OUTSTANDING, very well done!

That’s the nicest looking grill and tail light panel I have ever seen on a 62 bel air. With the fade paint it reminds it looks like a Gene Winfield custom. Great job 

[DumpyDan]

Beautifully Done, love the fade away paint.  A piece of art! 

[carrucha]

Cool custom.  Good job on the chop.  I really dig the paint job.

You sh0uld be very proud of this build, looks like it was done in '62 and featured in Rod & Custom, very, very nice !

[Peter Lombardo]

Beautifully executed on so many, levels.  Superb styling cues and super smooth paint, it just doesn't get any better.  Bravo, Bravo!

Man that is a Slick looking ride.  The color reminds me of a Dream Sickle.  Very nice.

Thanks for keeping track! lol It's been a long time since I've been online here  I'm a super slow builder but I actually finished one more build since I've been away. Stay tuned for another post!

That is absolutely beautiful !! Nicest 62 I’ve ever seen ! Great job !! 

Thanks! I think most 1:1 collectors would cringe if they saw a customized 409 Belair, but I would have no problem cutting one up like this!

Fantastic Kustom! The paint is perfection.

Thanks! I wish the pearl effect was more obvious, but I'm just happy the paint came out without giving me to much trouble lol

Ferby, that build is glorious! I could totally see that built 1:1 and showing at SEMA!  

Yes! Anyone out there other than me willing to cut up a perfectly good 409 Belair bubbletop? lol

WOW, that is beeeeuuuuutiful! I wish i could do a fade paint job like this! Really like the front and rear custom treatments as well as the chop and stance! Alan Mayes once said: Custom cars are rolling pieces of art and their builders are the artists. I can see true artistry here... ?

Thanks man! Fade and blend paintjobs take practice (like most things I suppose) but with a decent airbrush and candy paint you could certainly learn to do it too!

Very well thought out and beautiful job! 

Thanks! I took some progress pics along the way while I was building it. I'll get around to posting them in the WIP channel to share how a lot of the work was done

Thanks! Imperfections are in there, trust me lol I just hope the overall impression distracts the viewer enough so they dont notice them
