- - 1955 Chevy "Nickelback" (https://www.lateral-g.net/forums/showthread.php?t=32266)

For those who have never seen or forgot what the rendering looked like - here is what we are trying to achieve. These renderings were done by a good friend of mine Mike Desmond five years ago when I started this project. As said - been along time coming. As you can probably tell -I'm getting a little excited about this thing finally moving in the right direction......again!!

great sketchwork there, I love tri chevys but couldn't find any using the search, could you guys point me to some link?

engine sketch looks amazing, but the console looks quite rugged and as such maybe a little at odds with the original wurlitzer jukebox dash styling

i think the hummer hx nailed the rugged jukebox look really well, apologies if it sounds like i'm being negative, the car looks awesome :thumbsup:

They are just so big and bulky looking for what I am was trying to achieve. So I gave them an idea of what I was looking for and and Brycen nailed! The end result exceeded my expectations!

No worries!! No negativity taken!! One thing the rendering doesn't show is the dash - or lack of for a better term. The original dash is long gone. We have a complete custom dash in the works and will share more once we get closer and fitted in the car. The console will not be 100% of the rendering but it will be extremely close. I think it will all blend nicely together.
