Vilperi Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 My latest build inspired by Ron Dunn´s old custom. An 3 scale inch section job, custom grille from AMT 51 Cevy upsidedown and slightly reshaped, 57 T-bird headlights and AMT 58 Impala custom taillights cut in halves. Painted whith a mix of silver,gold,copper and bronze to get an early 50´s feeling. Tryed to build after the device less is more.
Badluck 13 Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 Looks very cool,kinda has that European flair to it.........
BOSWELL891 Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 (edited) Looks great i like the grille Edited June 7, 2012 by BOSWELL891
rmvw guy Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 That is beautiful! If my eyes are not fooling me it looks like the body is sectioned. I made one attempt at that on a "49 and ruined mine. I like all the custom tricks, it has that '50's vibe!
Dr. Cranky Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 It's a beauty, and you've made it look different than most. Love it. Thank you for sharing it.
JMD904 Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 What a wicked traditional custom! Whats those hubcaps off of?
Draggon Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 Just gorgeous, what a great custom! You really captured the "feel" of Dunns custom. I love it!
espo Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 Outstanding in every way. Paint and body work is top notch.
Joker Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 Gorgeous ! Love the rounded hood and trunk lids... the opened up wheel arches and section give it a sporty look..well done. The sunken rear plate is a nice touch. The flipper wheel covers can be found in the 40 Ford panel. James aka Joker
Dirty Gringo Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 I am stunned this thing is bad ace thanks for sharing. I once to tried to section something and yeah that didnt work out to great
Dirty Gringo Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 Hmm custom 58 lights might have to take that idea for my 56 hmm thanks again for the inspiration
jaymcminn Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 Very clean-looking. I love that clean unbroken fender line that sweeps all the way from front to rear- very elegant.
Harold Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 Absolutely stunning. That is some really well thought out bodywork- it avoids all the cliches of a typical custom- it has more of a coachbuilt feel to it.
Vilperi Posted June 8, 2012 Author Posted June 8, 2012 Thanks for all your nice comments, feels great to passing on some inspiration. My time at the workbench is quite limited, so i have lot of time thinking out the next step and how its should be done.The section job was done in about two hours when I finally started. The onebar flipper caps is pirated from an AMT 40 Ford delivery, dont know if all realeses has them. Could use another set for an upcoming project. /Stefan
