wichitaundertaker - Checkout Rod & Custom December 2009 there's a very good article on dropping a '49 to '54 Chevy the o'skool way. Here's a photo of a cool 4/D when it's dropped and keep simple. Cruiser
If your want to get rid of the hubcaps I'll take em off your hands. I want my 54 to look all original outside but go like a ****d ape.
aqua pearl on bottom, white pearl on roof, lowered a few inches, white interior, fender skirts, wide whites and some go "fastish" goodies on the six. got the hood smoothed, removed the teeth from the grille. when it warms up or i get bored and man-up, i will remove the bumper guards. pretty much a 50's style custom.
let me see what i want to do with the wheels. i dont know if i will run spiders or not. i'll let you know. there is a real nice set on fleabay right now.
