Sold the chopped 50 olds fast back,went to a great guy in indy. So got to do another one. This one is a 1948 pontiac chopped streamliner, camaro sub, 455 eng, 400 trans, planning on black and white roll and pleat and wanting to do a color primer (no black}. If you guys have a suggestion on what color primer would look good let me know. Im thinking about lavender or purple. Will post pictures of progess.see you at the march meet.

CORRECTION, NOT PRIMER I GOT IT WRONG FROM THE PAINTER GOING BASE COAT WITH FLATTNER IN CLEAR.

That looks like a great project. The fast back chops look like a while lotta work.

Cody80 · 02-11-2012, 12:26 AM

look at that fancy thing! awesome

Rikster · 02-11-2012, 12:50 AM

Great custom... but it needs bumpers first.

AGY mechanic · 02-11-2012, 12:59 AM

Wasn't a fan of 48 Pontiacs, until now. That thing is beautiful !. Lavender would look great.

Original57 · 02-11-2012, 01:00 AM

Lavender/purple sounds real good to me. Unless of course you wanna go orange like Gambino's 54. That's one sweet looking ride too.

**ss34coupe** · 02-11-2012, 01:20 AM

Great looking car! The lines are fantastic!

**choppedmerc** · 02-11-2012, 01:35 AM

Not sure on the perfect Kolor, if it were gloss rootbeer might be good. I do dig the Lincoln taillights. I looked at your past cars! I really like the orange 3 window ford. I have never seen a pic of it? any pics from the rear?

You already know I like it! Purple / Lavender could be Cool.

Particularly good proportions on what has to be an extremely difficult chop. It almost looks to me like they chopped a coupe and then added a section of roof skin and trunk lid from a fastback. Not real sure how it was done but well executed for sure. I look forward to seeing it with paint and bumpers.

BAREOOT - Your orange shoebox is CRAZY! I like it.

BOP-Nut · 02-12-2012, 08:26 AM

Your Olds was beautiful. That is a sharp '48 too though. With lines like it has I would have to paint it a dark gloss color. Blue, purple, burgandy, black, green...

Post up what you decide on.

**knoxbrendon** · 02-12-2012, 08:51 AM

Looks great purple would be sweet

Midwest Rodder · 02-12-2012, 08:53 AM

Great lines on that Pontiac, very nice car!

40FORDPU · 02-12-2012, 08:54 AM

Something about burgandy, that just seems to work on these customs..nice car.
