Customs Seeking Info on a 1951 Ford Tudor Custom

First, to Rich...thanks for the help and support. Second, an update on what I've found out about this car...1. It was chopped in 1955. 2. It did see some time as a drag car, with a blower motor in it. Don't know what kind of motor, just that it was blown. 3. It is channelled over a '77 Chevelle ch***is, done in '77 by Darcy. 4. I'm pretty sure it's got a '55 Chevy front bumper guard as a rear bumper.
We still don't know for sure what the back gl*** is out of, because it's shorter in height than a stock '51 Ford.
I'll be doing the paint in a few days. Atomic Orange with white pearl flames.(sorry, Richie, but Theresa won out with flames) Stay tuned for the upcoming pics!

 

Being from the West Coast, I now nothing about this '51 Ford custom. That car has so much going for it and will make a great cruiser when finished. Your work on it is looking so good the color choice will workout just right. The only thing, I see on he shoebox that is out of proportion is the surround for the rear license plate it's just to big. A sunken plate (tunneled) would look far better and give a cleaner look. Very cool keep the great work up.............................

CRUISER

 

ahhh no way...plain tunneled license plates blowww, i dont know what's worse, frenching kits for a license plate, or hagen 'cone' headlight frenching kits....

car looks like its comin along nicely..

 

Keep watching the Paint goes on next week..... Then off to the upolstery shop......

Rags........

 

Lookin great! Lots of progress, cant wait to see the finished paint!
