Features The Definitive "MILD CUSTOM" Photo Thread....

Does anyone know if this truck was ever finished? I dropped out of the scene for a few years and this is pretty much how I remember it looking about 10 years ago. I tried to find the old build thread too, but also came up empty.

Some beautiful GM Products.....

 

Thanks Sancho! Sad that it was never finished by the OG builder, but I probably would of traded for a 36 Ford as well!

 

I suggest you see the thread of its construction: A NEW MERC TO THE ROAD! There is a lot of crafts. They are going to have fun!

 

Yep.....love me a Rivi.....

 

Nice Buick....

My long ass Mild-Custom project that seems to be going nowhere fast! Ha!
A project that is heavily involved amongst many friends. Trying to accomplish it all through ourselves and our contacts.
"Don't look to close, half the car is in rattle can paint ha!"
Whats done:
Shaved-Nosed-Decked-Gas Door delete-Aerial Delete-Added grill teeth (9 in total)-FC Holden Number plate shroud-53 Olds Caps-55 Chev Tail lights (These have become a love/hate item on the car. We just tried something different. It's not ideal, but i don't hate them).
To-Do-List:
55 chev Rear Bumper Bar-Fender Skirts-Frenched head lights-One piece and peaked hood-53-55 Olds Fiestas with added flipper bars and centre bullet.

 

@CrcooperPhotography Taillights? I love 'em. You did something different that still works, still has that look. Keep up the great work.

 

I vote caps, chrome reverse or Moon full wheel discs, paint the wheel lip a color you like..

 

Magnificent........

It looks like you have the stock tail lights frenched... Superb.....

 

Thank you very much mate!! Appreciate that!

The dream set-up would be Moonglow's Frenched 56 chrysler Shark Fin's!

 

thank you yes they are, love your chevy very nice, are those 55 chevy headlights? nice touch, Tj

 

The simplicity and color choice of this one really impressed me! Good job!

Here are a few of my favorites..

 

This one does it for me!!

The lines on the 64 are so beautiful and they kept the door handles. Shame what happened to Ford in 65, when I saw the first 65 Impala after seeing the first 65 Ford, I remember thinking Fords done... These Fords were such badasses with the 427 and 406 mills...

 

A real good job on your most recent selections, Bowtie Coupe!

 

Uhm, I dunno about that. The 90's era Lincoln Town Car wheels on the otherwise kool '57 T-Bird aren't what I would call a 'real good job'. And the new-style curved spoke version of a Torque Thrust wheel on both those '54 Chevys seem outta place too. Is that blue/white '54 Chevy set up as a Pro-Street? Do we do Pro-Street on the HAMB?

 

Yes, I agree. I was being selfish, considering my personal taste. I understand completely the concept of a mild custom and what the creator of this thread had in mind when he started this thread. Here is his opening statement and request:

A Serious MILD CUSTOM Photo Thread....Preferably cars styled from the decade of 1955-1965. I know there is a lot of overlap, and this isn't about perfection or Show cars nearly as much as the cars that were "common" to that decade. Slight mods, Lowering, Nosing, Decking, Paint, Louvers, Hubcaps, etc.

I have followed this thread for years, and for years Cenurian9's request on "mild custom" posting has not been followed! I love 54 chevys, especially delrays, 54delray! And yes the blue 210 is set-up pro-street! Years ago, I had a photo I posted deleted. It was of Jerry Moreland's bad ass '40 Ford Tudor! It was declared to be "pro-street"! I have no qualms with the deletion! As the years have passed, the control over non-traditional content has seemed to ceased to exist! INMATES WON!
