    I always had a soft spot for Dennis' '52...or as he calls it, the car that should have never been built. I got to see a picture of it before they started, and the work put into this car was incredible.

    Looks nice, but a 53 never becomes anybodies favourite 49-52 no matter how much you customise it. :D

    I was going to say McPhails Chevy because it is my all time favorite. Since it has already
    been posted on the HAMB I thought that I would post my first one that I feel in love with.
    Jimmy Vaughn's fastback, Love how the stainless compliments the top.

    Mckee thanks for posting those pics. It was a surprised to me and a real honor at the same time to be on the cover of Rod & Custom. I don't know if my car is nice enough for a feature because its still a work in progress!

    Those pics are great! I've never seen it in anything other than the lavender color it's in now. I like that two tone combo.
     
  14. This one rates right up there, you have to see it in person to see how flawless it is

    I love this car, hands down my favorite 49-52 Chevy.. and I am fortunate enough to have met the owner. He lives in Michigan and is a member on the HAMB, his name is Keith...
    I have a poster of this car on the wall in my house and find myself just starring at it sometimes.

    OK, that's perfect, the inline six and column shift sealed the deal. Absolutely love the color. The only thing I would do is to take the black paint off the radiator top and polish the shit out of it.
