You cannot duplicate the timeless lines of an old Stovebolt... | | | | | Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 275 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 275 | I would like to see it in person. I think they should have used the 64-66 front end it would have looked better with the cab. Neat idea, hopefully they sell some kits. Now a days they have glue that whatever your glueing together holds real good the glue won't let go the parts will break first.

Ford did it with the T-bird & Mustang Chevy is doing it and so is Mopar I think it's great. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 18 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 18 | like to see it in a different colour, they did similar with 53 vette bits, and grafted the bits onto a new one, that looked great, a bit more thought and could look good, cant beat the real thing though, | | | | | Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 200 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 200 | | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 23 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 23 | As my two year-old daughter would say..

That is a good reference! 2 headlights on one side and 1 on the other but when you pull out the switch all 3 came on!! Or just the 1 tailfin! I believe it was something like 49 thru 60 something, the song sort of tails off before you hear the last year that he said.

Or guys with no talent, but plenty of cash, who knows...... Still a wantabe ride either way. Same as the 49-50 shoebox glue-on to the Bird/Couger.

But when you mix new styling with old styling for aesthetic purposes, you end up with something that looks like it doesn't know what it wants to be. Kind of like a guy with a bad toupee. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 482 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 482 | Ha!!! Identity crisis.

Thanks for making me laugh. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 466 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 466 | I'll have to think about this one. Not sure what to say, good idea but I'm not a '60 fan. I do think '64 - '66 might work OK ? ? I would not mind going down the road looking like this with the comfort of my '97.

plus if you were a good bodyman or have a god idea it would be better to just mount a earlyer chevy front on and match the body lines which by the picture in my head looks a lot better
