Wonderbread Kustomz

Thanks bro... Got the inner wheel wells removed so now it lays completely out.. Up next is the frame...

Goin with Pegasus Torque thrust, 19/23 inch combo... Frenched and angled the license plate box...

Thanks Jesse! That's not a bad idea...

After debating on what to build next...I have decided to build the 53 Chevy panel... I originally wanted to do a lowrider with it, but then I thought about doing a mild custom.. So here's the story... Earl was out and about on a parts pickup run at the local garage where he works... His first destination is a junkyard about ten miles from the garage.. He's about ten minutes early, so he lights up a cigarette and walks around and as he's walking through the gate, to his left he notices a few salvage cars sitting ... He couldn't take his eyes off the 53 Chevy... Staring at it, his eyes light up and he starts getting some ideas... He says to himself " man, this thing would look killer layed out on some big chrome rims"... The more he looked, the more he was wanting this truck... The owner comes around the corner telling Earl he's ready to show him where the parts are that he needs to get... Forgetting about his job for a moment, Earl asks " Hey, how much you want for that Chevy panel?" The owners says to him " $1,500, and she doesn't run, so you'll need a trailer for it" After a bit of thinking and negotiating, Earl got it for $1,200.... Earl finished his route and managed to get off early to go and grab his Crew cab and trailer...and a couple of his buddies went with him to get the truck... Took them about an hour and a half to get the panel loaded up and headed back to Earls house where they unloaded it in the driveway... Earl takes a look under the hood and wasn't surprised to see there wasn't a motor in there.. The interior was a ratted up mess , empty beer cans, trash, and wires all over the place... But Earl had a vision and he managed to start immediately working on cleaning out the inside of the truck... And the kit I'm using with a mockup...

Looks great bro!

Very nice work!

Thanks fellas...

Man that's nice!

Thanks Carl... I know what you mean bro... Thanks Shaun... Oh yea, I get it... Lol Thanks to everyone for the good comments...

Oooh, a gasser would be killer! Thank you... It's Mopar Platinum silver...

Thanks... It's the Monogram Shelby Cobra S/C kit, red body with white stripes on the box art... Thanks bro...Actually, I didn't even think of that, I'll try that...

Thanks guys... Glenn, I didn't try that yet... But I'll do that..

Nice work!

Got this one finished... I would definitely build this kit again, however, I'm a bit annoyed at the fact the hood won't close completely flush.. I even sanded the air cleaners and trimmed the mounting posts on the carbs... And those side windows forget it! But anyways, here it is...

Can't wait to see more!

Spent most of the day yesterday waiting on AT&T to install U Verse internet... My dad's internet service provider sucks big time... So yesterday was a waste... Today, I got the brakes painted and gonna black wash the rotors and the wire wheels... The wheels will be for another build... And I also have the chassis mounted to the body and I've started installing all the chrome...

That's so cool!

Sucks about the paint, but you'll make it even better!

Can't wait to see more...

Man, that is some outstanding work!

Thank you Carl...

Thanks bro.. Yea, I knew I was going to have to grind the back of the rim down and trim the mounting pins too..

Thanks Shaun, I don't even see a hood scoop option on this kit... Even looked through the entire parts trees and nada...

Managed to get the interior finished up, and a mockup with the top... Still need to polish the body a bit, but it's got shine...

Looks good bro...
