Sweet ride - and the car is nice too! What color is going in the lines?

 

Wow.. Beautiful curves !!!

 

My shoebox club coupe..installed a 226, replacing the seized 239..

 

The Imperial caps are neat. I don't think I've ever seen them used on a custom before.

 

I'd like to join in.

(sorry, couldnt help it !)

 

thank you, that girl is incredible and has better curves as my box ...
man can find her on Facebook Fräulein Lola ;-)
The box gets this winter a top chop and a new flat white color with green flakes on the roof ...

 

freakin awesome. we need more of these thunder road-esque pictures round here!

 

I agree, very ol skool cool !
The car is really sharp Dan.
Looking forward to seeing it with those proposed mods.

 

MAN there's a bunch of talented folks AND astonishing cars in this thread. I love it.

The guys are starting Emma Jean's NEW shop/garage tomorrow so I'm thinking 'why not just start from the beginning'.

She's goin' up on stands so I can;
Body off - easier to repair and paint the frame
dash out - whole car needs re-wired.
interior RE-upholstered
Brakes need attention
Clutch / P'plate and throw-out bearing
SOOooo
Engine is coming out - adjust valve lash on the Mercury flathead.
Some
Sand and otherwise "re-do" engine bay too. I'm thinkin' WHITE this time.

Anyway, maybe I should start a "build thread"?

 

Yes please do. Would love to see lots of progress pics

 

Love them shoeboxes! Here's a few pictures of mine, though progress has been slow. Bought it as a barn find with a seized motor, was in storage since 73. I rebuilt the flatty and recently dropped it back in. Finally got it running, just need to work on the brake system now.

 

nice job, thanks for keeping the flathead!

 

IM FINALLY IN!!!!!

1950 4 door shoebox with flat head v8. Runs great! Paid $3100 Plus a 16 hour round trip to nowhere to get it!

 

Damn, you stole that thing!

 

pssh, that sounds like a great deal. congratulations. i slept in the back seat of mine the night i bought it

 

Thanks! I actually thought about that hahaha....Glad to know I'm normal! Or we are both weird

 

Just keep it out of the shop that did tour truck... Twice!

Clean 4 door !!

 

This question may have been asked but the 'search' shows nothing--Did you have to grind away on the calipers to get the scarbird disc brake adapter to fit? I wondered if my steering arm was bent but I had to grind even more on the other side. It looks like the disc brake kit should have been designed to mount the caliper higher. Theres lots of room up there.

Nice I like this
