49-52 chevy guys. post a few pix

Hey HAMBrs, How about a few pix. of 49-52 chevs. I got a 49 2 dr. sedan that's gonna become my wife's cruiser. She wants to see what one looks like all together instead of the heap of parts that we got in the garage. Seems like everytime she goes to a show with me all that shows up is a 4dr. So it's been hard to get her to agree to any mods on the car. So post up a few pix. for her to see. All degrees of stock, mild, or wild are encouraged. And in any stage of completion. Thanks, ....Mike.

 

If you search for 49-52 chevies, you'll find a ton of stuff. This has been done before. Here's mine:

 

Here is my sons' 52 that we got from a fellow HAMBer. Mostly stock with some lowering. They love it and are going to use it to learn more about doing more mechanical stuff on their own.

 

also check out www.50chevy.com they have tons of pics and how-to's

I love the way a cool tail draggin custom looks, definately on the project list.

 

Hey Muncie and Sam F, How much chop on those cars? I like the way they are done. The roofs look long and the rear side gl*** dosen't look like it is too short for the car. Very complementing to rest of the body lines.

 

my beater and perpetual project:

 

lovely car.......same question as mike47 bout the chop,outta interest...this and samf's start as 2door sedans,rather than say sport coupe body?

 

The world does not need any more poorly chopped '49-'52 GM sedans. Think very hard before ruining your car. I am not anti-chop, by any stretch of the

 

....hello? someone call 911

...i'm glad i'm poorly chopping a coupe then....off the hook

those are even easier to mess up!

 

...the billet will make up for it

 

Chili Phil, What would be a "poorly chopped" sedan? I think that Sam F.'s car and the one posted by Muncie appear to be done in good taste. Also ray's looks to be nice as well. I'm not against unchopped either, I think the sedan would be OK if left stock roof line. I just think that a 4-5" haircut looks better. That's why I asked how much are off of these particular cars. I am not looking to make it a drastic chop with micro-mailslot windows. After all, my wife would be driving it most of the time so it would have to be pretty friendly to operate and see out of.

 

Here's mine. Yes, its spraypainted. No, I don't care.
