49 Ford Custom
Chop in progress
350/350 Swap
Looking for a 289 to replace the 350

 

Thanks! This is the only other one I've ever seen. It belongs to some guy in Canada, and he claims it's real. I don't think so.

I just noticed that it has external trunk hinges (which a '51 like mine doesn't). It might be a '50 convert with a Vic hardtop grafted on.

 

Does it need to be nice?

 

I want in

christ, you'd think I could figure this out by now. Let me try again

 

Wow. Nice car.

 

Heres mine

 

I got a 1950 2dr coupe. Bought it last year. So far I have disassembled and start repairing the rust and collecting parts for my flathead. Im in college with lack of lots of funds. So when ever i have money i get some parts.

 

O.K. , I'm in .It's an old photo. It sits lower now . Currently the floors are out and it's only a few months away from a fresh haircut .

 

Man O Man!!! How could you not like a car that looks as good as these?
Just beautiful!!

 

Can't get the pic re-sized of my red and white 51 Vicky with Chevy power.

I used to have a shoe box contest at a run in Oregon. You simply took a shoebox and made it look like a car. Mine used a false nose from an old pair of gag glasses on one end and the other end I used popsicle sticks and made a small deck so I had a nosed and decked shoebox.

 

Here's mine.

 

I got a pair!!!!

 

flathead4d are those skirts steel or glass?

 

i'm in

 

I'm in! This job has been to Elmer MO since this picture, so the top's 3-4 in lower.

 

Do I get a membership card? T-shirt? Dash plaque?........ Anyone??

 

Count me in. Post some pics when I get chance, car torn down for paint.

 

im in.. thanks to 34toddster.

 

They are steel. I bought them in 1955 from a friend for $20 after his 50 got totaled. One of the smarter thing I did in life. LOL

 

Here's mine:
50 Crestliner. 402 BB Chev/700R4

 

Here's my 51, ain't she cool?

My love affair with the Shoebox Fords began when I was 15. The 1at pic is me at 16 (50 pounds and 48 years ago) with 10 trophies I won the summer of 61 in the ols Stock F Class. Ran bout 18.5 and 65 MPH. Lost that car due to marriage and babys. Got another in 1965. Still have. One pic here in 74. Let it go to seed. Then in my second childhood. Started aproject with it. Has Chevy 350 & trans. Just got it running. Needs paint. Hated to go modern but this ol coupe had the old 6...and I just wanted too. Need to paint and will post more later maybe

My love affair with the shoebox began 48 years ago when I was 15.
The first pic is Summer of 61 when I won 13 trophies in ny 50 coupe.
Stock F, best 18.5 sec @ 65 mph. Really movin! The opter pics are another car I have owned sine 65. Restores in the 70s--went to seed.
Now have new 350 chev & trans. Just got it running. Old engine was 6. Just wanted to try this ---cause never could have a real streed rod in my first childhood. New build runs great. Need to pain and pretty it some.
