Gto my car back from Brian last week and just getting around to posting some pics. He nosed, decked, shaved filled with bondo ( im on a budget) and primered. Im absolutely loving it , hope you guys do too. Scallops coming next week I hope..
Lookin good SP! Bass is stayin busy! I wish the hollywood types would get a clue and do a show on a shops like Bass's. Theres so much cool stuff goin on over there I get inspired every time I see it! Watcha runnin in that ol Ford? We gonna see it a Pistons & Paint?
Runnin' the original Y -block, and o'yeah it'll be at Pistons and Paint. I got my pay-pal sent a day before deadline. Procrastination is a bitch. Thanks for the kind words...Dave
Me likey. It's funny though. When I got my first '62 Olds it had shaved handles. One day not too terribly long after I got it together (it was still mostly disassembled), one of the kids bumped into one of the bondo covered holes with the handlebars on his bike. Well damn...guess I'll just put them back on. And I see those Olds caps...got the same ones on my car. They look good on just about anything. Enjoy! Olson
Dave, do you have a before picture you could post? I unfortunately didn't take any. I'm really glad you're happy with it...I think the "Dr. Pepper cooler green" is a good color for that car. But it needs scallops! Thanks guys... -Brian
The scallops are coming Im thinking maybe next week (Monday or Tuesdsay) So get off my back !!! I bartend for f@#k sake.. Just kiddin' heres a before shot
Simple white scallops with contrasting pinstriping to highlight the body lines...I'll probably do some striping on the decklid as well.
Hey Brian, Im pretty sure he was asking me. Im thinking about doing some simple white scallops with contrasting pinstriping to highlight the body lines He'll probably do some striping on the decklid as well. I hope I helped explain it a little better. Hey Brian how does Monday sound.......?
Very nice.. There are just way too many 53's 54's in Dallas.. By far this is one of the coolest! Brain, you paint this car? Neal0o
Neal...yes I did...well I put it in tinted primer anyway. See the before picture above when it was pink...uh I mean maroon. That's what it looked like when Dave brought it over. I shaved all the emblems and handles, filled the holes, did some minor bodywork, sprayed it, and added the '55 Olds caps. Dave....I thought you were leaving all the color decisions up to me? Monday will probably be OK.
God Da@# it !!!! The color was called Desert Rose not pink. Thanks again for the kind words guys.. And Brian you have total artistic license. Just dont make it as gay as it was. Btw can I have my Cher cd and dvd you borrowed back. I miss it.
Hey I watch "Mask" for the cool bikes and the little deformed boy...not for Cher. Get it straight. I don't have any excuse for the Cher CD. I guess I just like power ballads...is that so wrong?
You need no excuse for diggin' Cher, I for one celebrate her entire catalog. After all it is my cd and dvd.
Oh hell I'm getting a bad image in my head I can't shake. Bass high on bondo dust dancing around sing gypsies, tramps and theives. Since the car looks good I gues its O.K. You gotta listen to whatever motivates you.
