After grinding the lakes off at the autocross course, no wonder they need to vacate the premises....

 

Well, Brent is done with his part and he did a great job. I love it. Now it's off to BigO's shop for the body work and paint.

Here you go;

Looks good. Whats the elevator on the wall off?

 

Huh?
Whachyoutalkinboutwillis???

I think Doc is asking about that thing in the upper left of this pic.

 

Gotcha.
Brent is a vintage airplane buff. He has a bunch of cool plane stuff. I don't know the first thing about planes.

Are those '56 DeSoto front bumper guards, mounted on the back bumper as tail lights? That's awesome, I always wanted to do that! (I actually wanted to make the exhaust come out there like on a '55 T-bird, but either way it looks great. Perfect shape to fit the car.)

 

Thanks.
They're actually the turn signal pods from the front grill of a '56 DeSoto. Good eye!
I also thought about using them as exhaust ports but decided on the taillights.


BloodyKnuckles

 

those tail lights look KILLER MAN- I love it.

 

i have to agree the taillights look bitchin , the car looks great man..

 

damn i love working for this guy...

BTW....Deltone, get to work!

 

I'd be honored to have my '52 Cranberry parked next to that at a car show.

Looks freakin awesome.

 

Dude that Plym is righteous(sp?). Those only look good with some off the top!

 

looking good, Nice job..

you are correct the guys on the other board might not care for what you have done. I did some posting on the truck side of me screwing up (their thoughts not mine) my rare dodge woodie with one of Bretts MII frontends and the BBC and I could tell it was not what they would have done.. I am sure they were thinking I was the devil for cutting on it.... but oh well (I may have redeemed myself some by noting I was going to pull the BBC and install a 392 hemi instead)

 

Now hurry up and get that bitch on the road..........

 

looks slick man!

never thought I'd look at an early 50's Plymouth and say 'damn, that looks good!'

haha

 

woo - big honking HEMI MAN

lets here the details man!!!!

 

Thought I would share a few updates.
The car is at BigO's shop. He had a few concerns about the back widow frame so we contacted Brent and within 10 minutes all was well. Mike worked all day friday and made great progress.
I have been considering painting the roof a different color, possibly non-metallic silver.

Things should move right along at this point. Time to focus on getting my glass cut.

Chop looks great. These 50's Plymouths look even better when sectioned. I'll search thru my pics for one.

 

I'll have some updated pics tomorrow. BigO has been busting his ass. Can't wait till tomorrow!


BloodyKnuckles

 

how do you cut your ass?

 

Dude, you aint right!! Why are you fuckin' with my post? Noone's aloud to edit my posts except me or you if you ask nicely, jackass!


BloodyKnuckles

 

May I edit???

any new pics????

It WILL be done at dixie fried this year right???

 

Hey guys, this is BigO, owner of "Early Rods & Customs". Thought I send some pics of BKs car as of last night. Its taking some time to do because I'm metal finishing the roof. I'll post more pics as we go. Hope you like it.

 

Its actually much smoother than it looks in these pics...

 

It is really going to be so much faster that way. It looks great too
