History Your Favorite 49-52 Chevrolet

Can you ask your friend where he got the licence plate on his Chevy?
It looks like an early Belgian number plate. And I know that back in the days they made Chevrolets here in Antwerp, Belgium. Just curious...

Thanks

Chris

 

I like that car better in suede.JMHO.

 

That IS a perfect chop. Nice!

 

What are those tail lights from. That is exactly what I have been looking for for my fleetline.

 

They are from a 50 dodge, here is how I did mine.



I used Fusor to french the bezels to the fender, 107,000 miles so far and no seams are showing.

Hello Chris. You may be right. He bought the plate years ago at a flee market. No idea where it came from, but He liked the way it looked. It was very well made( it is actually a 2 part plate). I'll try to get a better picture of it next time I see John.

that,s leroy,s from the lost kustoms i got pictures of it when it was pink before it got hit that,s when leroy put the caddy ass end on it great car and great guy

 

Very Nice!!

 

I have to say that Bob Arena's 50 Business coupe hot rod does it for me.

Look at that dial-in - 13.85 with a 261 Stovebolt 6!!!!

Anyone near LA got a builder for sale???

 

Hey that car looks familiar!

 

Do trucks count? I am building another one of these now. Put this one together 15 years ago. One handsome truck.

 

are those pontiac teeth on the grill?I like the way you did that

 

I'd say 54 Chev teef

 

thanks

 

I've got quite a few favorites!!!!!

Ian Berky's...


Of course....John Denich's...


Murph's....


Bud's brother's ....




Brad Masterson's....


always liked this one too...


This one is now owned by LimeyChris,in Orange...

 

Great pics!!This is the best thread ever!!

 

my 1950

 

I know that this is NOT a Chevy. In my opinion, this 4 door Oldsmobile is absolutely gorgeous & is a source of inspiration for my 52 Chevy 4 door.
.
I know very little about this car & would appreciate any additional info that can be provided. What I do know is that it was built by Gene Winfield & was owned by Jerry Scares.

Guess I'll throw my '49 in the mix. In progress with the Olds grille opening...

 

I love this thread! Very motivational. It's exactly what I needed to get the fire re-lit under my arse to get mine back on the road.

 

Anyone know of any shops in the Baltimore area that produces the kind of work in this thread? I like to do as much as I can my self but being new to the metal fab and body work type stuff, there is no way i would attempt most of the stuff I see on here. Absolutely gorgeous works of art on here.

 

Is this the one on youtube getting its top chopped? Often there's a hint of pics of it in ck deluxe or OSR? guy with bald head and sunglasses on in the front of it. I dig it.

 

car is owned by a guy named Carl in
VA Think it was all done in lead

 

I like the color and everything else about it.

 

what about mine????

 

[dont mind the gap at the hood ,they did not close the hood properly, it was open to show the hopped up 235 . cherio TQUOTE=trusty-t;5445848]what about mine????[/QUOTE]

 

Tristan,
What is your front bumper from?

 

I adapted '53 Desoto bumpers ( they cost me an arm and a leg!!!) bought them for $ 700 ,shipping $750,tax etc.$450 as they arrived they were bent and twisted!! but I had to cut them up anyway and shave them ,in the rear I intergated the exhaust ,$400 straihgtning, $2500 rechroming them ( I could have bought another car for that money ,but hey nobody says Kustoms are cheap!!).
I like them alot, they are more beafier then the stock ones.
