I've been working on my 48 chevy for about 10 years.
It's got a hopped up 1959 235 straight 6 with a synchronized 4 speed tranny, a Ford 9 inch rear end  for better highway speeds and a 4 barrel Clifford Intake and a 500 cfm Edlebrock carb with headers, Mallory Electronic ignition, air conditioning, Howard  Performance cam, and new paint.  I love the sound of my straight 6 coming through the cherry bomb glass packs and Harley Davidson shark tail exhaust tips.  My recent improvements was the Mustang 2 front end suspension installed by Arizona Street Rod Shop in Phoenix, Az.  The car was rewired at Lefty's Auto Electic in Phoenix, AZ.  I also added new '49 Chevy Hubcaps and Hotrod pinstripping.  My other plans include air ride suspension in the back, ghost flames, also to install big white wall tires.  I enjoy going to the Saturday night car show on 67th ave Bell in the K-Mart/Mixteca Plaza when the weather is permitting.  I also enjoy driving my car and going to local car club events.  I also on occasion attend the car show at the Scottsdale Pavillions.
