ford shoeboxes,lets see them ! 49-51

lets see what hamb guys and gals have in the way of the ford shoebox!

 

absolutely not!!!

 

These are mine

 

Mine

 

this is my old box,the one i should have keep,all orig. bussness coupe with the flathead 6 ,&16s

 

my new one

 

Mine is the one on the right, it is supposed to look like the one on the left someday.

 

here's mine

 

Here's mine, coming in on the trailer, on three wheels. Now it's down to a body and a frame, but I have a new decklid, new passenger door, rear window, '51 hood, and pretty much all the interior except the front three headliner bows, the garnish molding divider piece on the windshield molding, and the front seat.
I'm shooting for the two-year plan, to have it running, but it may be the five-year plan.
As for the plan, it'll get clipped in front (and probably the dreaded 350-350) but on the outside I want it to look like a mild 1953 custom. (The hubcaps may be a few years later.)

By the way, as a result of all this, I have a complete '50 passenger door I'll be getting rid of if anyone's interested. I haven't even unwrapped it to take pictures yet; after I bought it, I learned they changed the door latches '49 to '50.

Mine

 

Here's the one I've been kicking around. Forged steel, balanced, over .550 lift in the cam ..and no muff on the lakes.

 

that merc grill is going to look sick...Ive got a 54 bel air grill and a pontiac grill but don't know wich one i like better.

 

Those bumpers look trick. How tough was it to section them and then get them ready for chrome? Love that car!

 

if you do the 54 belair grille,,it looks great with extra teeth,,,,king of dice sells repops of the center bar, teeth, and parking light assemblies...i think he has a website if you are interested,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

did this car used to be flat green? My buddy dre sold one a while back. He lived in brentwood/antioch

 

Not chromed yet...the license plate is hiding the pie cut to pinch the front one, i had to cut some of the splash pan out to get it snug, on the rear I had to take 3" out of the center but the contour is really nice. Not the best pic of the rear bumper..sorry.
