Photo Gallery of my custom 1953 Chevy Belair Hot Rod “Stardust”, from when I first bought her in 1990, but until I finished the main body work and fins 2005-2007.
Here’s a video I did of Stardust when YouTube was a “new” and 480 dpi was hot stuff! 2010…actual “video” taken with a Canon DAT camcorder. My how times have changed.
