1950 fleetline-build thread

another from the front but with the hood set on

 

My my, look how handy I am with a sawzall! I will get you the pics of where I found her harv, and what I went thru to drag her home!

 

Haha sounds good big buddy!

 

Little update... It's been too damn cold to do anything on the car. Winters can be a pain in the ass here in Idaho! About 8 degrees in my garage. No fun. Once it warms up a bit well be kicking ass on this old gal! I'll keep the updates coming

 

Let's see a shot of the rear..

 

On the first page actually, just though of that. There's a few rear shots

 

Ppl will rag on you for the tail lights, but I for one would like to see how they turn out on that 50's smooth rear end. Post the pics!

 

I thought that Fleetline looked familiar, That bus in the background of the first or second shot is mine. I actually went with Derric to get it. The funny thing is that the pics that have the date on them I took.
Click on the picture for a link to the pics I took. there isn't very many.

Got any more pics of the chop?

 

The HAMB will be the first to see em. I think they'll look sweet myself!

 

Not yet, it's been too damn cold in the garage with all this snow. It is however gettin close (this month hopefully) to get back on the girl. And I can wait!

 

Hey sweet70beast, when I'm not using my phone I'll look at those pics. Dereks actually one of my buddies helping with this build. She's got a lil way to go but will get there soon. I'll keep all posted

 

49/50 Ford tailights and windsplits are the perfect lights for that car IMHO ...looking forward to more chop pics!

 

I've thought about those tails. Trying to keep chevy with chevy etc. but I am open to suggestions.

 

give me a week or so and I'll let you know about those skirts if you still want them

 

Yeah for sure. I lost a few eBay bids on a pair.

 

Dude that is a HUGE chop. Can't wait to see more on this one. Keep it up.

James

 

Man I'm trying, like I've said it's too cold. I'm gonna get out there today and start cleaning up the garage and getteady to get on her. It's a big chop, you're right! Looks aggressive and slick tho.

 

So then that rules out the modern Cad lights then

 

Looking forward to seeing more progress on the chop. Another reall cool choice for taillights would be to put them in the bumperguards. Thier was a real good one done for the last tech week. Todd

 

Haha! Ok, ok GM with GM?

 

I read that tech. It was masterfully done.

 

looking good keep up the work. any pics of the back of the chop?

 

No pics of it yet I will ge some one here this month. Hang in there. I sure am. Barely

 

dig this thread! thats a tough top to chop i would imagine,cant wait to see more pics

 

It's pretty tough. But ain't nothin to it but to do it, right? As soon as I get a chance and opportunity to work on the girl the pictures will be coming.

 

Im diggin this one.Goning to be a killer ride.

 

Thanks man, she will be for sure.

 

WOW! I guess I should load up some tools and come finish your chop job huh. I've been kinda ass deep doing my 54 that I kinda forgot your ride is only half chopped, lol! Maybe me and Jarod can come down with the sawzall and welder and finish you up soon. You got my number, give me a hollar.

 

Lol how's that for timing? Yeah just missin the welder portion! Can't wait. My time up till now hasn't been free. But it's all smooth sailing from here on out!
