PIc request Lets see your Shoeboxes

No photos, but, while prowling ebay the other day, I found an accessory grill piece designed to eliminate the bullet on '49-'50's. Never seen one before, its listed under "Cal Custom"

 

Here's mine....Not the best pics tho

 

Are 50's Chevs considered shoeboxes?

 

Work in progress...homemade skirts shown. Followed the tech article here and modified for my ride.

That other shoebox with the green flames was built by Steve Sellers, it was a small block chevy with 6 carbs, it was also fetured in Super Rod a few years ago, but now its in Japan.





i have a full car pic somewhere but i cant find it right now-Seann

 

Seems like nobody but Rocky, 50Fraud and myself like their shoebox with a little hot rod rake.

Here's my 'forever project'...

 

My old Box was raked.

 

Bass, your shoebox is one of my favorites. I dig the rake more myself.

 

The shoebox fender line tapers from front to back like an airplane fuselage. It's tallest right behind the front wheel, and then tapers gradually all the way to the tail.

I think they look nice (and more modern) when they're lowered enough in front to level that tapering fender line.

 

heres mine again.......

still a work in progress though......

 

heres mine as of this past weekend

 

That sure beats the "Time out Kid"

 

heres a few for you,, enjoy..

 

My old shoebox. My buddy that bought it has done a nice job with it.
