Thread: Hot Rod Chevy Pro Street! Pics

As I watched your video and you panned the passenger side door something jumped out at me that is likely more trouble than it's worth, but I think it would look really cool if the back top corner of the door were rounded on the same radius as the window opening. The bigger job would be rounding the body jamb area to match as opposed to having a "tab" filling the gap. Like I said, it's probably not worth the effort - the square corner just kind of jumped out at me surrounded by flowing curves.

Lol that's funny you mentioned that I was considering it awhile back after I finished smoothing up the jams though alot of custom guys do that to there rides does look sweet.

Yeah, I think the Barris Brothers used the rounded corners a lot. It looks really good as it is - just an idea....

A few updates!
Trunk in primer also the trunk jam area smoothed and blocked the jams and mount areas.
Note the trunk lip i removed that wraps around the trunk skin i removed and smoothed up aswell.

The deck lid looks great.
How did you remove the lip on the inside?

I see your alt. is or looks like it is mounted to the frame. Won't that effect the belt tension
when the engine is reved??

Dittos I saw that and was about ask the same. The way the MSD is mounted is a good one loads of air circulation.

More nice work, as always! The Chevy is really getting to be an old smoothie!!!! Hmmmm, engine, fuel pump installed--getting close to fire-up time???

Wow. You've come a long way on the car! Looks great! I really like the shifter console!
