After what seems like forever im finally back to working on the old girl! After my pop passed away i kinda lost sight of things that needed to be...
Ya fastbacks are difficult (as I have come to find) but anythings is possible! :) it's only metal right? Haha
How difficult was that to suicide? Haven't got that far yet but plan on doing the rear doors.
UPDATE! So I been tinkering with the old girl and have "shaved" off the rain gutters. The rear end (roofline) should start to be tacked in...
That 49 looks good. Subtle hair cut. Mines a little more extreme. :) I suppose I like hard work?? Hahaha :p
Welcome from Idaho! Can't wait to see this progress. Love them coupes!
Beautiful car even in low light condition! One thing my pop always told me was "never mess with someones car, and never touch his money!" I'd beat...
I've always like these in OD green with some faded or "rubbed" off cream white stars on the doors. Or do like pepsi blue metal flake.
Welcome from Idaho! Can't wait to see some pics.
Haha it happens!

Lol it's all good. First time I've chopped a fastback. Second chop in all. First 4 door tho, hence my question. ;)
I've got a few in my album I believe? Go have a looksy. :)
Mines already chopped. 6 inches up front and 4 at the rear. But being a 4 door I'm hung at the rear portion where the roof meets the door. That...

hey KD, still waiting on those tails. ;) lol! @baremetal, your car was actually my inspiration for the 54' tails. came accross it a while back....
have you chopped your top? If so, i'd love to see the rear portion where the roof "meets" the door. im kinda on a hang-up on mine in that area....
Twin turbos?! Gees-us! Lol that'll be awesome!
Ha, I bet. I haven't got that far yet but hopefully this or next weekend I should have that rear. Got a 292 that I'm mating up with a Th350 trans.
Good ideas there. Was gonna use a front end setup from a 71 nova. I scrapped that idea for now.
How's that workin for ya 90?
So the question I have is will a 1987 S/15 S-10 4x4 work for a rear end option on my 50 fleetline? I can get one for a great price if so. Thanks guys!
