Thread: '58 2 door Biscayne

Tweet

So, here is a few more ideas I am thinking about...I saw the Graffiti car had a blacked out grille and I have always wondered how that would look since there is a lot of chrome on the front and I think I will do that and with the shield and "V" centered in the grille. Now I hate dummy lights and thought about putting Guages in a center console but instead came up with something a bit different. In this pic I was thinking if there is enough room between the dummy light and the hi beam indicator (If someone could tell me the Height and width of this area I would appreciate it ) of putting two digital gauges (where the arrows point.) in for the Voltage and Oil pressure from Dakota Digital with Aqua color.


Here is a front view I did in a little over 20 mins

I am now debating now if I want a blower as I am not sure if I like how it messes with the body lines. If not maybe a built 409 with dual 4s or 3x2?
I am also thinking I will paint the engine compartment white, including the radiator core support. Is it also possible to disassemble a cooling fan to paint?


This is the front seat with shifter cut-out. I always liked that kustom touch of a shifter cut-out.


This is the side panels. The Gold emblem is just a Biscayne emblem attached to the panel. The white part of the interior is Ivory color and the blue is what I like to call the 50s "Peggy Sue" Blue. Not sure why but that is what that color reminds me of?

This is a side view with the Blower.


And this is with out the blower.


And the name is "Penny Jo" after a dear friend me and my wife lost from high school.
Remember these drawings are crude and I am doing them as loose sketches. I am waiting on tracing paper so variations are easier to do.
I am not sure how the last photo was so crystal clear and the rest are fuzzy. Wish I had a scanner.
