51 Ford Vicky nears completion

Stopped by my buddy Harold's shop today and took some photos of his newly done Victoria coupe. It's kind of a metallic brown but looks more red in these photos taken in the sun. He plans to add some lake pipes and have it pin striped. Has a Chevy 350 under the hood. It will be at a few shows including the Lead Sled Spectacular in Salina, KS late July. After that he will be selling it. He did all the work himself except for the interior. Check it out.............

 

Looks really nice, is that what the roofs of those cars looked like from the factory? I guess I haven't seen to many Victoria coupes.

 

That is beautiful, am I off base asking if it has been sectioned?

 

'51 was the first year that Ford took the convertible body and placed a hard top roof on it calling it the "Victoria". Beautiful cars, almost got my hands on a solid runner about a year ago. Day late and a dollar short (I was on deployment).

 

BTW, tell your buddy Harold he's got a beautiful example on his hands. Nicely done!
