Welcome.

Good on you for buying a '48. Those front fenders look better than 99% of unrestored fenders.

Restoration?

Hot rod?

I'm not trying to hijack your thread, but here's my '48 that I've owned for 51 years:



This one is a hot rod/street rod/luxo cruiser. I'm looking for an original 48/49/50 pickup though that I want to keep original and use for a (sort of) daily driver.

This is cool!

The chop was done very nicely!

I've got a few miscellaneous leftover pieces. Let me know if you need anything. I've got some extra doors if you want to chop yours. Extra door tops make a chop a lot easier.
