Just my 2 cents Chad....I believe true surviver cars should be left alone. Only maintained. Cars that have be stripped out or crashed over the years are good candidates for cutting up and playing around with. Food for thought.

@nakbad363 2 года назад

I Agree!!!!!!

@wilburcowart9590 2 года назад

I would give the 4000 for it if It was in the USA but Alabama is a long way from the car. Not very many of these are still here.

@bob1117 2 года назад

My 2 cents, as many here have already mentioned...not all cars have to be customized, she is beautiful the way she is, maybe just a little more TLC needed....besides you probably already have many other projects to last you a lifetime. :) Thank you Chad and Jolene for sharing, really enjoy the channel. Awesome job on the camera work Jolene

@kimberlywilliams9757 2 года назад

I would leave it as is. If it's in great condition then leave it alone. If it's rusted out then modify it. If it ain't broke, don't fix it! 😁👍 But, if you buy it it will be yours to do with as you please and we have to respect that fact. I would just restore the inside and you could modify the back doors if you absolutely had to do something to it.

Good day Hiltz Motor Co... I would have to say I would leave it as is.. Original cars are getting harder and harder to find. I say preserve the history and cut up something that isn't road worthy and make it road worthy again.... But it will Chad and Jolene's to do whatever they want with it. Will be interesting to see their decision...

@pigs607 2 года назад

Due to the depression Chevrolet and Pontiac Divisions were merged together as a cost saving measure, and at one point GM execs considered killing the Pontiac brand all together. A well heeled gentleman named Frank Hershey swooped in and kept the brand alive. He created the Silver Streak which was essentially a silver band running down the center of the hood which would distinguish virtually the same parts from Chevy and Pontiac with something as simple as a chrome band! Now Pontiac had a visual brand identity.

I've never much cared for 4 door hot rods... that said though if I had access to late model running gear, front suspension (disk brakes), I'd be really tempted to leave the outside alone, but have most creature comforts of a late model car inside... better heater, defroster, etc., A/C. Keep that steering wheel and dash though. You two should just do what you want though. I love watching your ideas come to life!!

This is a tough call. To totally restore it would take a lot of money. I would fix it up just nice enough for a nice daily driver. I would not cut it up for a custom project. These are just my thoughts and opinions. If the price is write i would by it. If it is your car you can do what you want. Bill

@brucesahroian1482 2 года назад

My Dad Had one of those except there was a more esthetic body style between the 2 door (the model my dad had) and this 4 Door. The nickname for the 2 door was "Torpedo" as the rear roof was sloping at an angle longer and much better looking! Those hub caps look like the ones that came on my 1965 GTO!?

@snoopu2601 2 года назад

My older brother just sold his 1948 4 door Chevrolet for $ 4,000 he got what he wanted for it it still had the original paint job or it was painted once long time ago. Anything higher than $5,000 it better be super clean it's just a common car from the 1940s. I have a 2door Chevrolet coupe the body is clean but it's been messed with before I bought it so I don't mind kustomizing it chop top with air bags, a whole new interior design

@joshtonry4291 2 года назад

Brother Chad you do what ever you want to with that car. When I was at wyotech we watched a movie where Gene Winfield chopped a Merc. Not just some rusted out project, this was a merc with nice paint and nice interior, and he cleaned the paint off where they were going to cut and away they went with chopping a nice, painted, finished driving mercury. You build custom cars, you cut that car up too, and appreciate the fact that this canvas is nicer or cleaner than some of the other cars you have built before. Just my 2 cents. Thanks and keep on it

@allanimalstaxi 2 года назад

Keep it as is, once they are gone you can't get them back. Use as your beater, to drive every day around town, now that would be cool. You can fix those dents no problem in a couple hours and not even need paint.

@13711961 Год назад

I know Chad and Jolene, you will do what you want. I’m a big fan of Pontiac’s and think this car is a survivor car. I personally don’t think it should be chopped. Especially since Pontiac is out of business. I think if the car was in poor condition rusted then chop it. That’s my opinion like my belly button we all have one. Whatever you do I am a fan of your work.

@ejharrop1416 2 года назад

Looks like a reasonable car and the body work is just ok . What if you made another flathead drag car this time with the six, but like it was done by a 16 year old kid in the 60's, without a lot of cash, like a throwback. Not sure I am making any sense but I know Chad will make it a winner. Thank you, yake care and peace out!

@willhorting5317 2 года назад

I think it should be left as it is. I enjoy seeing the customs you make. But sometimes, a car like this just needs to remain as close to original as possible.

@billvankesteren3030 2 года назад

My suggestion is to section it - take three inches out around current door handle height (ie: so dash etc drops down without having to be reworked). It will take most of the side of the bonnet and probably increase the size of the sail panels.

some cars should just be left alone mate, although its far from perfect its still something that can be enjoyed as is, keep it as is, restore it or walk away and find something thats already been stuffed with or is too rough to be left as is. im all for custom cars, im currently building one, but not everything needs to be a hotrod. walk away, some of us can only dream of being able to have something like that as it is.

This '48 is far too nice to customize, it’s near perfect like it is, too nice to mess with please. It has a special kind of beauty that should be left alone. What I’d like to see (if you wouldn’t mind) would be a 2005-2010 Chrysler 300 Srt8, full on converted to the gangster style car of the late 30’s, early 40’s. Custom paint, custom ground effects kit, trim delete, lowered, tinted out windows, engine built up, rims and tires, and smoked headlights and tail lights, a wide body kit? Black that beast out! It is an awesome start to the ultimate gangster car. You are only limited by your imagination!
