One Piece at a Time (Show Rod)

That grill looks great James!

Thanks guys, thought I'd try this next...

At this point I think I need to mock up the complete car to see how it is working together?

Now THAT works !!

After seeing it set up, I have to say I like it! Very unique, yet very retro. Looks like it was pulled right from Rod & Custom in the early 60s.

The theme flows together, front to back. The wheels, the stance, the attitude everything works! I like how you used the 58 Chevy headlight brows over the grille, good idea. Keep it up!

Looks like a couple pix went missing when I cleaned up my folder!

Like this version of the grill. Fits the rest of the car. Keep up the good work.

Digging your latest update. Grille and headlights look great

Anyone else having issues seeing the older pictures in this thread?

All the pictures were lost when the folder was changed.

Thanks guys, I went ahead and replaced a few of the pictures....

Thanks. This build is too cool not to see it as it all comes together

Cash was known as "the man in black" so that would be an appropriate paint choice.

Looking for one of these intakes, any help?

[James2]

This is what I've come up with...

Monogram's Lil' Coffin has an intake and carb setup similar to that. Your solution looks good.

[Oldcarfan27]

Your intake looks good, just run some fuel lines across it like the photo and it'll work great!

That's what I'm hoping for...

[James2]

I may have come up with a suitable solution...

Mock up with a light sanding primer coat...

James, that is looking killer!!!! Love the idea on the grille surround. Kind of where I thought it was going to go initially when you started putting the 58 on the rear deck!! 

[Modelbuilder Mark]

Unique indeed!

[James2]

Sectioned up this bumper this afternoon. I cut the ends at the factory seam and then spliced in the center for a license plate holder...
