Irvin Arter Jr. Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 (edited) I got this stripped build up in trade from MJ. I made a mild kustom out of it. Wheels and tires from 53 Chevy Corvette. A set of Bob Dudek's side pipes. Rear cover from 59 El Camino. Paint is light green pearl, PPG clearcoat with white pearl inter. Spots are from the parts box. The decal on the grill is from 60 Impala. Rear tailights and chrome rings are from 60 Impala I ground off the ring from the Impala rear panel enjoy! Edited March 14, 2009 by Irvin Arter Jr.
Risto Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 WOW!! That's schweet ! I really like the mild custom look on this and the color is just awesome, not too flashy, but with a little gotcha factor. Very cool indeed!!!
fordh8r Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 I like builds like this. It just has that "look". I think the color and those whitwalls really make the fit for the era. Nice job!
RJWood Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 I really love the look you achieved on this. The paint, wheels & tires, and stance are all perfect. very well done.
Lyle Willits Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Beautiful! You could accidently leave this one at the Mid-Atlantic NNL and I'll carefully take it home and put it in my showcase.
Tom Kren Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 wow great job good to see ya building again!
Andy Wyatt Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 She's a beauty Irv! Always enjoy your builds!
Irvin Arter Jr. Posted February 8, 2009 Author Posted February 8, 2009 thanks guys! I am thinking about using the Impala rear panel with 3 taillights. We will see
SteveG Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 Nice work Irv !!! I also have a stripped built up '60 El Camino just begging to get restored. I hope mine comes out lookng that good. -Steve
carrucha Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Sweet custom El Camino. Cool color choice for the body. carrucha
MrObsessive Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 Beautiful Job Irv!! I too have a built up that could stand restoring..............you don't see many of these as they are soooo hard to find! I'm tempted to one day kitbash it with the '59 to get full engine detail............
george 53 Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Another job well done,Irv.The photo's are exceptionaly nice! And Bill, you can make a NICE 60 by useing the chassis and engine compartment from the 59 Elky,They interchange without ANY problems.I did it, and it came out pretty good, if I say so myself! Go for it,Daddy-O!
racer13 Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 She's a Beaut Irv! It looks 1:1 in the outdoor photos.
Raul_Perez Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 I don't know how I missed this one the first time through. That is one really nicely built Chevy!! Congratulations on a GREAT build!! Later,
