Customs Telstar Update,,,sectioned another two inches,,,,

those are ultra rare 1957 amc matador hubcaps..saving the '48 mustang caps for a future project,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

Jim, Check out a 58 Impala rear glass, looks like it might be wide enough and has a neat slope, I don't know what the chances are of finding a rust bucket, but You might be able to cut out the surrounding frame and rear cowl area as the framework, A piece of cake for You !

 

a friend of mine has a shitload of wraparound windshields,,,im gonna go over there with a tape measure and see what i can find,,,,,i'll most likely find something that will need to be chopped at least a few inches,,and i''ll probably end up fabbing my own frame,,,,,,,,the shape of the 58 looks good,,,but it'll be too tall,,and its tempered glass,,,,so not able to cut it down,,,

 

that could possibly work,,,,gotta find out what the width of one of them would be,,,,anyone care to measure one for me?

 

That's bullshit! My other friend has the first Mustang off the line. I've seen it and it was definitely a '52 model. No hubcaps either... magnesium Cragars.

 

Sorry, I'm actually really enjoying your build

 

Nice work on the paint Jimmy D

It definitely has the 'concept car' look

 

James D that looks awsome. Jim this car is going to kick ass in a major way!!!

 

That's thinkin with yer dipstick Jimmy!!! Car looks cool.

 

YES!!!!!,,,YEAH!!!!! FANTASTIC work (as usual) JamesD!!!!
that color even kicks ass,,,,hadnt even considered a color like that,,,,but that WORKS!!

 

Thats badass!

 

Thanks!

That old gold colour would look good with maybe a red interior. Its all very "fifties concept car" at any rate. (Olds F-88)

 

James, your vision is excellent. You put this build into a whole new perspective.

 

James D. Can't that fancy photoshop thingy of yours put some air in them tyres for Kustom?

 

LOL - I keep waiting for Jim to do that!

 

Come on now. All us Kustom car guys know flat tires add to the overall lowness of the ride. Cars lookin good! Get er dun!

 

Glad you dropped the bubble top idea.

 

Just found this ...great stuff !!

Jim , I was thinking rear screens from late 50's Caddy , Chevy , etc. might work , have you considered sinking the glass into the cowl to reduce height , change angle etc. ?

I have a 'Concept Custom' in my head that needs excorsizing soon !!

 

check out his other threads... there has been progress.....
