Introduction
of the Project Car
The Fleetline 1950
custom
project car, standing approx. 12 y. waitin to get back on the roads for
a cruize.
Earlier in the mid -80s its customizing started, and now its returning
to life!
Although
lot of
parts could yet be brought from suppliers, 
main
target
is opportunity to fabricate mostly by hand,
with own designs and use of
parts nearby,who is easy to find,
as they did in the golden days.
The masters of kustoms
also did´nt go to the store to get
finished parts, but
needed handy work
for to accomplish the
target car. This Chevy is made as tribute to this era.
A lot of
classic old school customtrick has been worked earlier,
and now new ones is
made together with this restore.
The Tech sites,
has lot of information on early 50
Chevy modifications.
In Pictorial
Progress is the photos
which gives everyone chances to follow the work.
