Custom Grills For SHOEBOX FORDS

I had a chance to pick up a 49 Ford when I was 16. It was sitting on the side of the road with a "FREE" sign on it... when I went to get my g/f's dads trailer, I came back and it was just getting cinched down onto someone elses trailer. This post makes me wish I woulda stayed with the car and had her go get the trailer herself.

Cool *** cars. Wow.

yes Billy, thats Bobs new car.

 

that ******* he knows im lookin for a shoebox i better get to drive than one too how much he pick it up for

send me some more pics too

 

That sectioned Ford was for sale at Wolfman's Rod Shop near here some 15 years ago for under 10 g's, it was still wearing the tangerine paint with newer flames. I coulda bought it, but I only had 67 cents in my pocket.

I talked to Weesner at VLV, those aren't in fact Studey fender sections at all, they're completely scratch built, it's a great looking front end.

 

Anybody now the specs on how much Weesner's chop is? Was it a sedan?

 

Weesners car was a coupe but even though the 1/4 windows are relitivaly short,Ibelieve they used a sedan rear roof section

 

surprised no one has posted a 51 Canadian Meteor grille, been lusting for one forever, getting closer to getting one.surely someone has shots of the 49-50 and the 51 to share.

DeSoto. ('51-'53 I think!) If you see them everywhere, snag them...they are worth bunches.

Everytime I see that pink Shoebox I just see this guy...



I like the bullet myself. One of the reasons I got a '49. Might replace the windspinner with a skull or something scenester-ish.

oh i just pissed myself...

 

The grill is a 55 desoto cut down. I have one already cut down. I also have found one of the canadian meteor grill surrounds that look like a merc and bolts in. TP

 

Not a real custom but all mine

 

Sorry for the ****py photoshop. I peed myself also!

 

Oh my gawd... I'm crying over here.

(of course I'm drunk overhere!)

Where's that lampshade???

Weesner's car was a tudor sedan that was rechopped three times to get the right flow, according to him. Scott Guildner added the coupe quarter windows. I am not sure how far it is chopped, but the car was featured in Custom Rodder in primer about 2-3 years ago. Not sure of the date, sorry.
