1950 fleetline-build thread

Watching this one, it has huge potential.

 

Love them 4 doors! I'll be watching this one for sure. Here's some pics of mine. Chopped 5", 53 chevy grille surround, 55 desoto grille, 54 chevy tail lights and a 50 pontiac bumper. Good luck with it, i can't wait to see it finished. You dont see many four doors.

 

Very sharp ride baremetal, I dig the 54 taillights. Hey Billy, I think you should dump the caddy tailights and go with 54 chevy taillights, I got an extra set ya know.....

 

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. even before u posted here. its a thing of beauty!

 

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 tomorrow if not tonight. Depends how everything goes with house work! Hahaha also I have a 292 straight 6 goin in her as soon as I get the main body work done. Can't wait! Pics to come soon!

How difficult was that to suicide? Haven't got that far yet but plan on doing the rear doors.
