Customs Telstar,,,movin' right along,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Yep this project just keeps getting better & better!
Thanks for the recap Rikster. Amazing transformation.

 

this thing keeps getting cooler

 

There's no back seat to boink the chicks you'll be attracting with Telstar.

 

love the metal work
but now it looks like a 57 chevy to me
tk

 

Ha, ha, look harder.

 

IF he would've aired up the front tire while he was photoshopping, I could visualize the whole thing......my eye keeps going to the flat...

I must admit, I'm impressed, now...I kinda figured you were going in ten different directions...but it's coming together nicely...

R-

 

Harley Earl's got nothin' on you!

 

from above.....

 

lookin' great!
how much have you spent on green tape so far?

 

Any pics of the front end?

 

How much of the original car is left?

 

i think the hoods a stock shoebox hood

 

Yes, but it´s only a matter of time...

 

Nice!! What's up with the paint in your avatar??

Ian

 

That is James D's photoshop!!

 

Thanks for those progress pics! Oh man, amazing transformation. Looking forward to the end result.

 

working the deck area,,,,
could one of you photoshop guys photoshop the cut down doors shown with the tape?.....gotta explore ALL the possibilities,,,,,,lol...

 

It looks amazing Jim! there isnt one thing that i dont like about it. This is definatly going to be one of the best customs ever when its done

 

I can't believe I missed this build...amazing work.

 

wow,,,,,that was fast,,,,,
thanks!

 

You're welcome.

The cut-down door's a possibility I don't care for. Doesn't flow with everything else. I like the rest of your ideas though.

 

this was part of my inspiration for the cut down door idea,,,the bob metz "la rocket"
photos from Ricksters website,,,

 

Wow!!!

 

I'm with Tom. I never liked those cut out door tops, even on those '50's sports car styled customs. If anything, they take away visual mass from the bottom of the car, making the windshield/top larger looking. I believe most of us like to have that windshield on the smaller looking side, like in a car that looks "chopped".

 

I know...no one's a bigger fan of Metz' work than me. How 'bout something like this?

 

yeah,,,,im pretty much in agreement, just needed to consider the possibility......

 

not crazy about that either tom,,,,but THANKS a ton for taking time to do that,,

 

I kinda like the last one, but it would be major work to do (not that you're exactly afraid of doing major cutting).

I do really like your project and respect your talent, design ability and ambition.

 

i see maybe a bullet nose stude hood
