Features lets see some 49-54 chevy Hotrods and Customs

Yes it is.

 

My '52 coupe, drove for a little while with a 216, now apart awaiting me to have the time to finish the small block swap, it'll get done some day.....

 

here's my '49. Neither here nor there right now, but working on it...

 

hopefully one day ..lol

 

Heres mine photo shopped

 

Love this one!....current screen saver....

 

Here is one of mine. BBC/TH350 S10 rear, Camaro clip(little too wide). Leather interior. There are some things I need to fix on it and somethings that I do not like about it. I was going to put new wheels on it but I need to put some narrower control arms on it, and I am unemployed. I bought new front tires to get it on the road and drivable.

 

Right on Mr Haney....you scored! I agree with losing the flames, chroming the bumpers, and maybe shave some stuff.....but I like that grill! Just need to chrome it! Congrats!

 

Nice car....I had a Camaro clip on mine too....and yeah, was toooo wide! Those narrowed control arms are going to run you around a grand.....thats what made me buy an original frame from a HAMBer on here for a $100, hacked off the camaro clip and went back to the original front end..(then intalled the mustang II) Best decision I ever made! just a thought..

 

under construction.

 

OK, here's an update on mine. I had a few setbacks, had to have surgery, then couldn't do anything for 6 weeks after, not to mention the month before surgery, so after 2 1/2 months off I'm way behind schedule. Shoulda been chopped by now. This is the first time out of the garage since the suspension mods. My pygmy goat misty always inspects my work.


She even ran my door repairs through a series of impact tests.


And after a thorough inspection she came up to me and nodded her approval. I was honored.

 

ONE OF MY FAVORITES. WOULD BE MY SECOND FAVORITE BEHIND COLE'S IF NOT FOR THOSE CRIME SCENE'S IT'S ROLLING ON!

 

RodinRon, liking that 54 looks good unchopped, is that a meat goat or just a pet ?

WestsideLefty, we call them wheels "dope boy wheels " will add crime scenes to my slang dictionary ! Ha Ha !

 

She's a pet, given to me by my daughter who grew up and moved out, leaving me with a bad gardener, when it comes to trimming my shrubs, she's no Edward Scissorhands.
I never really liked the roof line on these cars, but it must be growing on me since now I'm starting to wonder if I should chop it or not, especially now with spring approaching.

 

Mine has the 4" wide wheels now. For me the wheels is more of a style thing. To me it says street machine, i would rather have it say cool custom.

 

Mine! A true Phantom Custom HotRod!

 

aaahahahahaha...Edward Scissorhands...that's a laugh! I saw a "fainting" goat once and that is very starge!! anyway, my vote is to go with the unchopped look. I think these things look cool slammed and unchopped...just my $.02

by the way...where in PA are you?

 

In Goat We Trust

 

Goats are definately traditional! I Love that pic!!^^^

 

In my humble oppinion (wether you want it or not!) I prefer the '53/'54's unchopped, but the '49-'52's can go either way for me. My vote is a traditional lowered stance (no bags yadda yadda) with the stock roof.

That goat rules.

 

Here's my '50 Chevy......still a ways to go! Check out the old rain guards!

 

This thread has me itching to get started on my '54! I should be able to start when I get back from Lonestar and from there I will work on it slowly over the next year or two.

I have 365 Cad V8, NOS Weiand 2 x 4 intake, True Cad Sombrero wheel covers, '53 Desoto Gauges and some other odds and ends. Now if I can just find a decent stock front suspension because I sold mine off when I though I was going with a MII. I still may but the thought of having the original suspension lately is appealing.

 

Here's a few. May be more in his gallery.

 

Worked all winter. Got my 50 on the road in time for summer cruising. Here is a few pics. GUS

 

Another fine example of a cool four door....

 

Ok here it is . Dont worry i can take it. YES ITS A BABBIT... I HAVE ADDED SOME NEW SHOTS OF SOME CHANGES MUY CAR IS GOINJG THRU . IN THE PROCESS OF A COMPLETE SHAVE AND HIDDEN TRUNK RELEASE.

 

I like this!

 

Ok
Here is mine with 6 way power seats - comfort is important at my age.

 

Man there is sure some sharp looking rides, in this thread!!!
And this 50 coupe, gives me motivation to keep working on my 51 coupe, and also makes me just gotta get a set of lake pipes!!!
