Title: Steiners Upcoming Ride
Post by: steiner on December 07, 2005, 04:20:04 PM

Well I don't have a picture.Because it's not done. Just like many of you. But I am hoping to paint it within the next few weeks. Maybe christmas. That would be a good present. It will be Camel brown with a tan rag. I have the interior out of my blue one. So the inside will be cream and Navy blue. I have grey JGE raders and I am going to narrow the beam 5-6 inches. I made a vert decklid for it and it will have split bumpers with dark blue trim to match the interior. The motor out of my vert that I built.1600 with straight cuts 120 cam,steel pushrods,hd valve springs,hd oil pump,german lightweight lifters, ported stock heads,dual 44 webers

As far as bodywork I have done to this car. It goes on and on. I welded in floorpans, heater channels,quarters, rear fenderwells, front fenderwells, front kickpanel, front clip, dash from another stock car, louvers from a seventies vert decklid, previously welded ragtop clip that I didn't do but had to fix, redrilled all the holes for the side molding, ripped off the sheet metal covering the pee shooter holes

CAUTION it may look good from a far but is far from good
This is what it used to look like!

Camel Brown?
Split bumpers?  

Hmmm, Rich 50's car is having a huge influence on alot of cars isn't it? :)  Good too see you have a plan at least.  I think that's where most projects fall apart.  No pre-planning.
