you've officially turned me on to late forties GM's and now want to do a similar project on a torpedo.
killer man.

 

Way cool car. Like everything you did. Love to see it go down the road.....

 

great job !!!

 

You really did a fine job on this, looking forward to the interior work. Beautiful Chevy!

 

Outstanding car. I met Aaron and his wife at Billetproof, wonderful young couple...Aaron is really focused on this car and its off now to the upholstery shop.

 

Wow, what a nice car! Congratulations.

 

Awesome thread

 

Awesome thread and awesome photos.

 

I'm sure the interior will be just like the exterior........
Like a peephole into the past!
Awesome!

 

Good job, love the car.

 

I can't wait!

Well done my friend. I can't thank you enough.

 

Beautiful car -- very well done. Love that it's a daily driver too.

 

Alright my friends... the upholstery is done. Paco's Custom Upholstery in Roseville CA did an EXCELLENT job.

that is WICKED !!!

 

If you nailed it any harder it would be pregnant. Unbelievably nice transformation.

 

I followed your build from the beginning and you've come a long way. You hit it square on the head. Congrads!

 

WOW! Great job.

 

It is perfect.

I can't help but be choked up, so forgive me. I am feeling a little nostalgic and sentimental.

I can't express in words how happy I am about this car. I am so thankful you wanted it and were willing to save it from certain death.

I NEVER thought I would ever see it done. It is exactly as I dreamed it would be from the moment I first got the car on the road. I used to stare at it dreaming of what I wanted. Calori Coupe in fashion. Hotrod at heart. Dreamed of the chop for a few years. Never did get the rear suspension figured out, and I hated that damn column!

I did get the hotrod part right! It was fast....and sounded mean. I wish that trans would have lived longer for you and I wish I hadn't put that locker in there. That was the biggest mistake. Should have done a clutch style posi instead and kept it smooth.

LORD knows I didn't have the means nor time. It being my only car, it truly was never going to get done.

Anyway, I'm rambling....its your car.

It is obvious you were made for each other.

 

WOW you guys on the right coast sure know how to get it done! That car is beautiful and I really dig the interior! good job Aaron!

Classy!!! Great looking car.

 

Hey Aaron, you got the most bitchin car in the valley. The interior is incredible.


Wishing I was on the salt watching some fast cars go by me!!!!!!!

 

A superb custom.

for those of you who haven't followed along.... the big long, detailed build thread is here:

1946 Chevy: In Early California Custom Styling

 

great job on the car ........looks really nice

 

Wow, somehow I missed the earlier part of the thread until last night and between last night and this morning I read the whole thread.

Between the two of you you have taken a beater with a bunch of wrong stuff on it and turned it into what will be viewed as one of the classic late 40's Chevy coupe customs of all time.

Scabs removed, chop just right to get the roof line right and then a perfect stance and incredible black paint and finished off with an absolutely timeless interior all the way around. Perfect.

 

Nice car! Love an early custom!

 

Wow! What great taste & execution, beautiful transformation.

 

Wow, amazing car, spot on!!!
