Projects 49 coronet sled

i like it and look forward to seeing your progress. your bikes are pretty neat too. keep it up

 

so luckily mark found the decklid!

 

i found another issue i gotta deal with,with the location that i welded the front end on,now the front fenderwells are too far back,so now im gonna have to reshape all that..oh the humanity!

 

so im real busy on other obligations,but i figured out,for my own peace of mind, im gonna give myself at least 2 hours a day to work on this. that way i get some forward progress

 

uh not to hijack my own thread,but this one's my fave

 

So far it looks great. cant wait to see where this is going. Nice bike BTW.

 

i didnt know a coronet couls be cool in anyway but damn if you didnt make it right....

 

Paint it red and call it an early "poly".

 

do you have a website or a blog where you show your bikes? (and cars?)
they look *****in and id love to see more of them.

I dig it. Should move with that 3208. Just run a high gear out back

 

What a wild build, I love it. Excellent uniqueness man. Keep it rockin. ~sololobo~

 

This is so cool. Love it!

 

thanx for the links Lifestylz. loveley stuff

 

i believe the CAT engine is the only true stump puller "almost" in a car i have ever seen

 

well today i decided i better start on something easy to warm up for all the body mods,so i figured id fill in these bumper cubby's,thought i'd get both sides done,but i had so many people stop by,so it kinda slowed me down a little.so i only got one side done,but i got everything ready for the other side.yeah,sorry i dont have a website...i hate websites for some reason,but thanks lifestylez for posting those links.ive been building bike after bike for about the last 10 years and im so sick of em i cant see straight! so this is the first car build since i dont know when,back when i was buildin n paintin cars,they were mainly wheelie poppin vw's.glad you are as stoked on this thing as i am!ok,i post more pics now..

 

ok, i gotta kinda planish all this and english wheel it..but i tig'd the whole thing so i should be able to blend it real nice without all the filler rod a mig spits out. i hate mig welders for some reason,but i can see how on a car they'r nescesary.

 

All I can say is WOW - you made a plane jane '49 Mopar look rad...any you put a Cat 3208 in it? I'm so enthralled... gonna watch this beauty take shape.

 

Cool !!
I really like the windshield.
I messed with that idea on my chopped '49 Fleetline, but never could get it to look right..
Nice job...and good luck on finishing it...

 

so i found this picture i drew like 10 years ago,it was loosely patterned aftwer a 53 chevy which is what i had every intention of buying,but every one i looked at,was between 3 and 4 grand,and in really bad shape. so when i came across the '49 dodge,it was uglier than hell,but i liked the sloped "b" pillar.plus,it was in fairly nice shape.so i figured with enough surgury i could make it look good...kinda the excact opposite of roseanne barr!

 

so i havent had much time to work on much,but i squeezed in a little today,i layed out some radius's to try and make my own headlight buckets,cuz i want to re-shape the whole front end and extend the headlights out further...bear with me,ive never made headlight buckets before..so its gonna be a trial and error deal

 

sorry,i got a really f#cked up thumbnail
