| Description | www.carnut.ca/g for more info and pics. Winner of the "Coolest Custom", "Street Rod Award" and the "Best of a hundred" at the 2008 Good Guys Puyallip car show. Moonglow was also shown at Billet Proof, Chehalis and won "Best Custom", Winner of "Ladies Choice" and "Outstanding Custom" at the Abbotsford World of Wheels and numerous other awards. This outstanding custom is now offered for sale. This car has been driven and trailered to shows (depending on distance) and it's road manners are impeccable...this is a trailer queen that loves to be driven. Dubbed “the Moonglow” Graeme Tait has spent 12 years and 6,000 hours to create an incredible 53 Chev that has been modified with every trick in the book. This is a fitting tribute to the original “Moonglow”, one of most famous show cars of the fifties. The new “Moonglow” is so seamless that you would swear it was turned out by GM themselves…maybe GM from another planet!! Extensively modifying a car takes the skills of a welder, fabricator and the direction of an artist to get the “Look” just right. Although the roof was chopped 3.5 inches, the seamless craftsmanship and correct proportions make it look just right. That just right look cost a bit of money as well because the chopped compound curved rear window does not come off a parts shelve anywhere on this planet. Starting with an impeccable accident free Southern California body with no rust ever, a full body off restoration was completed with every bit of the car modified. The skills of a professional coach builder from England used an English wheel and power hammer to create this masterpiece out of steel. The hood was nosed and decked and finished off underneath to show quality. The upper grill bar was frenched into the body and comprises of 15 teeth. Door handles shaved, Gas gate eliminated and 1953 Ford headlights frenched and peaked to match the fender line. The taillights are 1956 Chrysler inverted and placed into custom one piece handcrafted housings. |
