1951 Chevrolet - Jeff WHITELEY

The car really looked like it could have just been finished by the Barris Kustom Shop in the early 1950’s.

The frenshed headlights with stock rings, the modified 1949 Cadillac grille and Oldsmobile bumper all work together in design harmony like they have always belonged there in the first place.

The longer rear quarters and low mounted Chrysler taillights add class to the rear, and the Olds bumper is the icing on the cake. Looks at the flow of the chopped top, it looks great from every angle.

Cadillac grille, Olds bumper, peaked hood and ribbed rear view mirror.

The dash, windshield molding and window garnish are all painted to match the upholstery.

After driving it around in primer like this for some time it was time to add some color. Semigloss maroon on the main body and a dark red gloss paint on the top was added.
