    Even being a diehard Ford fan this one is pretty interesting :)

    Dave Peter's Shoebox is really a beautiful custom by the Valley Custom Shop. Here is a LINK to an article I did on this car.

    Very nice article, Rik.
    One detail that was not mentioned was the lack of external trunk hinges (...a rather complicated mod, given that the build pre-dates the use of the hidden hinges Ford introduced on Shoeboxes in '51).

  11. This thing showed up at a show locally here a few years ago. I believe the guy was out of Lumsden Sask. Beautiful car. I walked away rather 'stiffly' after giving it the double going-over..

    This is Fabulous! It's not too often that a custom shows real talent to design, good taste and sense of automotive history and culture in a same package. Here it does.
    I'd really like to see more photos of this one and learn the background & build history as well.

    This purple Chevy really has a cool look to it, I like it. And those horrible side mirrors would swap off real easy, no harm done.

  27. Really nice car but those molded in bubble skirts are awful IMO.
