    Default Street Rod Conversion

    I took my 57 Chevy into the Xara chop shop and gave it a makeover. Here are a few renditions of the car after its makeover.

    Great job Paul! That was when cars still had their own unique identity.

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.

    Thank you Frances. I always appreciate your comments and I enjoy your work.

    Thank you Wizard509. Yes, I agree, they had their own style in those days. I have been enjoying bringing them through my Xara custom shop. My brother restores antique cars. It is much more time-consuming and costly. I think I took the cheaper way out, but I'm still enjoying it. He has given me some suggestions for modifications on the car. As for me, I am having a blast. Thank you again for your comments.

    I would say your chop shop is the place to go, Paul. That's a great looking flame job.

    Thank you gray. I'm having a blast revamping this 57 Chevy. The flames were very challenging. Thank you for noticing them, it makes all the hard work worthwhile.
