51 Chevy Bel-Air

Finally done with this one, started with a Bel-Air convertible, added a roof from who knows what, channeled the chassis, hinged the bonnet sideways and gave it
the low rider style paint job. Lengthened the rear guards, fill the wheel arches and made a sunvisor for it aswell. Wheels are off Elvira T-Bird, also added an old school tri carb V8.












Thanks for looking.

Nicely done Dale, just awesome

Ford in a Chev.
That'll upset a few people.

Well done.

Looks very good. Nice build.

Holy shiny, looks great.

That's turned out one very cool custom

Beautiful work on this - A lot of great custom work and top class painting.

Great custom work, and the paint is fantastic, Bill Hines & George Barris would be proud

That looks killer DeeCee, I love it!! Well done, looks like it's going 100mph standing still.

Very cool Dale

N.I.C.E!! This is the bomb mate, another No.1

You Tassie boys have got the mirror finishes down to an art.

Bugger em'. i don't mind stepping outside the traditional boundaries with models, it makes it interesting.

Thanks for the compliments too guys, much appreciated.

I was skeptical at viewing the under construction thread, but love how it's turned out.

What could piss the Chevy guys off more than repowering one of theirs with a ford?

Doing it with a flathead!

dont know what the fuss is about the ford donk, if u were building this thing in the early fifties u didnt have to many choices for a V8 as chev didnt fit them till 55 i rekon the ford would be a logical choice

So smooth nice job

Mate this thing is awesome, the stance, THE PAINT, the body mods and even a good ol' flathead.
Excellent build, master class. Well done.

When I was a cameraman for rodders life I seen hundreds of these sorts of customs. So much so they all began to look the same after a while, no disrespect intended, But I think your version is super cool Dale . Outstanding build

Thanks guys, Mick, ya gotta be different, some times it works , sometimes it gets used for spare.
