49 - 51 ford lovers might not want to look.

None of them look "right" - the middles are all fackered up. I don't care how well you make the sides smooth into eachother - it's the winsheilds, posts, and rooflines that really screw up the look.

 

Just like the Zimmer's. Take a Lincoln and slap a different front/rear end on it and charge a fortune. Someone mentioned earlier taking money from dumbasses - well check this out. I wish I would have thought of it first.

 

Man, I hate it when that happens... I'm gonna go out and apologise to my 49 coupe jus cause it has to exist in the same world as that...

 

i kinda like this one... from this angle anyway...

 

I want to inject penicillin directly into my eyes.

 

I saw one of the "new" '53 Vette jobs at the Road Kings Picnic.
I was thinking. "Gee if only the factory had made such a cool looking retro car..."
It actually looks good, for a very new, very over my car budget car.
It doesn't look odd like that bird in a box.
It just looks like a cool custom Corvette, with all beter atributes of the original '53 car, only with better finished fiberglass. It works because the '53 and the new Vette have the same wheelbase, so the proportions are still there.

That T bird....
It looks a little better if you look at it as a customized Tbird rather than an uglyfied Shoebox....

 

im suprised no one mentioned the ones for chevy trucks

 

Like the goofy-ass "coupe" for the S10 blazer, the "Studebaker" conversion, or the 50 Chevy conversion for the full size ones?

 

there is some turd-bird here in tucson with one of those shoebox conversions. i dont see why its a big seller, i understand that its maybe hard to find one in other parts of the world, but in tucson old cars are every where...i honestly know where 12- 49 and 50 shoebox coupe's are here all for sale. if someone needs one so desperately that they will resort to this kit as an option, please call me....i will be happy to intervein and help you get a real one.....

 

A guy has one at last year's Back To The Fifties....For Sale as a '49 Ford...I mentioned that I was surprised they let him show it 'cuz it's past the '64 cut-off...he insisted it IS a '49 that was customized with late model parts!?!?!? I've also seen a 90's Cadillac De Ville made into a '50 Pontiac coupe....towed behind a Gold Chainer's million $$$ motorhome....

 

This IS Bob Bleed...and he BUILD'S 'em.....

 

Oh man, yeah, I actually saw one of those the other day on-line. Oh, my aching head!

 

these are becoming common at car shows and cruise nites and they look terrible, i'm sorry.. these are not real "customs".. sorry to rehash this thread..

 

You resurrected a useless thread from 2005!?!? On PURPOSE???

 

yeah sorry, had to
vent this one out!

 

The 53 corvette one on a late vette is killer,cant handle the bird though http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79LLzwHv9u4

 

Not my cup of tea but a hell a lot of people don't like what I drive either.

 

this thread should have been deleted in 2005

 

Amen!

 

I guess you dont want to hear about what I just did with the wife's camaro then??
