My Dec 54 Project

[386kustoms]

so my phone broke before i could upload any pics so im missing a bunch, all panels are done and ready for paint. just got the chassis back from the blaster and going to epoxy prime it and paint this week, wheels are back as well. here are a few more pics i still can not believe how solid the pan is, only a little patch under battery was needed

That looks nice. As I sit there and look at it I ask myself, "Would I dip mine in a zinc bath if I were to go all that trouble." Anyone had their electroplated?

some more progress today, i epoxy primed the floor black yesterday, then today painted the floor black also painted the inside of rims to make sure the color match was good and it looks dead on to the orig color of iceland green

wheels done

some update. since the corona quarantine im going to really bust butt on this. chassis is together and rolling, need to finish up brakes, still trying to figure out if i want to use my 4 inch beam/ disc brakes on it or not, i was kinda saving it for my split. anyway body is back from blaster and is just as solid as i thought, got all the rusty areas welded up and roughed out, then epoxy primed body, gona let it sit for a couple days and bust out the little bit of body work it needs. hopefully have it done in primer ready for final sand this weekend and start painting next week

well she is green! got her back home now and ready to buff out and start assembly. still need to get some parts chromed so it will be a slow assembly process.

That looks awesome 386kustoms. Takes me back to my 54 Iceland green build.
Here's a couple of pics of my car. When I saw your pics I had to take a double take thought it was my car. Looks like your L213 is dead on.
Keep up the good work and have fun.

well havnt done much to it, my father ended up passing in the beginning of the month and with the stupid virus going around and everything been just down, i did order some more parts that just came in and also got my 54 motor ready to go in after some parts get powdercoated, i did change wheels and tires, these came from cip1 and reall redlines on rear, front is smart car tires and im going to have to put redlines on them. i think the colors really starting to pop

[386kustoms]

its been a while since i have been on here but decided to share some pics of the car completed. only think i have left to do is change the interior around a bit, it had nice black seat covers that someone did and they work fine right now as my daughter is 5 and likes to kick and rub her feet on everything, so in a few years i will most likely put a light tan interior inside. running a judson kit rebuilt on the 1954 36hp engine. syncro trans. narrowed beam with disc brakes up front. besides that everything else is pretty much origional.

Nicely done

Beautiful car, great job on the rebuild. Makes me want to kick myself for selling my November 54. Love the Egg tail lights

Damn, glad to see this car on street now!
You did a great job and I can't say often enough how much I love L213 ovals!
Safe travels and stay healthy
