Re: 1948 Chevy project
The mini tubs turned out great! A trailer fender is an excellent way to fabricate a nice product without breaking the bank or running out the clock.

Re: 1948 Chevy project
Making progress on body. First coat of primer is on. Starting to get closer to looking like a truck again. 👍

Re: 1948 Chevy project
Cab is looking great. Decided on a color yet?
I'm doing a 2nd Gen 55 and my cab seems so small - can't imaging a 47-54! Looks full with just the seat installed.

Re: 1948 Chevy project
I am leaning towards the light blue on the new Chevy Impala. I have lite gray interior so thought that would look good.

Re: 1948 Chevy project
I raced for just over 10 years and it is without a doubt expensive, retired in 2005 right when the new ohv engines were being introduced. Good looking start on your truck, will keep checking back regularly.

Re: 1948 Chevy project
Finally some color. Interior and firewall painted. This way I can bolt back on chassis and do interior and electrical and not scratch outside. Will do the rest of paint later on. Just starting to come together. Will get some outside pics in the next few days. Color does not show up good. It is more of a blue and looks silver/grey in pics. Just excited to be making some progress.

Re: 1948 Chevy project
Oh I love colours that look a bit different in different light. Is there any pearl in it?

Re: 1948 Chevy project
No pearl in it just think the lights make it look that way.

Re: 1948 Chevy project
Seats installed today. They fit great and have power and heat. Came out of a 2008 Impala SS. Getting closer to doing interior sound deadner and carpet.

Re: 1948 Chevy project
I like those seats. They have a nice shape to them (power and heat isn't bad either)..
