    Future project.....

     



    Finally got the time to go pick up my next project....48 Chevy Aerosedan....Ive always liked this body style.....the body is just about rust free and extremely straight...just surface rust from being sandblasted and only primed.....Doors are in just as good shape....only bad part is the front fenders....hood and rear fenders are perfect!.....Now I gotta start searching for the odds and ends like door and hood hinges and front fenders.

    The front suspension is stock (independant type) and appears to have been rebuilt. The stock steering is tight. I was wondering if anyone knew where to get a front disc brake adapter kit for this. If one is even made. I already checked Speedway and they only go back to 1949 for Chevy cars.

    Also, does anyone have any input about the stock suspension? Ive always built fords with straight axles. I would like to keep this stock suspension for simplicity sake.......Any pros or cons?
