New to Hotrodders

What's up everybody? The name is Chad and I am new to Hotrodders. I recently purchased this 48 chevy coupe from my great aunt. It had been sitting in her barn for the last 25 years. So I will be bouncing some ideas off you folks. Basically my plans now are new air ride suspension and updated drive train. I want the look basically stock with a much lower ride height, some white walls and hub caps. Right now I am thinking of a 350/T56 tranny. Anyhow, here are some pics of my soon to be dismantled ride.

In the barn w/ 25 years o' dust:


Arrived safely at home:


Tucked away neatly in the garage:


Cheers!
Chad

Welcome to a great site. I think those cars make a great ride. I'm just not as fortunate as you in finding an unmolested car in that condition. Good luck with your project!
