my shoebox pics with flathead like i promised

here are the photos of the flathead that i said i would post tell me what you think.

 

some more photos,the lighted ford horn button was my friends idea,the back light you see under the dash is a small globe that lights the airbag gauges when the headlights are on.The engine has offy heads,offy regular dual manifold 2 holley 94s,hand made aluminum radiator,electric fan and stainless fuel lines.

 

WOW!! That thing looks real good!! I have a '51 club coupe that is to original to screw with, but I can really relate to wha you have done.

 

Nice car!Horn button light thats new.

 

Spot on Amigo!! Really tasty touches on this baby!! Love everything you have done, Congrats!! on a super cool ride. ~Sololobo~

jeez-louiezee! Looka' that car...

 

thanks guys.much appreciated.The horn button,was something i thought about,because i used to own a 55 pontiac that had the lucite hood indian that lit up and i loved it.I like the orange type glow you can get on older cars so i did it.The paint is called lazer red,but i darkened it and added some micro flake,most of it was done at candys paint in san diego.They do alot of low riders, so they know there stuff.

 

Perfect man!

 

absolutely perfect, beautiful, i going home right now and starting on my 50 , you hit the stance perfect. I've got 3 inch block in the back and a new set of springs (ford areostar) for the front. Did you do spindles? Honestly it is one of the best i've seen.

 

Flathead TOO!!!
that shoebox has just become my best shoebox ever.
Cool as hell! Great build and good taste!

 

My god that thing is beautiful.

 

hey yblock292,the front has fatman dropped uprights and fatman dropped steering arms with shocks.The stance ,wheel and tire combo i think are crucial when you have an unchopped car ,so i worked hard at getting that part right.It sits on firestone bags all round.

 

Real frickin nice. Ill take it.

 

mlisnich if you have a 36 ford 3 window coupe in black i will trade no problems! It will be a mooneyes and the suede palace in pomona at the GNRS so come say hi

 

Love the color!!

 

Beautifully done.
A picture of your car and Steve's green shoebox would make a nice Christmas in San Diego Card! (LOL)

 

absolutely beautful man! nice jarb!

 

hey destructo,thanks for the comments .Wasnt that the shoebox the guy from the deacons owned?the guy who does interiors? i have seen it at fosters on a thursday night.way cool car ,real clean.

 

Yah, used to belong to Roger. Steve bought it and had the interior done in white T&R.

 

so he had the interior redone after he got it from roger,who is apparently the master of interiors,what was wrong with it? was it just styling choice? I know roger is expensive thats why our club goes to TJ for interiors

 

Man that shoebox is fine...awesome ride!

 

Sweet!

 

Seriously...what's not to like?

The color is what gets me, annd the engine looks awesome!
