Falcon Ranchero Posted August 10, 2024 Posted August 10, 2024 For our high school art show in 2023 I was commissioned to paint on a car door, promoting the auto shop and art rooms (131 and 132), and so I took the door from my grandma's father's 1953 Chevy 210 (or what was left of it), and made this, below. I have an old photo of the whole car in 1960, you may have seen it in 1:1 reference cars under "Vintage Photos of Family Cars: PART TWO" but I have it in this topic, too. The door stayed at school for a year, but it now sits in our basement, taking up space, but it is nice to look at. Never could find a way to patch that hole, but it looks ok. Made it into the yearbook so it mustn't have been all that bad. 1

Holeinthehead2 Posted August 13, 2024 Posted August 13, 2024 I think you’ve hit on a business idea You could probably sell more versions 1

Would be neat to do an entire car like this.
