Earl Valdez's 48 Chevy Fleet Line

When I was a kid, I remember Earl Valdez and some of the other high school friends were really into the Low Rider scene in Southern Colorado.... in my hometown San Luis Co.  It's great to see that Earl is still Low Ridin' today.  I hope to get more photos of his '48 Fleetline when I visit home in the future.  Can't wait to see it bagged and draggin' the bumpers. 

'32 Five Window Update



Drove over to Dale West's home in St. Louis ... what a nice place...
Mike Boerema from Gas Axe Garage in Michigan met me at Dale's...
5-W went on Mike's trailer and we loaded my new '32 Roadster frame...
Decided to bob the rear end.... no exposed gas tank.
New floors compliments of Brookville Roadster!!


Mikes did a great job...  nice and tight frame to body! 




Mike modified '36 Ford wishbones for the rear end and reinforced the lower tube...
We decided on a '40 flat rear cross member...








Just add paint & gas!!!
Here is a nice shot of Mike's finsihed work.  I added some chrome shocks and shackles to off-set the black. 
I traded out the steelies for a few weeks for a different look... next... a louvered hood, hood sides and deck lid!!!!!
