Customs 53 Chevy full custom build thread by Krazy Korys Kustoms

Thanks man I'm glad somebody likes the dang things. On the fenders I used the fender lips from a 61 chevy c-10 fleetside truck. I raised the fronts up 2 inches and lowerd the back ones 5 1/2 inches.

 

I remember seeing that car at the roundup last year. Its going to look a lot different once you get finished. I like everything you've done so far.

 

Subscribed! Cool Build!

 

More body work.

 

Man that 's looking good.But could you please keep the bondo dust off my model a.lol......... Keep up the good work!!!!!!

 

Thanks, but I guess I'll have to push that modle- A out in the rain sence nobody ever works on it.

 

Damn! ...that think looks EVIL!! I bet it would beat me up and take my sandwich!

Great work!

 

Hard to work when theres a welding hog in the shop. lol.. a 46 hog and now a 53 hog... If at all possible ill be there this weekend if the welder is avalible lol.. Im not in a hurry.OH and ill be bringing a 48 ford hog for you to weld on to....

 

Must be a slow day at work if you got time to reply lol...You lucky devil......

 

Wow you really did some cool stuff with this car, Its coming along very nicely. Im doing a 53 front end for a guy more of a mild custom. I welded the factory bezels to the fenders like you did, he also wants to weld the grill and gravel sheid on and smooth it in. He wont let me chop it, I really want to. I like how you took the center out of the grill. the car looks totally 50's AWESOME JOB. I wish I owned one of these cars

 

I'm not into the tail light treatment too, but I like very much all the other mods you did till now!

 

looks great! keep up the good work!

 

I must say I disagree with your idea that the tailights give the car motion. They aren't an integral part of the rest of your design but merely look tacked on. They don't need to stick out like flame throwers do be noticed. Much of the rest of the car is subtle and well executed, Do the same for the lights.

 

The build is looking great! I gotta agree with most everyone else, though. They kinda look a little "phoned-in". Not saying that you didn't put thought into 'em, just that everything else looks soo "right". I'd love to see the back end done up like a '54 Pontiac only without the hump and the bezels molded in. You're in TX there HAS to be a Pontiac in a field somewhere!

 

Nice work so far, I'm not going to jump on the " don't like the taillights" thing because it's only my opinion, and it doesn't matter what I think about them. But I do like everything you have done so far.

 

Way better!

 

Got the roof done tonight.

 

Lookin' good Kory! Your really startin' to kick that cars ass!!! Really lookin' forward to see the finished project!

 

Thaught I mite throw in a few misalanious pictures that I have saved.

 

This is a 46 chevy buisiness coupe that I am working on. Gave it a 31/2" chop and a custom hood and a 49 dodge grill. Cool car.

 

Off subject but what the heck. This is a 55 1st that we built a while back. 5" chop , 57 headlights lots of work.

 

did you just completely bondo over the beltline???
damn thats gotta be about an inch thick around that back window if you did.

p.s. im in to weird shit, but even i dont like those taillights. they already look custom being extended they dont need caddy lights sticking out another foot.

 

I did bondo in the belt line the valley on ether side of the belt line is no more than a 1/4" thick not an inch thick.


I don't think a 1/4" is worth the time and effort to cut it out and add metal in.

 

Lookin good man, cant wait to see more !!

 

Gettin closer.

 

ive been thinking about doing something similar to my beltline area look forward to seeing a full side profile shot when you roll her out

 

Never seen the beltline removed like that, very interesting! I cant wait to see what it looks like with some paint on it!

 

Man yall have been busy looking good.Damn sure does look diffrent with out the belt line I like it!!!!!!!!

 

Gettin closer on the body work. Hope to have it in primer by the weekend.

 

gettin closer to roundup and viva las vages were going to make it
