I found a Chevy fleetline that looks like a '48 for sale pretty darn cheap. Not what I am looking for but it's solid, original. It's a 4 door. Does anyone have any photos of these in different styles? I was thinking of a bomb since it's a 4 door but I don't know... I might leave it bone stock but I kind of like the idea of driving the hell out of it too with v8 power/discs... Any tips/ideas?
I found another fleetline locally as well.. I just cant decide if I want another one.. even if it looks solid check the rockers close.. and feel up on the top of the frame rail for rot.. most of the chevys have rust at the rear fender lip.. if no rust in these areas. .. go for it.. as for another build idea.. how about finding a junk 46 - 48 chevy sedan delivery and doing a graft? the 4 door and the delivery should have the same doors.. disk brake conversions are avail.. and lots of suspension upgrades available.
i would take pics of mine but its dark. they are the shiiiiiizzzzzzz dumped on the ground. and tons of parts availible for em. Pm me if you need any help with em. I have built quite a few
Here you go...This might give you an idea of what you can do to a four door.......Looks bad and it's different!
Buy it and flip it to a lowrider. They're the only "Car Guys" who actually seem to and may prefer four door "Family Cars".
Hey, I have a '48 four door, too. It's not a Fleetline though. It's chopped about 3.25" and hardtopped. That'd be pretty cool with the line of the Fleetline.
