Features 1948-52 New Old Style Kustoms

48 ford pickup. It has a modern drivetrain and chassis under it. Put some 760-15 4" whitewalls on it. It doesnt look very kustom right now but it will get the treatment soon. It was a $400 body only special so the different chassis made sense.

 

Isnt this the one that you're planning on sectioning and chopping?

 

Hope so and will be cool.

 

sectioning it,chopping it...and channeling it too??

 

I need to get it together a bit more. Unsure of chopping it, it looks pretty cool with a sectioned and trimmed look with the stock roofline

First up is the finishing the bed then will go into getting the ground height right

 

Any updates? Yours is turnin out great!

 

I can honestly say this is one of my top 3 favorite Shoeboxes ever.... Beautiful.

Cheers,

jfrolka, i've been getting a bit done...mainly welding. Been trying different wheelcovers too.

 

^^^that shoebox sure is stunning!!

 

Here is my car, originally done by Miles Masa.

 

Nice chevy, very clean. Those 49-52's sure are gettin popular again it seems.

 

Starting to do some kustom work to the ol girl. Making a new back end, little tailgate. Got an old hollywood lic plate holder light, next is to weld in the Ford script from the beat to hell original tailgate into the new little gate. Thinking about tailights,????. And then pencil tips or flared out exhaust tips.

 

Unlike most, you've got a good fit going with the late chassis. Keep up the good work!
(One vote for no chop; often yields good results with sectioning..)

And hats off to Swedeshoebox for his custom Ford. Quite the amazing "home build".

 

I love this car

 

Fantastic!!!

 

Here`s new pics of my Dodge taken last Sunday.Car will be featured later this year in a local "American Iron" magazine and I took these photos while the pro photographer got out of the way..

 

Goddamn man!!!!!

I think your car has risen to my favorite modern custom.

Everything about it flows perfectly.

Your dashboard is AMAZING, I've always really wanted to do something kinda similar to my '46.

WOW!!!!!

 

Fantastic car... great stance.... wonderful photos.

Is that the Barris workshop?

 

Had this 51 for 20 years now and I still think it looks bitchin.

 

It does look bitchin because tradition does not go out of style. .....ever.

 

Glad to see this thread back up top where it belongs.
Jeff's dead right, and the merc looks bitchin cos it is bitchin.
