    Heres a few more pictures of Billys 48 Plymouth. The car has pretty much looked this way since the mid 90's with the exception of the grill. It has been sitting for about the last 7 years but Billy is in the process of totally redoing it as more of a traditional custom. It's going to be raised up a bit (more in the front of course) and it will be getting skirts, fatter whitewalls, and caddy hubcaps. The carson top is fiberglass right now but he has plans to do a full original style carson top and make the front windshield look more like a convertible.

    Also, that Caddy grill is the one that originally came out of Cadzilla.

    Yeah he brought it to paso back then. He wasn't in the Deacons but hung out with them and the Shifters. In 2001 he joined the Shifters and is still a member.
     
  13. I have a bunch of pics of that car i think. They had two cars that were very similar that were always together if i remember correctly.

    The rear has molded fenders, and has been decked.
    Well there you go... Sledge beat me to it, some better pictures of the side profile of the Car.

    That's next on the list, redoing the windshield, and give it the appearance of factory convertable.

    I agree...his list of changes is long, it's going to take time, and money.

    Do you have any bigger pics of the car? Looks very cool. But to me, it looks like you should raise the front a little. Not lower the rear.

    Looks good to me the way it is, and I'd like to see it larger too. But then, I have no business on this thread; I like customs low all around rather than dragging their asses.

    It took me two hours to figure out how to post that picture. I'll keep working on enlarging it.

    Beleive it or not I did raise the front. But your right it should be a bit higher. I'll need to add some springs to it. I guess.
