Shoebox Fords with radiused Rear Wheel Wells....

Does anyone have pics of these? Street, Strip, doesn't matter. I love the way these cars look with Open Rear Wheel Wells.......Thanks Centurion9

 

Chopmerc on here has 1 from Jersey .Theres a pic of the Lenny Legere car in my Ancient East Coast Customs thread.I have a ton of pics.Ill try to make a Kinkos run later

 

here is one of my favorites.................

 

my 51 victoria.....

 

the Lenny Legere ford, and another 51 victoria, old never finished kustom....

 

And now somebody needs to show the old Hal Hutchens built,Bert Hummerol c ar that Red McCormick owned.

 

I can't remember the exact issue, but back around 1989 or 90, Hot Rod featured a wicked blown Hemi shoebox with radiused wells. Hopefully someone will have a picture of it (the color was red and I believe it was the pull-out feature).

the Burt Humrol Ford....looking like a 4x4 with those radial tires, great car otherwise...

 

Some new guy has it thats not really into customs.

 

a few other pics i have.....

 

My Bro-In-Law's Old Shoebox..... '51 Ford Tudor 60's Style

 

One of the best looking ever (with exception of the Valley Customs Ron Dunn Ford)

 

really nice looking cars, wonder what my 52 would look like

 

Lee.....That's the car I look at every morning. Not the real one, but the pull-out I had mounted on Foamboard. It's owner is a familiar name, COLE...CUTTER Maybe.....I just can't grab it right now. Someone will come up with it. What a beautiful ride!! I like these cars because they have that great Gasser look that was easy to do when I was a kid building AMT kits.....It's still a great look! Thanks....Centurion9

 

The chopped convertible has always been a favorite, it has a real tough attitude sorta, while still being understated.

 

I had that same fold-out pinned to my wall in college. They definitely nailed the look on that car. Hopefully someone still has a picture off it they can post (I lost that issue years ago).

Not to threadjack here, but anyone got any pictures early 60's Comets with radiused rear wheel wells? I was thinking of doing mine.

 

I agree with the above selections, and would add these two more:





Seems like this has most often been done on sectioned cars, but not exclusively. I really like the shape of the stock rear wheel openings on shoeboxes, but the radiused wells look great on the right car.

 

Cole CUTLER, I believe.

 

50Fraud.....You're right! It is Cole Cutler....Thanks! The search continues.....Centurion9

 

Here's Cole Cutlers........................above



................and a nice Street Version of what I'm talking about.....Centurion9

 

Sorry guys,but i've never liked that look. A Shoebox without skirts is one thing,but radiused,to me ,just looks bad...Kinda like radiusing a 55Chevy,that ISN'T a Gasser!

 

That's the car......I wonder if it ever saw the strip. Should fly with a huffed 672.

I thought that name was familiar......Cole also built this '34 Ford back in the late 80's. Another one of my favorites from that era:

Coles car is the one that made me want to buy mine in 1990… I went a different direction with mine… but I still dig that thing! Cool!

That photo and the one below come from the Barry Mazza photo collection.

Hmm edited.. just realize you meant the other photo


You can see the complete Collection here:





And welcome aboard... I love your historic photos and facts.

Just came across this older thread, ive been wanting to do this to my shoebox for a while now but I just dont have the balls do it, maybe more pics would help...
