    Hell yeah. Would make a perfect Kustom or Hotrod. I have a sketch somewhere that I did of a car with that body style as a full blown Kustom.

    Thanks guys for the input. Will probably buy it when I go back north in the spring. It will still be there. A friend has it.

    Should be worth the $400, but it appears to be sitting very close to the ground so check the floor for rust.....don't want any nasty surprises. NY state is very much like Ontario and, unfortunately, gets lots of rain.
    I have a soft spot for 48 Chevy's.....my first car was a 48 coupe.

    Tried to look at the floor but its full of junk. I'll check it out better when the time comes to buy or walk away.

    Floors aren't that hard to make, the hood and doors are worth the price of admission. I'm to far away but if you dont take it offer it up on the board, someone will.

    The trim pieces should be worth that.
