Hot Rods Blowing this thing apart

I want a finished car…..

 

We went from this To this over the week end, me and my 12 year old grandson

 

I've seen more than one horror story start exactly like that. Good thing you have a helper for motivation.

 

Fun project , and great to see a young guy helping out!!!

 

Well, I want a Deuce, but we can't have everything, can we? Just buck up, keep training the kid, then sit back and watch him do it while you sip cold ones!

 

Right on gramps. You got me thinking about mine now and how much I admired him as a kid. There wasn't anything mechanical he couldn't fix.

 

Olds power, an admirable transition, what year are you aiming for as the inspiration, color choice, keeping the mags...no pressure, just curious...I know you grew up around the culture so regardless, I'm super happy for you @nochop and even happier your taking us along for the ride...

 

Olds conversion! I will be following along on this build for sure. Good to see another Olds in a hot rod.

 

Way cool, I´ll be watching!

 

Fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree, looks like the youngster will enjoy and be a great help!
Grandad looks like he still has a twinkle in his eyes also.

 

Looking forward to seeing it done.

 

Hey, you two even dress alike! Looks like a great redo and you definitely have Great help. What's the plan besides the Olds?

 

Atta boy! So cool to have your grandson helping, learning.

 

Great stuff, enjoy the journey!

 

Thats a million-dollar picture with your grandson. Ya, the car is cool also.

 

So far, a version of Washington Blue, slightly off gloss, keep the mags, I would like to have a set of steel wheels and run ‘56 Olds caps. Red and white tuck and roll interior.

 

Me too

 

See my reply to Stogy below….actually above….

 

Your picture made me think of this! I guess that's why I save most Everything Automobilia.

 

Way back and now

 

I love seeing the proper use of the exploitation of child labor

 

Man, taking the car apart and the weather is getting nice, your going to have to crack the whip on that grandson & yourself if your going to be driving the coupe this summer! HRP

 

Today’s fun

 

Should be a good thread! Keep us posted

 

Next up, gut the body for the blaster…..

 

Blaster? What media will you be using?

 

Sending it out to someone who knows what they’re doing. They do a two stage process.

 

Some body shots

 

Bet it comes apart and goes together easier than the first time! Looks like quick progress

 

Yup, now I know HOW I want it finally finished
