Finally some pics of the bomb..

The 48 Fleetmaster i picked up after selling th draggin!

 

What are your plans for her?

 

I think im just gonna throw on a visor, some skirts, lowerer it, and roll it for a while.. I want to up grade to a 12 volt, and keep a 6 in her... Probably a newer 6 though.. Eventually i would like to put a fresh coat of some candy paint, and the whole nine, but uno $$$$$$ is always a issue!

 

That picture of it in the rain makes me wonder if that paint can't be saved. Some guys would kill for a patina like that.

 

I guess the paint was brought back to life once before!! I do want to keep it that way for a while, but that will get old after a while and then i'll have too change it up...

 

Sweet, I do like bombs, looks like you've got a lot of accessory shopping to do! Would look nice with some Fleetline fender trims on it.

The two tone one is my favorite, I had a '46 I wanted to pattern after it but I had to sell, too many projects. Good luck with yours.

 

Looks like a real clean start.

 

looks really good. i was always a ****er for them body styles. had a couple of them.

 

If you ever decide to go crazy and repower it look into a 292. Mucho torque and reliable.....................just ask Bob K.

Frank

 

Needs some new wide whites.
just my 2 cents.

 

These are look i love... Simple and elegent!!! Its gonna take a while but it will happen!!! I've always had a love for a nice lookin ol skool lowrider! They can fit in at about any kind of show... The line are like a nice figured woman...

 

looks good ,did you get it in missouri

 

West side of IL... Right on the border.. Just south of Quad City, Iawa

 

looks like the perfect start!!! what a great looking car

 

That would look real nice lowered!

 

i seen that in a add ,looks good

 

That's what I wanted to do for my bomb.

Nice start to a cool bomb by the way...... and I do know a thing or two about bombs.

 

I just like the fact that its un-touched... un-molested... Noones elses hack job to try in correct.. I just hope that the funds dont fall to short... The wife love this one, so that help..

 

Well a little up date... Ive not had a lot of time but its still in progress! Last night i shined the thing up.. Amazeing what a little scoure pad will do to a old oxidized paint job.. It has a little shine too her... I just landed a 61 apache that has a great runnin 292, so im considering puttin that in her... Im not sue i want to tear the truck apart tho cause its not in bad shape either! Anyways, i hope to have some new pics up soon of the shine and the new wide whites mounted..

 

I thought '61 still used the Stovebolt series of engines, is the 292 in there a transplant? Maybe it's a 261? That'd be a really good engine to swap into your Chevy, it'll bolt up a lot easier and they have full pressure lubrication. Although a '61 Apache is a cool truck too, almost a shame to part it out if it's decent.

Got pics of the motor? Now I'm curious.

 

KOOL KAR . I KNOW YOU WILL BE A GOOD PARENT .
nice start too.

 

I was told thats what it was (292) Ive yet to do any real research on the thing... All i know is it runs like a champ and i drove it 45 minutes home with out a catch.. Its a 3/4 ton long bed with a 4 on the floor if that helps.. Its got about a foot of snow on it now, but i will get some pics of it later..
