    Small update on the 54, I have been wanting to redo the entire front end on it for a while.. I have a lil more planned, but this is how far i have gotten... I have to thank Adrain for guiding me on how to get what i had in brain into reality and Roger for the beauty rings and spider caps. I hope to get it done for Autorama in November...

    Nice work man, funny thing about a 54 is that it's one of the nicest front ends ever to come from a factory (look how many other customs are running them) so anything you do runs the risk of looking worse than stock. It takes some cajones to start cuttin' one up, but it looks like you're plan is right on though.

    Very kool kustom- I like the frontend treatment too- Not something I see everyday. Are you using any lead or just regular body filler? Keep us posted.

    Why not use lead??

    I dig the front end. It's good to see something other than the usual.
