That's a great idea! I guess I will do that when I paint Willard. I am close but not quite at that point.


Note that the red is just tinted primer.

Awesome thread guys! Looking forward to seeing more. I haven't got to the body mod stage just trying to get my 54 back on the road.

Hey Truxx1956, I dig your original seat. Any info on how you modified it. Especially the Caddy armrest?

Thanks,
rustfarmer

Found this pic on the internet. I'm not sure if this is a purchased bumper or a modified rear bumper. I like the look of the license recess though.

some great ideas. My only contribution to modified (other than drivetrain) appearances will be my stick shifter.....a Moosehead beer tap, since the colors will match my green/ivory motif. Which at this rate will be 10 years from tomorrow.

PS: I think I may be the first and last to use the word "motif", sorry.

I have too many mods that I like...if I didn't like it, I wouldn't have it, right? However, my two favorite mods are my interior, and wheel wells. I wanted to be different with the interior, something that others haven't done, or at least not to the extent that I went to. As to the wheel wells, I made them from a trailer fender, and they turned out better than I expected.

I've done a ton of modifications on my truck, the latest was fabricating my own inner fenders. No need to remove the front end or outer fenders to install them or remove them. Sorry not the greatest pic.

Here's my original inner fenders... Can you say acetylene torch?
