Features HAMB Shoebox Club

Thought we would throw this one in, still has some finishing to do but it's getting closer.............

 

That sits perfect!!

 

Nice shoeboxes! I've decided to thin my shoebox hurd, i have this super-straight 49 tudor project
and this 49 covertible project-has top irons and convertible back seat no doors or front seat-comes with front fenders and inner fenders. both have titles-would love to make someone a package deal!

 

lowered 2 1/2" in front, 3" in rear

 

I am in
Bad Bobs old car

 

Mine took a left hook from hurricane Sandy, that bitch!

 

dang that thing is lookin cleaner than ever

ugh! i could cry seeing things like that. tree hit it? sorry to hear man. hoping things get better over there in the east for you soon

 

Great stance! What did you do to get it?

 

my wife and the ford.

 

very nice!

 

Now that is a gorgeous ride

 

zach the rides looks killer,and i love the detailed flathead in gold.

 

that's one clean coupe!

 

My father built this 392 HEMI powered '49 Ford in Wisconsin back in the 80s. Anybody know of its whereabouts today?

 

i can finally join in

 

I almost forgot my old 50 sedan...was heavily chopped by a guy here in town and I only owned it for a few weeks...sold it off to finance my next project.
Had a fatman front clip, must.II steering and a SBC with 350 turbo...all new stuff.
Now is black with green seaweed flames and owned by a guy named Scott in sunny California.

 

This is my first post on the HAMB; on my way to an Introduction, but here's my 10 year '50 Ford project.

 

i got a shoebox choped and chaneled 8 in 1951 just sent it to the upholstery garage for sum updating to old to understand URL photos
got some pics in my top album in my profile if some one will post i can e mail them to you my e mail; is mrmuffler@loretel.net

 

Hi folks , she's mine and I love her <3<3<3

 

Nice !

 

Don't know how I missed your post ... sorry to see your car all busted-up .

 

Yes sir that is a sweetheart.

 

Just picked up this 51 off of Craigslist this morning, completely original except steering wheel and floor shifter. Flathead V8 was rebuilt in 1989 only about 1000 miles since it went into storage in 1991. Haven’t found any real rust yet.

 

Great score Jeff....I envy you.

 

Unfortunately I guess I am out of the club for now. I have had to sell my 51 Vert to finance my next build and hopefully some towards a new shop. On the bright side it went to another HAMB'er and good guy.

 

thanks. this car sat higher than any 50 I have ever seen. I used Aerostar front coil springs and a 3" lowering kit from Autozone. It still sits higher than I like but I will keep working on it.

I bought a scarebird disc brake conversion kit but that was a mistake! The calipers hit the steering arms and will not go on. The guys who buy the tci kit are happy with their disc brakes

 

anyone here in this thread who owns a shoe have information on putting air bags on a shoe box, im looking for what size bags fit in the spring pocket up front thanks.

 

after ditching one shoe box coupe project since it was way too far gone, I drove not north Kansas from Texas to purchase this coupe from a Hamb'r for my father. So if you need a frame or replacement sheetmetal let me know.

The previous project I had clipped and Z'd the frame but decided on this one to just leave well alone and do a engine swamp only so that my pops will have a cruiser instead of a never ending project..

Also found this pink shoebox dash filled with SW gauges at the swap meet. I would guess that the dash was done in the mid 80's, purchased for 40 bucks.. fix a couple of the cracks from being molded and repaint it

 

wanna jion this elite club? then buy my shoebox project out of the classifieds PUUULLLEEASE

 

or Buy Mine
