    AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!! I still have the car, just no time, I'm easily distracted, I've now got 5 cars in little pieces. wouldn't you know after 19 years there's some guy in KY building my car and it looks like he's doing a pretty good job at it, there's only one thing I don't like that I've seen so far... I still hope to do mine someday!

    I gotta be different, I like the g***er look. The fast back makes it unique. Could use some fenderwell headers, California red suade and racing stickers on the quarter windows.

    Leave the WWW's, lose the skirts, lose the visor. But I'm a little biased
    in my opinion.........

    I owned a 1950 Fleetline all stock with polished torque thrust with small white walls and two inch lowering blocks. It was cool just to drive around but I sold it!

    the g***er look is great for looking at your car with an occasional run . the mild custom is for driving. keep a 6 in it and join the Inliners International. built 292, 3x1's, cam, headers, stock rear (or?) t5 or 700r4 for highway. good luck with whatever you choose...just build the darn thing

  23. Scott, I know whatever you do will be killer. I am thinking back to the 80s and a Brown Olds Fastback that was in Hot Rod about 86 or so, slammed in front sort of a "hot custom" Around that same time there was a couple drawings by Dave Bell with the same "low g***er" look.

    Never really cared too much for fenderskirts on much anything personally, but I REALLY dig that G***ER -look...In fact I´ve never seen too many Fleetlines set up like that so I say go with that option...

    I have both styles ,and as for me the fleetlines are made to be cruisers , lowered skirts and smooth. The coupes and sedans have a better body for hot rodding and g***er styles in IMHO . My 50 coupe is high and looks the part of a g***er. Fleetline is pretty stock for now

    i'm sure that no matter what, it's gonna be spectacular. there are few people that have the skills, taste and 'testicular for***ude' that you have. flip a coin, get going and take lots of pics...
