Thanks guys!
The car has been a blast to work on so far i have always wanted a complete custom car, and I have always loved Pro Streets, and the Big fenders slammed and on air was what i new i had to have after running across this car!

Oh and a custom built rear belly pan with flip down 1948 plates lol

sweet car man. I love those old coupes, I think after I get rid of my malibu eventually or if I get some side money that will be my next project.

Dropped off parts today should have the short block back middle of next week!
Trying to finish my metal mock up yet!
Like to have body off frame this summer so i can get the frame finally done and all ready to be smoothed.
Also heres a few pics of my G-body i sold awhile back thus the reason im here. I love the g-bodys and I have a weekness for them but i really wanted a custom car and this olds was way to nice when i got it to make a custom out of, I even left the bench seat and stock radio in it lol
I did change the running gear 455/461 BB olds turbo 400 9" 3.90 gears Really fun car but just had to go faster,
I'll be sure to keep you updated on the 48 later George
