Build Log: 1948 Pontiac Streamline

[BHOss_Hawg]

Just picked up this 48 Pontiac, in need of some serious love and massive audio. Will be updating with its progress. Has a Pontiac 389 under the hood. Planning on adding several modern features, new paint, new leather interior, large audio system, and air suspension.

I can already see it done! Beautiful car! 😍

Had an injury so I was out of commission for a while, still have to wait to heal to do body work. Finally able to start light interior work though. Removed a lot of useless switches and wiring. Got the backseat completely removed and about to start cleaning the base metal and plot wiring runs.

That's one hell of a canvas!

Back seat and rear are now fully striped. Wire clean up and center console removal for the front. Going to put down a rubber sound deadened spray and dynamite before reapolstering and creating a speaker box for the rear deck. Trying to figure out if/how I want to add some subs to it.

Spent the last few weeks changing radiator hoses, stripping/gutting the interior, scrubbing all the old glue and padding out, and now rubberizing the entire floor. Still have a lot to go then on to thermal barrier and sound deadener. Then relocating the battery to the trunk, residing the entire car, laying down carpet, and custom fitting/installing new seats.

Finished rubberizing and welding the float boards. Just got down the heat barrier on it all. Up next is running the new fuse block wires, power lines to the trunk, and speaker lines, as well as figuring out seat placement. Once that is done it’ll be ready for sound barrier later and carpet.
