    Great thread! My inspiration was seeing the Vega Ford and I knew my car would be a shade of maroon with cream/tan interior. This is my goal for my 41 Tudor...someday, and Living in SoCal it is a no brainer!
    Now if I can just get the balls to break out the Sawzall [emoji631]

    Thanks for the much needed thread and pics, John Lee! There were a couple of full custom Carson-lidded Phaetons running around my hometown of Santa Clara around '51-'54. One was a '39, the other was a '41-'48, (sedan with convert windshield...the owner told us 12-year-olds all about it!)
    My tub's a 'T'. My '47 Fordor almost became a tub, but my bud with the '47 Convertible cowl/windshield sold it to a Big Buck convertible guy...
    One tub's better than none...no use gettin' in 'over your head'! (pun intended)

  11. Scott Guildners VW Tub behind my 39 Ford tub, we lived at the same place and built similar cars at Tab and Scotts shop, around 1985.
