yep...been dreaming of one for years....just trying to understand why i like what i like on them before i jump into it.
damnit..... i was totally gonna burn you but you caught yourself..... hahaha... see what happens when i remember my hamb password!!!
All I know is Mike Ness' is one of the sickest kustoms anywhere. If you were gonna build an early '50s Chevy, that's the best place to start.
sorry dont want to steal your post ..but was wondering what taillights are in this car?..got a better pic from the rear?
Coles '54 is my all time favourite, but I'm partial to '54's. I think that it's because it has a fair amount of work done yet looks so subtle in design. This is from his site, there are a few little shots there.
Garage magazine number 2 has a pic or two of them together I believe. I love 53 and 54's. Cole built some beautiful machines there. Garage magazine however...(just send me my issues that I paid for...) Sorry, OT rant. Tito
This thing is right up there with anything from Barris, Windfield, Cushenberry...etc. One of the nicest kustoms ever. So subtle, though the thing is practically hand fabricated. Oops, I just drooled on my keyboard.
My ol hoopty was a Cole cut car.....I had gotten it from a fellow HAMB'r Deadfast33 it now lives close to me in Santa Cruz and is a satin metallic red.
a one off color.....mix of base, flake and candys, I didnt paint it, im not THAT good a painter. Emilio at Evil Wheels in SC did it....car isnt that color anymore.
Cole's rides are truly some of the cleanest rides that exist... Roaddevil 13's is my all time favorite....Its ashame to think its been repainted!
Try www.50chevy.com lots of 53-54 chevy pics on there, I am sure Cole's is also. this is a great site for 54 chevies also. http://public.fotki.com/Rikster/11_car_photos/beautiful_custom_cars/
I remember when you were selling that 54, we even talked about it...you mean to tell me that someone painted over that paint job? What the?
Just thought I would throw a couple of Fortier' '53. I really think that his car is right up there with some of the nicest suttle customs with all the 53's and '54's out there
Does anyone know what Cole used as the grille surround? Looks like a'50 Ford or ?. I sent him a PM but he hasn't responded,...he must be busy fixing his hair!
I believe it was listed on e-bay too a few months back cause he was using Cole's name (if i remember right??) in the listing...its a damn shame!
