1953 Burnside Special

for sure the EVO was epic for a good rip

 

Nice job can't wait til the release cause I would love driving this thing around and going off ramps. Nice detailed body by the way. it also has those great curves and tail wing rear lights so awesome job.

 

Goddamnit this car looks good.
The only thing bothering me is the flat circle at the top of the grille. It'd be better if all the grille was made of circles like these instead of bars and the circle.
Just a proposition, tho.

 

Looks awesome, can't wait to smack it with the Bluebuck. btw It reminds me of the Pontiac Chieftain

 

One thing I've noticed about some of Gabes vehicles is that the edges are way too round. Not particularly on the Burnside because the things are supposed to be big and round. Say, the T75 is overly-round. American trucks generally have sharp edges around the seams and hood/bonnet curvature. I especially notice that on the way the hood/bonnet curves up into the windshield area(not exactly sure what to call it, so here's a pic):.......not sure if it showed up as an attachment or it's inserted here. I'm no automotive professional, so don't call me out on it and by the way, you don't have to listen to me, it's really not that big of a deal, but it adds a fair bit of realism in my opinion.

keep up the good work Gabester, this one is looking really good Some more progress ​pics would be nice, but do what you have to do

 

Hmm, as far as I can see the T75 actually has smaller less rounded curves along the length of the hood and the fenders in comparison to the 359 you used as an example and the curvature from the bottom of the window to the edge of the hood is petty much identical.

 

Maybe it's the proportions of the hood size compared to the cab Don't wanna get too off topic here

Yah, it's the proportions. It'll probably look more balanced once more cab variants and details are added

 

1964 and older antique derby anyone? Just because I can

 

Painfull to watch :0

 

Agreed very painful, viewer discretion is defiantly advised.

 

Yeah , Hudson Hornet , yeah , I love it , seeex

 

That should be forbidden by law

 

...
This is a disgrace. What the hell were those people thinking?

 

good, get those old crappy slow gas guzzling cars into the ground ASAP. I don't feel bad in the least for those old clunkers. Unless it is in 80% or better shape, these cars really mean nothing to me.

Also, how did this thread derail into the T75? There is a thread for that truck specifically...just wondering. Otherwise, this car is looking fabulous and really has a lot of detail, I really just want to wrap it around a pole or something.

 

Most of these cars probably had the floors welded back into them because of how bad they were rotted. The blue x7 car was a 58 mercury Montclair. My neighbor's car and I know that thing was rotten. Unless you wanna shell out 10k in body and interior work, don't complain.

My personal thought is that it's a lot of fun and just a hobby. No different than gutting out a nice muscle or ricer to beat the shit out of it at the track except that nobody wants these cars for normal use lol

 

Let's get back on topic here, maybe this will help:

(imported from here)

 

This could be a pretty badass car with the right gearing and engine swap. Would be cool to soup one up for shits and giggles.

 

It's already slightly modified, the lowered suspension (channelled body maybe?) and the roof chop are pretty cool

 

Ah I thought it looked pretty damn sexy for being stock lol. Would be a cool option for drive if there was a possible way to expertly modify the body without having to get too involved in the programming

 

Looks really good, i love the styling of 50's cars.
