A few years ago I got this 51 belair...The car was really clean and I got it because I was tired of getting old buckets and spending countless hours building them. I thought if I would buy a clean car from the start, it would save me a lot of time making the car the way I want. I drove the car for a season putting an triple 7 pesco set up in it and then decided to build something I really wanted and decided to do it with this car since it was really clean from the get go and not another basket case. Anyway I would buy a brand new Ferrari and I would probably tear it down like an idiot...lol Here are some pics of the car when I bought it...

The car was a complete 100 points OG restauration and it was restaured completely with new sheet metal which I wanted to avoid doing major body work and it was exactly what I was looking for. Now a lot of you guys (understandably) would have kept that car the way it is and I would not blame any of you guys but I like custom stuff so I decided to go a complete different path.

GRAPHICS ON TOP AND SUNVISOR

I wanted something that stands out with this 51 and decided to get some graphics done on the top and sunvisor. Something kinda funky and different...All HOK kandies...Here are the work in progress on the top:

More or less the finish products for the graphics on the top before getting it cleared...Very happy with the results...Great work from El Rimo on here...HOK pearls and kandies are really great products and the colors are really poppin...Exactly what I wanted to shoot for...A little bit like those Japan style lowrider paint jobs you see coming out :)
