59 Plymouth Kustom

[Kanada Kustoms]

I just finished this and it's ready for primer.  It's an original Johan 1959 Plymouth Fury.

 

What's been done:

- Lowered on Modelhaus 430 tires and Modelhaus Cadillac Saber wheels

-Removed all the trim and badges (except the rock guards on the rear wheel wells) along with filling in the fuel filler door and rounding the trailing edge of the fins

-Up Front: 1955 Chrysler headlights x4 & 1956 Plymouth grill bar modified with scratch built grill bar wrap arounds on the sides

-Up Front: Scratch build blade bumper, pan and surrounding headlight sheet metal, lowered the bottom of the hood and blended it with adjacent sheet metal

-Up Front: Sloped the fender tops down a scale inch so the fender tops didn't look so ridged / Terminated the wheel well flare like a 1960 Dodge Fender

-In The Rear:  Filled the openings for the old taillights and license plate and made the bumper recess one smooth line with not interruptions across the back of the car

-In The Rear: Scratch built the rear bumper and pan / Installed 1965 Chevy taillights

-In The Rear: Removed the faux spare tire cover

Great looking work so far.

Tastefully done, well thought-out and integrated modifications that enhance a cars original lines and character rather than obscuring or competing with them are the highest form of the customizer's art, and you're hitting it.

Well done.

Ditto Ace's comment--the car is looking mean and clean. I like how you've tightened up the design and let the coolest parts of the original design remain.
