My favorite shoebox

Here are a few shots of my contribution to the world of customs. My friend Joe "The Gindo" and I built this toilet about 8 years ago from an almost descent bone stocker.

 

once again anthony shows he has no clue how to use a computer and is much better behind a brush or some one building a car with his design and drawings

 

more for him

 

Wrong , We both built the car. I cut and tacked Joe welded and did all the stainless ,the mechanicals and amazed the shit out of me for another 20 year old kid.Since I was the one into customs I had alot of the ideas but we agreed on everything. Ill be the first to say however,I could never build this car.

 

I like the taillights!

 

Could I get a closer look at that rear quarterwindow? heheheheh

 

The 1/4 windows are my favorite part and if we ever do another coupe Id even like em an inch longer.

 

wow... a very nicely chopped coupe. now if everyone else could cut a coupe like that...

 

and just think 2 20 year old kids did it 12 years agowith no help from any experienced car builder.

 

Very very nice

 

Let me just add that I only laid the shitty unfinished striping on it to get some work at a cruise night the other day and walked away from it as soon as the first job came along. Ill get it off tommorow.

 

PPPPPPPFFFFFFT................Shitty pinstriping, thats funny. You've obviously never seen mine.

Very nice job on the car. Looks great.

this is one of the best chopped shoeboxes i everseen
the flow of the back window is just perfect...

real good work there... just perfect...

 

That's really nice. And people try to talk people out of chopping the coupes I think this shoe just proved why they make great chops. Ofcourse you gotta have the skills to pull it off like you did. Very nice.

 

I know that car. I love it.
Say this isn't the same Joe as in "underwater welding Joe"?

 

Nice car, but I think the pictures need to be larger. I can't quite make out the molecules in the paint!

I love it.

I have a 51 coupe and that is what I am going for.

Great stance. What was done to the suspension to get it sitting so nice?

 

I'd Like hubcaps like that for my buick, those are 56 caddy right?

 

Nads ,This is not underwater welding Joe. It is Joe the Gindo.I think that other Joe still has a chopped 48 Plymouth and also lives in the south somewhere.

 

Thanks for all the nice words from every one about this heap. When I was 20 I had real dillusions of grandure when it came to this car.My only excuse is that most of those dillusions were chemical induced.

 

Where the fuck is The Frenz?????????? Maybe it doesnt lean forward enough or its too high fror him.

 

nice chop. tail lights are cool. looks good.

 

Maybe the shaved drip rails turned him off.

 

Man, what a great profile. You nailed it. Gotta love the merc shell too.

Billy

 

HMMM.... i never picked his brain on that one.

 

Thank God, that other Joe's got to watch where he steps and have eyes in the back of his head.

 

Dont know where he is. Have not heard from him for some time either.

But what I do know is that I love the lines on that Ford. Very nice chop, love all the small detailing like the rounder corners on teh hood (both front and rear and the B pillars. Wow and then the wonderful flow of the top.

 

This is the first time I see the Shoebox Ford you once told me about and the chop is really nice !!! You know I prefer the Sedan model and you also know how I want the roof on my car.The shape of the rear side window is nice and the shaved driprails work for me too.Actually I prefer them with driprails but I spent a lot of time looking at Keith Weesner's Ford lately and I think it's one of the best looking Shoebox Fords ever and his car has the driprails shaved too...
You are the preacher of the 1952 Hollywood look and I hope you guys are going to "finish" that sweet Coupe ! Here's a pic of Harold Scott's '49 Ford which has a similar look.I think your car needs a glossy and dark colored paintjob,skirts and some kind of shortened side trim just like the one pictured here...



What do you think,Anthony ?

 

I just came across this pic on the Pinhead Lounge website and it one more shows what an amazing pinstriper you are !!! Someday you have to stripe something for me.I dig your style a lot !!! I noticed the design differs from the pic you posted in this thread so I presume this one is older,or ?

 

Actually its after I added more on. This is actually one of the sloppier peices Ive done in quite some time.I did it in the dark as a few cruise nights here in Fla.Striping here is a different ball game! LIKE MUD!
