Hard to tell if it's a 53 or 54 Chev when they're THAT customized!!
Nice artwork Jimmy .

Scotty.

Grille opening is a give away I would have thought.

I thought it was the same body with different chrome work, DR?
I could be (& am usually) wrong..have to ask Bootlegger...he used to own one.

Scotty.

I wouldn't have a damn clue-they just look cool chopped
I'm pretty sure it was a 53...or was that a 54....the photo i used for reference had little chrome bits below the moustache moulds next to the grille(between bumper and chrome)

Mates 53...



and a random 54

yup it was a 53

Like the '53 Jimmy !

Always knew that putting you in front of the telly with "Here's Humphrey" and a set of coloured pencils while mum and I did other things was going to pay off !!!

Cheers

Jimmy's old man

A RANDOM 54 , That is Chip Foose's random , the mods on that are as long as your arm , Your slipping Devilrod.

Not slipping just not that interested.... luv the stuff chip builds, just mostly not my style.

OH OK

Check out the size of the wheels Kiid youd be proud , stretched wheel arches all around and raised, guard peaks , smoothed bonnet , lowered nose , no handles , tightened bumpers , and how close are those wheels to effigy now Im looking at it .
Candy red would have looked good

He probably finished it in a weekend too

It'd be great if all we had to do was draw the car and hold an angle grinder for the tv cameras wouldn't it?
Foose's stuff is a bit hit and miss for me, don't really like the wheels on that one, but i guess a set of 20 inch 5 spokes wouldn't look any better, and hubcaps and whitewalls is too conventional for his style.

Hey thats what I do , my missus is behind the scenes cutting and grinding and smiling , I sit in the custom couch and drink beer - its soooo much more fun than when I used to do it , and the mistress does all the housework

Im with you jimmy , Hit and miss , The car he built from scratch for the riddler realy dissapointed me , awesome , elegant and french looking I reckon , Not Hotrod enough ,and if you could build anything ,anything at all from scratch ....wellll.
Loved sniper its an ugly car thats still ugly but smoothed and streamlined he he ,Ugly is cool

I think the silver and white 56 he built for the kid was stunning before he painted water style flames on the quarters...
