Dale is going for a similarr look, but satin bl;ack over ther top half, basically a solid minimal rust rat rod, with mexican blankets and basic intereior, he wants to try his hand at pinstriping ....he is a bit of an artist , but I darent say which type  ;D http://www.britepic.com/gallery.php?id=470369&src=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.chooseyouritem.com%2Fclassics%2Fphotos%2F155500%2F155516.1950.Dodge.Wayfarer.2-Door.Sedan.jpg&width=424&height=338&show_ads=1&keywords=autos%2Ccars%2Cclassics%2Chot+rods%2Cstreet+rods%2CDodge%2CWayfarer+2-Door+Sedan%2CClassic+Cars+from+the+50s&caption=1950+Dodge+Wayfarer+2-Door+Sedan+-+Ad+155516 (http://www.britepic.com/gallery.php?id=470369&src=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.chooseyouritem.com%2Fclassics%2Fphotos%2F155500%2F155516.1950.Dodge.Wayfarer.2-Door.Sedan.jpg&width=424&height=338&show_ads=1&keywords=autos%2Ccars%2Cclassics%2Chot+rods%2Cstreet+rods%2CDodge%2CWayfarer+2-Door+Sedan%2CClassic+Cars+from+the+50s&caption=1950+Dodge+Wayfarer+2-Door+Sedan+-+Ad+155516)

what is stainless for ?  :)

It is to make custom side trim for the car, the original trim is full of rivet holes and is in bad shape.x

i dare say which type hahahahahahahahahahaha ;D ;D ;D

you can get a chromed trim that plastic and its self stick flat on one side and half moon on the other it comes on a roll and you can get it from most good car shops  ;D ;D

I dont think so   , but thanks for the suggestion, please feel free not to make any more  ;D

try fleabay for small stainless tube  :)

welcome to the forum Dale :) cracking car ;D

Yeah, hello Dale.  ;)
Thought you'd Photo-shopped it for a minute. Cool car. Think I'd led-sled it -slam it to the deck, roof chop it & fit fender skirts to the rear arches, then candy flake it.  8)
Anybody fancy having a go with Photoshop? How would you build it?
Can't view the images on MySpace without joining as a member.  :(

Sled it, slam it, chop it & flake it!!!!!

What the hell are you talking about???? Wouldn't like to be around when you're making sandwiches in the kitchen! HA HA HA

Okayyyyy.... ;D lower it yes,this will be done over winter ...WHAT AM I SAYING IT IS FECKIN WINTER!!???!!!... :(

.... no airbags tho ,they is for modern cars....no roof chop, im 6'3''....fender skirts are on order, it will stay satin black, and will get some flames  AND , striping when I got time.

I have done some interior work, and will be customing the dash .

I will put some pics on a photobucket , again , when I got time, I have kept a quite detailed photo record, and will continue, especially when I starts the metalwork  ;D
