1948 Chevrolet 2 door Coupe

Post by falconwagon62 on June 25th 2011, 5:38 pm

You know I sold the Austin, I found this, and bought it to replace my "street rod" need....350-350, Mustang II, 10 Bolt, Tilt, was running and driving nice as bought, took straight over to Otis and had all new insides done....good pictures coming tomorrow...now to work out a few bugs, hook up the stereo, fix a few lights.....but it needs some pin stripes...dude said nobody even showed up to look at it, been trying to sell a few of mine, no luck, I did however, trade off the 356, and picked up one off my dream car list...more on those later....









New Insides...also put outside door handles back on.....

got the 48 back......finished up the stereo and amp...has some alternator noise, I need a filter....where do I get those now....installed the 180 Watt Kenwood amp with Pioneer Head, and 6" in the doors with 6 x 9's in the rear.....also got those Aluminum-Chrome door handles for all 6 for 69.00 shipped.....Otis made a box to cover my Fuel cell and my amp is behind the front panel with the battery.....now need to do a few more little things and drive the poop out of it....

no, rca's ran with remote wire under carpet, amp feed wires, because battery in rear are only 8" long, I am going to switch where my Feed to the radio is hooked in the fuse box and see if that helps....

Parts-Express has lots of car audio stuff. They are in Springboro. You can order online or go to their outlet store. Great people. This link should take you to what you need......
