But he didnt stop there. The sleek-for-the-late-40s fastback was narrowed 12 inches, then sliced and diced, in POSIES words. The body was channeled down over the custom tubular frame, and nine inches of its lower edges were simply cut off. The original fenders were left on the shop floor after they were removed. The hammered roof was finished with a vestigial sunshade, and topped with a carefully shaped insert that was neatly riveted in place. In keeping with this cars unorthodox nature, a modified 32 Ford grille shell with an expanded metal insert was canted at a slight angle, and flanked by a pair of sleek, Art Deco headlamps, to complete the front visage, The result, finished in PPG Dark Regal Blue semi-gloss, is faithful to its origins, but its taken on a much more aggressive look thats reminiscent of a modified Sportsman racer.

Here is a 48 Chev sedan in a more stock condition.
