New to the forum from Kentucky

Hello fellow rodders,
My name is Sabastian, friends call me Seamunky, Seabass, or whatever else comes to mind...:rolleyes: LOL!!! I live in southern Kentucky. I've been building a kustom '49 Chevy Fleetline for a couple years now...... well, actually, drivin' it for a year now...... her name is REDRUM..... and she's getting a makeover this winter. I've already changed the tail lights and hope to get the bumper on the rear this weekend...... then I plan to start on the front...... or maybe get some side windows....... it's startin' to get a little chilly...... ......when spring time gets here again, after re-painting REDRUM, I hope to get started on my next project. I have 2 '27 model T's..... a coupe and a sedan...... I'm still collecting parts for them...... and I'm not sure which one will get rollin' first...... well, I could write a book about myself and my projects, but I don't wanna bore everyone......

....so, I'll just post some pics of REDRUM..... these were taken a month or so ago......

Welcome. I agree, the car really flows well. Chop looks like it came that way.

Nice job.

Great looking Fleetline, very well done on keeping the proportionate look of the car correct!!!! The dash and the rest of the custom touches you've used absolutely screams 50's!!! Is the outside of the car eventually going to match the dash? Keep us updated on the projects, and congrats on a very well done car,,,

Hey thanks Dave, yeah, the outside will be a couple shades darker than the dash and shiney (I hope)...... I like the suede look, but it's just as much trouble to keep clean as shiney paint, if not harder, so I plan to go shiney next spring, if the body work turns out good...... if it doesn't then it'll be just primer...... again..... until the body is perfect..... I plan to use alot of clear to make it really deep, so it needs to be perfect......
