here she is, the new shoebox...

sorry, tried to post images but couldnt get them to show up and after putting this all in, figured i would at least provide links for whoever has the time. Thanks!

yep, rough shape, but couldnt say no to the price. So far, the flattie is going to the person who hooked me up with it and the ****** to the previous owner. so I am still thinking over the power plant. but its getting a chop and drop eventually after lots of metal work.

thats not rough, thats in great shape. nice score.

 

Looks about how my Poncho did when I found her. Good find bro, but I would have reconsidered givin' away that powertrain! hehehe

 

thanks, not bad for $100... and once again, thanks go out to ichoptop for hooking a bro up.

 

looks good, I like the visor, Mark

 

if your lucky you can score some of that 100 bux back on the visor
put it on ebay!

list it under flatblack rockabilly kustom barris halibrand

 

The first step might be to meander by www.shoeboxford.com to find out what various powerplants, transmissions, rear ends, steering, and suspension options await you. Oh yeah -- and also meet a bunch of guys even more enamored of Henry's "box".

if you need patch panels

 

That shoebox is nicer than the one I gave $1800 for.

 

that polishing looks great.

 

"Road Devil".....

 

thanks for the links guys. those should be helpful. i'll keep an update going on the progress

 

Nice score!
