Customs Check out CuznBrucie's new avatar......

I am nearing completion on my *low and not so slow* Fiddy One Victoria......just finished painting it a satin black and today I got most of the chrome back on.......

The holdup is my upholstery guy......a lifelong friend who is really jerking me off and hasn't found the time to finish all of my side panels.......can't put the interior together until he gets off his ass and gets my work done.......I am pretty pissed, and I am usually a pretty calm man......we had some heated words last week......not that it'll matter.....

Anyway, when the car is complete I'll post a build thread......there's a lot of work in this thing for *just a mild Kustom!*

Here's one pic I took today to give you the overall idea of the car........hope you dig it......



A lot more after it's complete.......

I like it ALOT

 

Looks good, one of those was supposed to have been my first car but my folks sold it for moving money.

 

Lookin good....can't wait to see more

 

Car looks great Bruce and I dig the grille?

 

I'm digging it BIG TIME. Why is it always a bitch when friends are involved in our projects? Can you say "DRAMA"??????

 

Skip......that grill is an early Cal Custom accessory.......it doesn't fit exactly right as I think it was meant to use in a '49-51 Merc by the shape of it in the back.......it was bought NOS in the original box by my friend, The Kingfish who I bought the car from last September....I was with him.....

I will run it until I decide on an alternative......any ideas? The span from parking light housing to parking light housing is 50 inches......need something that wide, or that I can somehow adapt........most grill bars are a good bit shorter.....
