Projects 1949 chevy styleline project progress

havnt done much lately, just finishing up the odds and ends of the metal work. its running good though i drove it to the end of the road to pick up the mail again

 

bought the primer and plan to seal it over spring break

 

nice job bro..... im glad that your dad is into that stuff with you and is helping you.... not all of us are that lucky lol.... wish you the best of luck with this car... cant wait to see it finish im sure its going to be sick

 

thanks!

 

Very cool I love the 4 doors as my car for junior year and the start of senior year was a 30 Ford fordor. You can cram a ton of people in and they make for really fun evenings cruising about.

 

Man that is one cool ride. You are going to get many smiles per gallon. It is a lot of work but well worth it when finished and your driving down the road.

 

thanks! and i too have a soft spot for 4 door my dad had a 4 door 39 ford and thats the car that got me hooked.

 

my dad and i sprayed primer today. i did a little over half. it was my fist time painting a car, pretty fun!

 

Love the car I also own a 49 chev 4 door which I am putting a 350 + 350 auto in .

 

This picture is soo cool bro! Nice work on a cool car. Keep it up!
Paul

 

Thanks and I'd like to put a 350/350 in eventually.

 

Hey 49! Great job, it's lookin awesome. I'm building a 50 Fleetline 4-door, across the river from you in Vancouver. Love to come by sometime, say hello and trade some ideas. Are you and Dad going to the PIR/Expo swap meet next week? Mark

 

thanks mark, is your avatar your fleetline? id love to see a build thread of your fleetline. i might be going to the swap meet and its possible but i live bout hour and a half away from vancouver.

 

whats up!!! nice ride bro!!! Thought i was youngest pup on the hamb(22) untill today Its nice to see someone else whos is younger working on these old school rides.. Check out patriot side pipes on ebay $105 a pair they really look cool on these cars. For ideas search the hamb threads they got alot of good stuff on our year cars (pictures too) Keep us posted on the build maybe ill start a thread of my own for my 52 2dr. Check mine out let me know what ya think(need some ideas myself), mines also got the 4 inch blocks in back an 350/350 swap BTW im going metallic green with a white roof ( unless it looks too tall) with painted steelies/ Bullet caps with some wide whites. Oh ya Keep learning dads painting skills too that shit is soo fun once you get good at it

 

love your car and great job~

 

thanks! checked out your 52 looks great! I wanna run a visor and skirts on mine. i think metallic green and white top would look good! are you planning on shaving the trim?

 

thanks 54

 

Alothough they look killer all shaved up Ill prolly just leave the trim on the front fenders and doors but shave the trim on the quarters.... like this one

MAN I WISH MY CHUB WAS CHOPPED
(NEED SOMEONE NEAR SOUTHERN IL TO HELP ME ON A CHOP)

 

Yep, that's my Fleetline. I dont have a bunch of pics but I'll look at what I have and send you a few. Hope you and your Dad can make the swap meet it's a ton of fun and the start of the roddin' season for me!!! As said before, enjoy the time with your Dad, my is gone now as well. Stay in touch, Mark

 

The patina on that this is spot on. Looks good.

 

Yeah I'm debating wether or not to shave mine.

 

Way cool build! As far as shaving the trim? ...Matter of taste. I still need to finish my beltline , rear window and windshield..but other than that all I kept was the spear.

 

Yea 54's car is perfect

 

My son is in LV this weekend with the Roadmen car club from Seattle and sent me these two pics. The 51 Fleetline is giving me a ton of inspiration!! Sooo cool. Enjoy all

 

that fleatline is pretty cool!

 

what a cool car 54! love it.

 

your car looks great heres afew more to grive you ideals

 

thanks teddy

 

so i found a couple pictures of this coupe and i reeaaally like it. i want to do the color of my car similar to this one and possibly french the headlights like this too.

no real updates on my just getting the body work done so we can move on the the next stage of primer.

couldnt get the pics to work so heres a link http://www.flickr.com/photos/farmerjohn/5054424502/

 

That's Kyle Phillip's coupe. One thing that really sets it apart is the inverted rear window.
