Let's see your patina'd 55-57 chevys

Dont be fooled by the good lighting- there's plenty of rust and cancer the previous owner painted over! Anyone want to donate rockers?

 

BADASS! Magnesium equivelants for wheels and its perfect! (for me)

 

This was my delivery the day I bought it

 

Ouch! I dont think the windex caused that one

 

mine have owned it for 30 years...straight 6, fenton dual carb/exhaust

 

Here's my '55.

 

Here's my '55.

 

If it's got a title even this is savable these days. About 2 square inches of it anyway;-)

 

I would rather drive this then most anything they make today anyways. I think it's BITCHIN'.

 

there has to be more here on the HAMB?

 

Here is mine ill get back on this after i finish my shoebox ford

 

This car is too BITCHIN' to wait.

 

heres mine.

 

my dads 56 back in the day

 

Now that is a damn tough looking 56. That just screams 'hot rod'. I reckon the easiest way to fill your shirt with broken ribs would have been to mince up to this cat in your flamed shorts and perfectly coiffed hair with your perfectly coloured and positioned Sailor Jerry tattoos and comment on his "really cool old school patina'd traditional bitchin' gasser lost in the 50's shoebox".

They'd never find your body.....

 

guess I'll post a few of mine.. the first 57' is all original numbers 265 v8 car 210 delray...still in the original black paint too. yes it will get restored, but for now its tucked away in the back of my barn...all covered up for a long nap. The blue 57' is my current driver/project, 20yr paint still holding together well, just needs some minor freshing up. the 55' gasser was sold to a fellow member and is now almost done and 100% killer! the primer 57' was also sold to a fellow hamber, and then to yet another fellow hamber.. that was my first tri-5 and was my first real build. many memories where made with that car..

 

My 57;

 

I can see a Project X replica in that car.

 

Driving it down to the march meet in Bakersfield then over to Scottsdale for GoddGuys in March

 

Damn that sucks, old pic but still painful to see

 

Primer and/or patina looks cool, whether the old timers choose to admit it or not. Mine is kinda patina now, been running in Dp90 for the last 6 or 7 years.

 

Oh do tell heheheheh

 

this is a proper '55 I do declare. Maybe abit too pretty but this is my first attempt at building a tri five.

 

Looks pretty proper per my definition (s).

 

Well I thank ya kindly Dog Dish. DO NOT PAINT YOUR CAR. I love your grille. I'm also building a '57 Nomad that will NOT see the inside of a spray booth as long as I own it. Where did you get your grille?

 

sorry man but that patina looks cool is bullshi-.it looks like someone either is to lazy to paint thier car or no money.ran one with primer for a couple yrs,until i had time to paint it.

 

Well OUTLAW the majority says it is and Patina is a seasoned look. Only time can produce it. Can't be duplicated. It's original. Like custom paint only one car has it. Seasoned from miles on the road. Aged to perfection in a field, a backyard, a barn.
I'll never paint a car again if I don't have to. I drive an unrestored 1972 Corvette everyday that I will not paint and ya know, I get more compliments on my car then a restored one parked next to me. That has happened and I love it.
So you go ahead and paint your cars OUTLAW and join the Gold Chainers. We're the real OUTLAWS heheh.

 

well son say what you want. rust just aint cool.and brother im far from a gold chainer.if you call yourself a outlaw because you drive a rustyass car go ahead. ive lived the life for 40 yrs.i think i know alitte about being a outlaw.and it dont come from drivin rusty cars.

 

Ok you bet .....GRANDPA
