I just don't understand why pics don't load right for me on here. This should have been on the last post.

Having spent many long hours cutting the windshield sections down to size I finally got it all together and in the car. So neat looking through glass for a change. The dash is about done and I had to raise the front end about 2 inch's for steering clearance. Hated to do it but I want it to be a daily driver.

My kind of car. I dig it ! [cl [cl [cl:D
Stance looks good to me in the pic with the skirts on. I would maybe drop it slightly in the rear for more of the classic "Speedboat" look. But then again maybe not.[ddd
Driveability is the key. I've seen many that look "Cool" standing still but don't drive for $%*&
Great to see another custom on the road.

I thought that the black was way to shiny so I spent the time to make it a bit duller. Taped it off scuffed it and put 3 coats of semi gloss clear on it. Way better. Got the rear bumper on and a few other things. Got a call from a friend that told me to go see a guy that had something I have been looking for a long time, glad my upholstery guy hasn't done my back seat yet.

Haven't been around for awhile,its been a very busy fall. I finished up the Camero from hell and a few other small jobs even did a couple peddle cars,lol.
Anyway been doing some odds n ends on the 52 but still not ready for the hood yet.

I am just starting a 37 Ford Club Cabriolet that will probly take up the shop most of the winter but I hope to be driving the 52 everyday next summer.

Glad to see you're still cranking them out, cosmic12. The Chevy looks just right. Nice, but you won't be afraid to drive it.
