I was never a really big fan of those cars sectioned, but that one does look cool.

 

Fleetlines are cool....

 

Fleetline? Thats a Shoebox Ford.

 

Oh really?!?! I couldn't tell by looking at the roofline...

 

YA i think he changed the roofline. looks lower than normal toward the back. I think thats my favorite part of it.

 

Look thru the questions to the seller on e-bay. There is a guy saying "I wanna buy this so I can show the guys on the east side how its done"... What the heck's he gonna show us? How to make a withdrawl from our bank account? If he wants to show somebody something he needs to get a grinder, a welder, a body hammer, and some balls...

 

the lines on this car look right on. I dont care for the new style headlamps but overall thats one cool shoebox.

 

Wow do you s'pose he sectioned it? I'm assuming it's a bagged and notched frame? For some reason ebay's not working for me right now and I can't really tell from this pic.

 

I can't get on eGay at work. What is the going price for it?

 

The guy posted his number, 443 area code, thats Baltimore area most likely. Id love to know who "Steve" is.

There is already a chopped and sectioned shoebox in the area, that I prefer to that ebay one. The roofline is interesting, but a bit overdone. And yea, those Hagan headlight kits suck.

 

I saw that car at Billetproof...it's got some rough spots, but otherwise pretty cool.

Quote-Body: The body is sectioned like a pizza slice to 51/2 " in the rear, it is also chopped 6" in front and 7" out back. It utlizes 41 Dodge C pillars as the B pillars.

 

How's that a "find??"

 

I saw this Ford at Eric's a while back and we flipped through some pics of what it looked like before...the top was pretty bad, had Zero porportion and just plain looked funny. He did a good job bringing it back to life by redoing the top. Although I have never liked a sectioned car, period, this one is cool though, my word of advise to the buyer...flip those damb bumpers back where they should be, get rid of the radius wheel wells, french better headlights, and put the quarter spears and taillights back on, but thats just my opinion.

 

looks good overall, but there is a shitload of mud in the section job. part of it towards the back is ground off for some reason and you can see the shitty metalwork.... at least in that one part. I have no idea what the rest of it looks like underneath.

seen it a couple of times locally....

 

did anyone see the final bid before the reserve was not met?

 

Bad-ass machine, you got to see it up close.
