Another shoebox build thread

chopping the front of the frame off to make room for the mustang II clip






got the front clip held in place with some bolts through some existing holes, just has to be welded up

 

Car is looking really good, my next build is going to be a shoebox. I will save this build

 

Pretty readical chop, nice work though, keep up the pic,s I'd like to see where your headed with this...

 

thanks!

 

yeah, I've had a few people complain about how much I chopped it, but I've seen a couple with the same chop that looked so good!

this is one that has the same chop

 

Everyone has there own personal taste including myself. I like a full blown sled like your doing. Keep on going your doing a hell of a job. I'm more conservative but i love radicals.

 

Radical is good! Great job!

I think the Shoeboxes can handle a radical chop like the red one above. Some cars cant. Nice work!!

 

That's a m***ive chop ! Looks like you do nice work . Keep rollin' & postin' .

 

getting the clip welded up



now to start making the bag brackets

 

Could be a sweet ride when its done....

 

thats what I'm working towards

 

that is a mean looking chop

 

Keep goin...this is my old '50...'nother guy in town did the chop and also the mustang II setup. Had a 350 chevy/3350 turbo and drove like a dream. Last 2 photos were taken after I sold it.

 

Looks very aerodynamic.

 

thanks! your car is lookin sweet! i love the dakota digital gauge, i want the one they make for the 51

That is one seriously hard chop to your shoebox.
As others have said, I'm not so much into big big chops like that, but it looks great. I reckon you have nailed it and I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product.
I look forward to you posting more pictures soon.
Cheers.

 

This is my shoebox chopped 7 and 9 like yours but my pillars aren't leaned? I am 6' 1" and ride comfortably in it. I do duck when I hit hard dips but just cruising is not bad. I drive it in long trips as well.
