Elite Veteran Posts: 1150 Location: Southern California | I bought Mel's 59 Dodge. The car is really cool and has a lot of character, love the patina. It runs and drives great. Gonna be freshing up the car a bit, I just painted the trunk and rear quarters to match the rest of the car, was previously flat grayish on the rear clip. | ||

Expert Posts: 1208 Location: SWITZERLAND | Your car looks really cool with the rear lamps turned downward. Not original, but exclusive - I like it. Once I will make a try as well. - SERGE - ;) | ||

Initially I didn't like what Mel had done to the taillights but now that I have seen it again and again, I am starting to appreciate the symmetry of the angle of the taillights, the fins and the exhaust tips. | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 1150 Location: Southern California | all I've done so far is repainted the rear quarters, trunk and driver door the match the rest of the car. I've removed the lake pipes and a pillar peep mirrors and put the mirrors back on the fenders and lowered the front end down by adjusting the torsion bars. I'll be lowering the rear a bit soon and re upholster the seats and rock it like that for now. Everything else cool the way it is. really love this car! | ||

Expert Posts: 1208 Location: SWITZERLAND | With small effort you can visually improve the aspect of your nice car: Align the side trims to be straight and remove the color spots.
