1948 Chevrolet fleetline fastback

Well, just bought this one, runs,drives fine, just needs gas tank repaired and a master cylinder. Now to sell my 1948 Plymouth!

 

One of my all time favorites. Congrats.

What are your plans for it?

 

One of my favorites too. My grandparents bought a new one in 1948 along with a new 1948 one ton Chevy truck.

 

Missing the door flares?

They repop tanks for these, so no sense spending big bucks.

 

Got all the parts and some stainless bars for making a custom grill. Hubcaps are in the trunk.
Gas tank is nasty. Gonna get a new one. Mustang 2 front end. 9 inch rear. Dropping 2 in rear, maybe 3 in front.... Not sure On that! Shaving all stainless and handles and locks.... Hmmm , what else?? Welding rear fenders and flares and leading them in. Gonna go an Chevy and a t5 trans. Gonna check on widening rear wheel wells for a but wider tire. Also shaving bumpers and putting pans into to smooth it all out.

Advice is appreciated !!! Been outta the scene too long, gotta find a lot of sources.

 

Nice looking Chevy!

 

Right on, do it proud and have fun with your build.

 

Great Start! I love these Fleetlines! Had one.... as the story goes!

 

Looks like a great car to get started with, a lot of stuff available to do everything you want to do with it. Have fun!

 

Wow, that is rad! One of my dream cars!

 

The only Chevy I will ever own. Awesome car man.

 

great find, keep us posted

 

Thanks fellas....gonna gather the floor pans for a start in the winter. I've found direct sheetmetal and think they have most of what i need. Does anyone know if there is a place that makes a front roll pan for elimionating the bumper?
*****in products makes the rear roll pan, but haven't found one for the front.

 

You will find that these chevy's are really good cars to work with, they make wonderful cruisers.

 

ONE of my favorites.
B.B.

Got those in the trunk. Just bout a 28 dodge so going to be selling it soon !
