    I love this car! The grill is so nicely done, the taillight design I've always liked, and the stance when dropped looks so good. Just a beautiful, understated car.

    I love it too. When I saw that paint job, I thought of the Hirohata Mercury. I'd like to see a Ford Corsair or Mk1 Escort done as a mild custom, especially with that paint scheme & those hubcaps.

      Great. The car was stripped to bare metal, epoxied and painted in two-pack. All trim holes were welded shut and metal finished. All chrome was redone to the highest qulaity. I sold it years ago, is kept in a climate controleld garage.

    Why can't they build cars that look this good today? We need to go back. Just look at the Holden Efijy. It's a shame that car never went into production. There has been "retro inspired" cars over the years, but they all look like shit compared to the cars they're based off.

      Wow, nine years, sorry, I never checked this video on You Tube. They're 15" steel Falcon (Australian) with 1953 Oldsmobile caps and custom spun and chromed centre bullets. The bullets thread on and secure the caps to the rims.

      @alistairdavidson4652 Год назад +1

      It's a Lechler two-pack epoxy that dries to a kind of satin sheen - not flat, not shiny. Had it tinted similar to the Hirohata Merc green. Roof is a Subaru metallic green with Roth Bongwater (I think, it was a while ago) Flake, four coots of clear on the roof only.

      The video is about my car, I didn't make this video or post it, so I never really thought to check the comments. I made this grille using chrome shower curtain rails, hand bent over a customwood jig. The chrome didn't last, so I made another using stainless tube, which I polished.

      It's bagged so fully aired up its ride height is higher than factory. Put skirts on, didn't like it. A Coyote would be so wrong for the style of this car.

An American film wanted to interview me for a documentary a few years back. I was at a major event with a mate who knows me and our magazines' history well. So he did the interview for me, making out he was me, whilst I hid in the corner. It was hilarious.

    I'm in Minnesota USA and bought a 62 last fall. couple questions...do your front airbags have a shock as well? i'm thinking of doing the air-ride thing but worried about wheel hop at higher speed. also where did you get those hubcaps and what are they called....they look sweet. remind me of a Roulette wheel. The suede and flake look great together. i was looking at paint ideas and google searched 62 bird pics and yours is by far my favorite.
