Bought these from Ron.. so I feel the birds need some thougts and planning before I start doin some cool.   Have a lot of stuff to use in partbins and picked a few earlier. Just dont know for sure what Ron would have done if he decided to keep them..?  They are not good candidates for originals, and as U see I have built a semi kustom before. What do U think? |

What ever you decide you have to use that rear bumper assembly with the vertical fins inside the round taillight, everything else will fall into place, with maybe a Alexander Brothers paint job, gold with black top, good luck.

Actually I where searching the picture below before making this tread, but could not find it.. and yes those fins are tempting!  |

Chrome, body color, or some kind of red, for those tail light fins brilliant. Gold looks so cool and maybe a green tint for the windshield period look. Now on to the wheel and tire selection?

Very nice, Absolutely Custom. Since you got that nice Hard Top custom there, I really like those bucket seat tonnaue covers.
So convertible custom would be great.
No matter what, Ron would love it, and be happy you used stuff you got from him.
Unfortunately, I have some stuff sitting here I was gonna mail to Ron and didn't get to.
Jim

Tnx. Jim. Not sure about the bucket seats. My mind is working on how to use the interiors. The HT has frontseats that are fine and the Convert have a fine rearseat and pretty good consol. I might swap interiors and use almost stock in the HT and make a kustom in the convert as it shows more?! Here is what I have made today: url=https://postimg.cc/qNxPT82v]  [/url]  |

Ah geez, I never thought about horizontal fins, I just assumed vertical, killer look.

This will seemly take a while.. just came home from a shoulder re-operation due to septic artrit. Got a plastic spacer prepared with antibiotics. Going with morfine, painkillers and antibiotictablets means not even running at idle. Will get a new joint ..again, in about 4months time, IF? I'm free of streptococci.
I will try to get some useful bench time meanwhile.. now I'm just to tired.
Surfin the net preobably give me even more ideas of future builds or have me dig up some closet-sleepers. Good or bad?!
The other day I realised many of my older buildphotos have dissapered (as photobucket killed it) from here and TRAk..
So I started manage to get a map to upload some by my new host, Postimage, but thas also feelt to much..
