Photo Shoot, PT 57 Chevy Black Widow, With a REAL Girl too

[rat_rod_russell]

A buddy of mine finally decided to go Pro with his photography hobby so he asked if he could bring a model and take some photos of my car. HELL YA, I told him, as long as the models hot. We took the photos at Zedlers Mill just up the road from the shop. It's been abandon since the 60's but some one just started fixing it up so there's bits of new here and there in the background. But it was a good location for free.

Model: Morgan Bernard
Photographer: Jeremy L Van Dyke of PhotographLayne
Location: Zedler's Mills, Luling, TX

Me with the Widow, so you all can put my ugly face with the car if you see it in public.

That's my Flying Tigers jacket I got from my grandfather when he died (Luck me I was the only one big enough that it would fit). I like to wear it when I go with my friends and there ricers. For those who don't know the Flying Tigers was a special volunteer unit that went over to China to fight the Japanese before the US got involved in WW2. The back of the jacket reads "This foreign person has come to China to help in the war effort. Soldiers and civilians, one and all, should rescue, protect, and provide him medical care" But a Chinese friend also told me it translated to "I'm an American Pilot here to kill the Japanese, Please regard me kindly." depending on where in china you were from.



And you can click the photos to make them bigger, I just didn't want the page to take a year to load.

that car is refreshingly bad ass with the black and white thing going on. And the model qualifies as hot. I'm not sure she pulls off the pin up model vibe but don't think I'm complaining.

I drove by yalls shop about two weeks ago on my way up to check out a car... saw the 57 outside and it looked great!

Thanks, you should have stopped, I'll let almost anyone drive it. I'm always interested in feed back from other users in the Lateral-G world. Since Its my branch off of my fathers chassis I don't get a lot of feedback too often.

I really liked it after I got that ton of chrome off, it looks really wicked from the front. Cleans it up and un-gaudies these cars a little and makes it pretty mean looking too.
