46-47-48 Chevy customs. are there any "COOL" ones???

i like it. i like it ALOT. especialy with the Buick lights.
i guess you can make these front ends look cool and original.

thanks...

 

I think the Buick headlights looks good, especially if it is chopped!! I have had the same thoughts with the grill, and I agree it is tough to make a good looking custom front on these models!!

But sure sounds like a cool kustom you are building!!

 

Check out Rikster's web site, there are several on there.... http://public.fotki.com/Rikster/11_car_photos/customcars_i_like/chevy_custom_cars/48_chevy_custom_cars/46-48_chevy_custom_cars/

 

Heres my 48 x 4 door....it was so rusty l traded a 50 Dodge tailgate for it.Couldnt figure what to do with it an I wanted a truck ..well the Ford cab and rear fenders were freebies so I started cuttin an welding. This will be season # 3 on the road and its a real blast to drive ,totally impractical but fun as hell . It will eventually get full fadeaways to the cab corners 53 buick headlights , and a different grill ,just not sure what yet. Its different maybe not real traditional? But I learned a ****load building it and had it on the road for less than $2,000.

 

i swear i've seen that same thing here before a million or so times. it looks JUST like a red X!!!

 

ok, no more RED X but now the link says i am forbidden... it's not nice to tease a guy ya know.

 

I didn't get the red X,I got the pic...all for under 2K?? looks cool as hell,how about more pics??

 

Actually shiny green color war first and now it's in primer. Rear fenders welded into the body and original taillights removed, that's why it's primered now.

 

And just for the fun of it....



LOL!

 

Some more:

 

Not a big fan of this particular car, but some might be.

 

This is my 48 Fleetline. The headlights are 53 Buick. The grill surround is 49 Mercury. I just have to finish the grill bar that will float in the middle.

 

Almost afraid to post this on the HAMB... but I got me a flame suit for xmas... here goes..

 

pretty cool, i like it. i see your rear fenders are sticking out a bit, not quite wide enough for those big ole wheels? did you know that the Olds fenders from the same years are 2 1/2" wider than the Chevy ones and they'll go right on the Chevy. i just learned that recently myself. somebody even makes fibergl*** versions. they are advertised as widened Chevy fenders but i'm not sure who makes em.

 

this one's my fiance's, if she doesnt sell it soon im gonna sell the modified and inherit it and redo the grille, and some of the front end....its cool and she likes it, but its not my favorite look.

 

here is another pic i found while looking for new ideas myself.............

 

Suuuure now I find that out. I'm pretty new to the "scene" and just don't have the connections I'd like... The wheels are 22x9.5 on 295/30 rubber I had to do something to hide it in there

 

The car is cool, but the grill is not really my taste!! It sure is different!

 

The car that RoadDevil just posted belongs to an old buddy of mine Dean from Ft Wayne, IN. If I remember correct KustomLincolnLady's husband Rob had a huge hand in the build.

 

Denise,

That car is really cool, I really liked what he did with the hood on this car.


Thanks for posting more pics!

Your welcome Nick. I really like it as well. I've been looking for some other photos I have of it, cloe up ones of the hood BUT I believe they were taken with my film camera. It might take some time but I'll see if I can find them. If I do I'll scan and post them.

 

WTF? I think I just threw up a little bit...

 

mike.. dont go giving away all my secrets... I would say more like 1.75 inches wider.. and ONLY olds fenders from a coupe, convert, or wagon (like I have) will work.. Olds fastbacks had some FUNKY rear fenders that DONT work..

the olds ALSO has a GAS door on the driver side.. (cuz a olds has CL***)
where the chevy had the gas fill neck on the p*** side..

I am gonna do some work to make the olds fenders work on my chevy, and use the gas door.. all in due time

sawzall

 

The Olds rear fenders make the *** end look FAT........I really like my Chevy rear fenders on Big Olds. PLUS it allowed me to use a very cool, completely shaved Chevy rear bumper that I had. If you use Olds rear fenders you'd better think of a rear bumper treatment...like an ugly old Olds rear bumper...

 

Does anyone have anymore pictures of this car?

 

I'm digging this one. Set the rear end down a little with some bags and it would be near perfect. Very nice.
