Ok , I finally got the '56 V8 Emblems finished and mounted back on the car. I can't do much with my arm in a sling so it has gone pretty slowly. This is what they look like now, finished. The car is really dusty and I don't want to scratch the paint so It will stay that way 'till it can get properly washed. Let me know what you think.

 

Love it Cliff, looks great!!

 

Next thing you know Cliff has a business reproducing his grill and beauty bar mods

 

Awesome! Looks like it came from the factory that way.

 

How is the shoulder feeling? When does physical therapy start?

 

That emblem was the idea i had in mind darn it, the "hhr" one

 

Looks very good Cliff

 

Looks awesome, Cliff! Take care of that shoulder!

 

I picked up the car from my buddy's shop last night because nothing was getting done on it....just collecting dust mostly. Well this morning I washed off the dust and took a couple of pics of it still on the trailer. I dont know if I ever showed you guys the finished steering wheel up against the instrument panel The wheel is a Cobalt SS leather model with a custom horn button I made for it. The guages are SpeedHut with a carbon fiber surround. The Black/Red SS seats and door panels brighten up an other wise basic black stock interior. (other than the B&M pro ratchet shifter and the roll cage)

The other pics show the '56 emblems off quite well. I have been delighted that nobody has even mentioned them. I guess they look original to onlookers.....the sign of a well done mod. Also check out the side view picture showing a blue 55 gal. drum. Check out the reflection. I work for an auto group that includes a Mercedes dealership. The painters did such an amazing show quality job on it......and I just paid for the materials......free labor!

 

An awesome ride! Great work Cliff!
