FordRodnKustom Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Finally finished this one up, my latest build. The result of a "rebuild restore" CBP on another forum. Long strange trip, tried a few new ideas and techniques and learned a lot with this build. It fought me every step of the way and really, really tried to get smashed to bits several times. Glad it's done. Here it is...warts and all. Started with this old build up Somehow ended up here. Build album here if interested.

Curt Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Beautiful! It reminds me of a car you'd see at a custom auto show back in the day. Really nice work transforming that old built-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunajammer Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 What a glorious custom. Not sold yet on the redlines but everything looks very exciting. Nice photography choices too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the fenders I sectioned in part of another body.About the redlines, I couldn't decide which to use so I went with one set on each side. They come off and are easily replaced.
