Yep, started this a few months back, kinda taken a life of it's own, almost done with the body, engine is striped, waiting now for some adhesive spray, for the tuck and roll interior, added a '64-'65 Rivie front clip, and the rear panel from, I think a '68 Kaddy kustom kit, not sure, but it worked, and designed a whole new kustom opening door system, WARNING, there are prolly to many pic's, but I think ya guys will enjoy them, so please sit back and enjoy, all this work, just to be auctioned off, LMBBO.

Interesting build so far. Curious to see how it will look.

Are you interested in trading off the 64 Caddy front bumper and grille? If so, PM me.

The new kustom door opening system, I like to call, GUILLOTINE DOORS, and yes they will stay in any locked position, from open to full open and close to full close, in other words, NO! they do not sag, any any point.

Not actually an update, but a step forwards, started the interior, soooooooo not posting pic's of that, as it is so not pretty, will be soon tho, anyway, played with the suspension some, allot of changes to be made, oh an made a flat airbag system, never could under stand why, when ppl do slammed car'z/truck'z, they always use bag set up'z, that look like the bag has air in it???????, if yer slamming, then shouldnt the air bag'z look sorta. I dunno, like there isn't air in'em????, I'm no rocket expert, but plump air bag'z tell me, ummmmmm up. anyway, my bag look'z like a bomb with a purple fuze, but fit the frame to the lower A arm perfect, ok not perfect so to speak, have to tweek the A arm'z a lil, might be to low, might have to go with a triple bag, "would ya like a bag sir?" "no thank'z got one at home"

Very nice .What are you useing for the bags are they rubber washers?

Exactly what they are, got like 500 of'em, for like 6.00, I do alot of slammed stuff, and thought I would go with the thinner ones, to give that slammed look.

OK, well I'm not one to leave well enough alone, so I'm setting up to add to the lower A arms, for the air bags:
