This 55 Chevy was owned by the customer for a very long time. 25 years ago he had the car painted and shortly after it was painted, all of the paint checked and cracked. After a full analysis, the paint manufacturer could not determine why it cracked and would not warranty a repaint, so the owner lived with the bad paint for 25 years before he brought it to me. |

|
I had him take the car to be soda blasted prior to its arrival at my shop. The body had a lot of work done to it over the years, but it was all GM steel. |
| |
|
|
|
Sadly, about a month after bringing the car to my shop the owner passed away after a long battle with cancer. Before he passed away, I painted a 1/18 scale 55 Chevy pedal car in the color the finished car will be. He was very happy to see the pedal car and made sure his wife and son could finish the real 55 by putting aside all of the funds necessary for completion. |

|
It is a very solid car and only needed the LH 1/4 panel replaced. It also needed a ton of TLC on the remaining 56 year old body. |
| |
|
|
|
Finished colors will be in the traditional "Bel Air" 2-tone with GM "Merlot Jewel" for the main body and GM "Black Pearl" for the rear portion. |

The Mustang is for another local customer who was looking for an old Mustang. He found the car in Indiana in the condition you see it. |
| |
|
|
|
The car has led a hard life with the worst being the accident damage to the RH rocker and quarter as you can see. |
| |
|
|
|
The Mustang will be receiving a full restoration with a lot of customization and modern upgrades. It will be interesting to see how this Mustang evolves throughout the build process. |
