the shoebox gets fins...(yeah,,,for real,,)

I like it...... but I can't wait to see it in primer with just one color on it. I am sure it will look great then.

 

haha! Bill Hines status! I dig it!!!

 

do you have any more pictures of that car? i know i have a picture of it somewhere and i think a magezine with it in it... i just cant seem to find them.

 

have you thought of buick tailight i saw some frenched in on a shoebox and thought it looked differant

 

I like it !!! My younger friends don't care for this style, but I like'm...

 

sounds like a plan sweetie,,,,
bring your sawzall,,,,,


the more i look at the car,,the more i am actually towards chopping it...with the fins, it changes the peoportions somewhat, and a mild chop would improve the lines, you are right

 

hahah,,,,,joe bailon will probably sue me first,,,,(or maybe bill hines).....

 

thats the dick del curto ford i was talking about,,,,thats the car that provided a lot of inspiration and motivation for doing the fins on my car,,,where did you get that picture?..that's a beautiful shot,,the only one i have is on the cover of one of the little mags from the 50s...

 

I should have mentioned, I pulled that over from Rik Hoving's incredible site. (World's best custom archive!)

(Thanks, Rikster!)

 

I totally agree. I think the fins make the top look at little bulbous as they tend to slim the look of the body. A mild chop would look outstanding IMO. Very cool build!

 

I like it alot but i would rather see the headlites in a verticle position. dig the 53 Buick rims. I had a friend that did the same fins on a chopped 55 Ply. back in 1956 [ a new car] They called it the BATMOBILE. A great custom. Keep up the good work.

 

thats what my 57 chevy wagon had onit when i was building it, looked cool on the wagon, not to sure on a sedan, guess it wold grow on ya after awhile

 

So, how did it turn out?

 

You're JOKING, right???

Well excuse me for not seeing every single thread. Because it looks like a completely different car now. But thanks anyway for the link.

 

That site is the best.
