Len K Posted June 18 Report Posted June 18 Hey all. Just picked up a 48 Coupe. Looking forward to bringing this old gal back to driver status. <parts requests removed> Received the car with windsheild and rear window glass installed, side and rear quarter glass cut. The rear quarter lower regulator channels are good except for the rollers. cheers. Quote

Doug&Deb Posted June 18 Report Posted June 18 What driveline? Stock or modified? Nice looking car! Quote
Len K Posted June 19 Author Report Posted June 19 It was owned by a local hotrodder. Its been through a few hands here in Pittbsurgh over the last 10 years or so. Full book of records. Looks like the effort stalled when the interior and glass was next up for attention. It has a stock chassis, a healthy small block chevy with a 4 barrel, 2 speed power glide, and a 10 inch BOP rear axle, 3.55 gears. I would actually prefer a more stock vehicle but she goes real nice down the road!👍 Quote
p15-1948 Posted June 19 Report Posted June 19 Howdy for NE Kansas. Looks like you have a good one! Quote
Len K Posted November 12 Author Report Posted November 12 Back from a summer of work on the old girl. - New trans cross member - new exhaust - New gauge set up - New sneakers. Soon to install Front and rear springs New headliner, door panels, kick panels, and side window glass. Re-working the tracks/ New glass right now. Trying to figure out what thickness window tape I need, and the screw size for the front window posts that separate the vent window from the main window. Quote
Veemoney Posted November 12 Report Posted November 12 Nice progress. Do the front wheels have enough clearance, so they won't rub when cornering? Car is looking good. Quote
Len K Posted November 13 Author Report Posted November 13 Thanks. Front wheels are good. I'm running 215 65r15 up front 225/70r15 rear. Wheels are 15x7 with 3.75 inch. No rubbing up front. Have a little on the driver rear, car leans a little to that side. Thus fr/rr spring replacement is on the list. 1 Quote
