    KP, you have a 2 door sedan, not a coupe. Great looking body. Does the engine turn over ?

    Jim,
    On '49 up fastback GM cars -
    The Chev is a Fleetline
    Pontiacs are Streamliners
    Olds is a Club Sedan
    Buicks were Jetbacks
    Cad called their '49 a coupe
    Turtlebacks are Stylines

    some more update pix. i still have a lot of body work to do but as long as the metal is protected i goods. next is the engine then the interior.

    thanks for the all the complements. i am getting a ton of help for family and friends. i just want to drive this beast already. :D

    FYI this is the first time i ever painted a car and i gotta say i just found a new appreciation for all painters. it my not be prefect but i love how it came out.

  14. looks like you're doing a great job man. go traditional, rake that puppy with little and bigs and flame her out(ya, i'm partial to flames).
     
  15. 216"+6 cylinders all in a line does not equal beast. Sorry:eek:

    The old hooptie looks OK from where I sit.

    I imagine it has a sag or two in the paint, but that's what sand paper is for. Don't slack now you are well on your way to fun.
