Features HAMB Shoebox Club

damn thats gorgeous. nice job. whats your wheel setup and suspension????

 

Suspension is a 6 link with a triangulated 4 link forward and 2 rear cantilever arms for the bags. The front is a Nova front clip with bags of course.

Wheels, well I don't know. Pete Paulson wheels. 15s. Thats about all I know about the wheels.

 

Man your car is HOT, are you still running the flatty?

 

Negative on the Flatty. I wish, but it has a good looking 350 in it.

 

nice. i got pete paulsons too which is why i asked. yours must be standard. my reverse offset PP's are slightly rubbing and i got no room left. Then again might be my coker g78's.. anyways, NICE Shoe

 

Working on the interior, what do you think?

 

Can I join?
My '51 Custom Deluxe when purchased as third owner a year ago , previous owner had for 22 years. Stock flathead & 3speed OD. Excuse the lousy pic w/ pool reflection, picture was from previous owner. Have plans as soon as the new shop is done.

The body mods were done by the previous owner, I like the back rolled, but I need to do something else with the front

Anybody have any good pics of the box at LSR this year with the chopped silver roof w/ green sea weed flames that said gas chamber on the trunk? The sides were primed & had skirts. (looked like the baddess shoebox on the planet IMHO!)

 

I know this picture is more me than the car, but its such a great picture that I had to share with you guys.

 

great picture!

 

I Agree , awesome pic and would like to see more of your shoebox
