slownlow Posted February 26 Posted February 26 This is the end result of the post “clamping quandry” from Dec 8 the tips tricks ….. category. The grill is the stock one with the center bar removed and a Corvette type fitted in. The wheels are the stock ones from MPC 67 GTO. To get her lower I “channeled” it by taking about .125” out of the interior tub plus adding blocks to the rear springs and using the kit supplied lowered front spindles. Channeling also needed a section taken out of the front inner wheel wells. Lowering brought the carbs above the hood but with the help of a false fingernail that issue became an asset. I wanted a sun visor to add attitude and molded one into the roofline. I don’t know why I spend a lot of time on interiors as they become hard to see when the car is done. Anyway we do this for the fun, right. 7
espo Posted February 26 Posted February 26 Great looking body work and the paint looks great as well. I like the fake fingernail hood scoop; I'll have to remember that idea.
karbuildr Posted February 26 Posted February 26 Sweet ride. Nothing like a low custom with wide whites.
Zippi Posted March 1 Posted March 1 The 51 Chevy Fleetline looks mean and ready for action Bob. Nice build.
ybsluos Posted March 1 Posted March 1 Bob chopping one of these slope backs is no mean feet and you did one of the finest jobs I’ve ever seen on one! -Mark
