Customs De-Roadsterizing Shainerman's Shoebox

nice!

 

Nice work............if i was going through all that trouble id put a COUPE top on it>>>>>>>>>>>>

 

its fine just the way it is! no coupe top! i think this looks better than a coupe, but thats just me.

 

we were gonna do a coupe roof actually, however the elements got the better of the coupe, so back to a sedan. But the good thing is I already have all the sedan gear, so makes a little easier job. And with a family, the extra head room can help!

 

It's the Anti Chop thread

 

Stop telling him he is doing a good job, its just like feeding the animals at the zoo.....

 

I love it, nice work. Bringing one back from being a quick way out cut off.

Nice work and it turned out great,but i would have blasted the new roof first. But that's just me.

 

Shainerman is on a budget, and he's not an idiot, wire wheels and grinding discs are cheap!

 

Loookin good shanierman, seeems you found the right dude to get that bad boy back on the road.
Cruisin sooon....

 

I suggest leaving out the rear quarter windows. Seems that tudors just look cleaner that way.

 

Im with you 50fraud, Im gonna try to figure out a way to get one piece og glass for back there. It does look much smoother.

 

found some holes in the a post next to the windshield, and made up a patch for that corner.





Drivers door top is done,


And the passenger side is fitted and ready to clean and weld, I'll have to make a couple patches to fill in the rest of the corners.



and then weld the lip back on both sides of the window opening.

 

Shainer, looks bitch man! When it gets home, let me know, me and Joe wanna come over and see it.

 

Looks awesome Jay!!! Thanks for seeing the holes on the pillar too. And yeah Rick, ill give you a buzz this weekend. Maybe we can have a grinding party for the top, haha.

 

Looks good, don't take this as criticism but I kind of think if I'd had that opportunity in front of me? I'd have measured out and seen how much work to stick a Chevy Fleetline top on it. Just to mess with people when it's done.

Would be a lot more welding wire and grinding discs in that job though -

 

Good work Jay.

 

Its done! He picks it up tomorrow!

More better pics tomorrow when we get it outside.

 

That car needs som GV Gordon Vagabond Love pinstriping on it when done!

 

wow

 

crazy good! man looks great!

 

meh.... I could do that.....

If I had talent, tools and time.

Seriously, looks awesome Jay. Keep it up!

 

Nice work, and a worthwhile save.

 

I dunno...Tudor sedan top I woulda gotten rid of for the flattop appearance.

Hey! How about adding some pillar heaigt? RAISE the top! Little 'headroom', fer the good lookin' guy? Get it? 'head room'?

 

Heading up right now to pick 'er up. Be the next time any of you guys see her, she'll be rolling around daily runnin smooth as silk!

 

Great work! No wonder Oldbobsign keeps telling me he thinks your OK.

Who?

Thanks for the compliments, it was a fun project for sure! Almost hate to see it go.

 

I can hear it now...

"How the fuck does a car rust like that???"

 

Turned out good dude.... Nice to see another old ride put back on the road.
Cant wait to see it IRL.

 

Why didn't you take it to a soda blaster and clean the rust off it before you welded it on...??? That's the first thing I'd have done, sure would have made for an easier paint job...and an easier job of glueing insulation in...

Nice job on it tho...
