James2 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 (edited) As if I didn't have enough projects, here's one more. I guess you gotta strike while the iron is hot! And since the Vic is in waiting... I picked this up at the NNL National for cheap. I wanted to build another semi-mild custom some what like my 59 Buick. It was a perfect build up to start with, that is until I started disassembly. Things went well until I removed the glass. In hindsight I would have ground the infected area down completely and then took the glass out. But that would have been to easy! But back on track now, I soaked the pieces in Purple Power for a few days and then finished the taking there of apart, after which I began messaging the body. Clean up and a few custom changes to come including a mild chop and some Lucas Headlights, de-chroming and bumper adjusting too! Here is where the fun begins...

James2 Posted November 2, 2016 Author Share Posted November 2, 2016 (edited) Here's another update... After the semi chop and vent removal, I decided to add some material to the window opening. And a couple shots of the body with new trim. I need to figure something out for the grill soon. Edited November 2, 2016 by James2 !!
