grill. That would be killer. I just might have to fill the holes and get the whole piece re chromed. and along with that i am frenching the headlights, as well as filling the upper grill in with tubing.
Ok so as soon as i get my welder back i can starting doing all metal work around the car. Like my unfinished garnish moldings. Door button patch along with frenching headlights. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Try Chevs of the 40's. I can't tell for sure, but the '54 grille bar they sell appears to be undrilled.

I know exams are a BITCH. just finished mine up today, thank god. LOVE those kandy kolors, theyre gonna look good, how do you plan on separating the two? are you gonna do it by trim, or just shoot it on the roof?
There is a molding that goes around the bottom of the post's just above my door handle. So im going to lay the gold all the way down to that molding. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
that's gonna look real good. I would incorporate some flake in the paint as well, not too much, but a little flake adds to the traditional look a lot. another thing that is very traditional is removing all trim and putting just a sliver of chrome trim a few feet long flowing off of the rear wheel opening. and putting the paint separation on the roof. that's traditional, but then again its very widely done. but that's just my 2cents.
That's cool , agree with flamin ace regarding the flake . Either way it will be a very sweet car ! Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Thanks for tje suggestions. I have an old barris styleing book my grandpa gave me from the late 50's early 60's. I have the chrome strip down the side. I dont want to much trim,but none isnt very custom like the used to do. I would do the flake on the inside im not the flake guy Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
