More like a Gasser style I'm going for. 50 Chevy Coupe, installed fuel cell, widened trailer fenders for wheel tubs, widened fenders 1" from stock, made rollpan from 53 decklid, lower quarters made from a new wheelbarrow. Here it is so far.

Please keep the pics coming. This looks like it will be a real winner when it is done. And welcome to the forum.
One of the most beautiful body styles ever made. Kudos on using the wheelbarrow. I used one once to make a firewall indentation.
Roll bar? Roll cage? Yes, no, maybe? I can help you to do it correctly (SFI certified technical inspector).
hey i have one to and i like mine .i have gone for the stock body with a welded up bumpers and filled in hood less rocker trim as 1/4 trim with a ladder bar 9 with moved in stock rear springs that i floated as well as a nova front sub with a 548 bbc for power they are great cars yours is getting there have fun
Welcome to CHR! Appears that it will be a wicked 50 when completed. Keep the pics and updates coming.:D
Man!! I really like what I see ! thats going to be one nice ride have always like the 49 thu. 52 chevy my first car was a 51 chevy 2 door hardtop I wish I had it back or could find another one I could buy for a song and sing it myself LOL
That's where I got the idea, a freind of mine told me they used one in the firewall. I knew I wanted to go with a rollpan instead of a bumper (maybe just a pushbar). A stock replacement lower rear quarter wasn't going to help me any. One thing I hadn't thought about was the wheelbarrow tub being heat treated, it was kindof tough and springy. I might go with a single rollbar, but a 3" chop is in order. Might be a good time to put it in huh?Quote:
