Here's my '50, not too custom, s10 5 speed, '56 chevy rear, blocks in the rear and cut coils in front.
My first car was a 1947 Fleetline 2 door fastback, kinda run down but drove pretty well. Gave $115 in 1960. Back then, I wasn't all that crazy about it, but it was paid for by my grandfather. Beat walking to school. I've seen some of that style here and in other places that have been made to look really sharp. Of course that vacuum shift sure didn't help any when drag racing against friends.
