    Man, I'd be scared shitless to try something like that on a finished panel. VERY nice work.

    Cody got one of the hood sides hung on the car today to check out the new look. I definitely think the bead detail gives the louvers a better, more refined look.. Good call Cody.

    Beautiful work! Are you going to have to raise the top of the fenders so the tires can roll?

    Plenty of room...






    IIRC, Cody installed a torsion arm suspension with the I-beam axle...








    May just need adjustment.. since the axle is bottomed out..

    Cody Walls took the Dave Thomas 35 Chevy to Pomona this weekend for the GNRS, the car took 2nd place in it's class and also received a paint award for the 57 Cadillac Biarritz colored finish. Well done Cody!
