So i just picked up a 1949 olds and i need some ideas. Now i know it is a four door but i picked it up for 650 bucks! it has only 41,000 org. miles on it with a 303 rocket motor. I want this thing to drag on the ground but it has some crazy lookin suspension on the rear that i have never seen before. I want sugestions from top to bottom. Motor hop ups, colors, suspension, etc. Also if anyone knows where i can get a starter for this thing let me know. Pics of others would be helpful as well. Thanks
it should have coil springs in back,right? you could put airbags in there pretty easy i bet. you could sell that visor or trade it for some fender skirts. if you shave the door handles shave ALL of'em,not just the rear doors. as for engine hop ups,swapping on a later 4 bbl. from a '53-4-5-6 Olds will give you the most bang for the buck.
That still leaves me with the front suspension. Is the best option air bags? there has to be something cheaper than that to get this thing low to the ground. Any other ideas would be great.
