Jantrix Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 Gary, it's always good to see your work here. We missed you at JAXCON the last couple of years, plans on returning?
Harry P. Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 Nicely done... but those unpainted white plastic wheel backs have got to go!
Joe Handley Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 That is cool looking, love the stance and flake in it too! Nicely done... but those unpainted white plastic wheel backs have got to go! Could be meant to look like brake drums painted white Harry
gseeds Posted November 17, 2011 Author Posted November 17, 2011 Nicely done... but those unpainted white plastic wheel backs have got to go! thanks harry, but those unpainted wheel back's or drums are painted, painted White, back in the 60's and early 70's the thing to do on this style of car in at lease in So Cal was to paint the wheel well's,drums and even the gas tank white, to give the car a real clean look, along with the metal flake paint,the cragar wheel's and rabit ears,the white drums would be period prefect for this style.
crazyjim Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 Outstanding. Another multi-colored masterpiece. And SHINY :)
Joe Handley Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 Were the rabbit ears for an on board tv?
retrobuilder Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 This is true. back in the '70s i had a '59 chevy impala and the rear diff, gas tank and trunk bottom were painted white(bought it this way) also has a furry interior(took this out).

gseeds Posted November 18, 2011 Author Posted November 18, 2011 Were the rabbit ears for an on board tv? yep, for a TV, i grew up in long beach caifornia and would see these on custom cars as a kid.
carrucha Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 Sweet build. Keep up the good work. I really dig all of your early lowrider builds.
Guest Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 This is a cool looking '66 Gary! Great work on all of the body mods and the paint is stunning as usual! What's the rear panel from or did you scratchbuild it?
Modellpularn Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 WOW!! Your paint jobs are outstanding! Whenever I think: "this is one of the best he's done" you show another one...! I really like the candy purple/burgundy, and the candy yellow. They work well together. Coool!!
Terry Jessee Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 WOW!!!!!!! What he said. In-cred-ible!! Terry
