Hi this is one of my projects its a 1949 chev sedan. The photos aren't the best but both front floors need replacing as there are drain holes and were the old brake master cylinder is there is now an access hole. Have got a second hand new chassis that has been sand blasted and fitted with an hq holden LSD diff so the next fun part is finding a jag front end for it. Motor is not decided at this point as it is to be a family car so my options are the 396 big block that needs rebuilding or pull apart my LS400 Lexus for an injected late model V8. Plans are for keep the body standard run the factory steel wheels with white wall flappers that are in the shed and build a 50's style hot rod. But first strip it down and repair all the rust in both front floors both sills and tail pan area under boot lid. When I first got the car it had the 216 straight 6 in it in pieces it had engine builder tags dating from the 70's so it has been a while since its been on the road. Cheers.
