the shoebox gets fins...(yeah,,,for real,,)

looks killer.You have a great vision.

 

I really like the era and style you picked for your car... your nailing the period right on...can't wait to see the finished product!!!

Please keep updating us..

evel

 

Don't you dare chop it!!!!!!

Looking good Jim! Howzabout some '58 Ford taillights to go with the '58 Ford Trim?

 

luke,,,its not getting chopped,,,,,the side profile is great,,,,just cant get far enough away from it inside to get a full profile,,ill have to bring it outside and snap a few pics,,,,im using the other 58 ford trim (fairlaine, i guess it is),,,,those lights arent bad though,,maybe a little big though,,,,,,,,,i was thinking maybe 59 pontiacs would look pretty good too

 

i like your ideas,,,,
the colors sound good too..

still kicking around a few color ideas for mine,,,its a really tough decision for some reasom.

 

Looks good. when i read this as well i thought it was going to be DUMB but it looks like you did a good job and thats what makes it nice.

 

Perfect! A 59 type build if there ever was one. Keep us posted!

 

Fins??? On a 50 shoebox coupe???

Well...never mind that...

1959??? Damn man you are OLD!!! Same as Brian Setzer tho...I was born in '79!!! Go Carter!!

Car looks good Jim!

 

fins look great i like the 59 pontiac tail light

 

Didn't think I would like it, but looks pretty Kool.

 

Can't wait to see it FINished!

 

Right now Bill Hines is smiling..
Looks cool man, nice work

 

It just keeps getting better.

 

That, my friend, will be a real kool hardcore kustom. Keep the build pix updated.

 

When I saw the title, I thought to myself..Oh brother....Saw the pics...and now I'm diggin'it..

 

I dig the whole style of that car.

 

thank you for the feedback guys,,,,when i figure out the taillights, ill do another update,,

 

Jim,
The car does need to be chopped - just a slight chop. You mark it and I'll cut it , okay ??? It would be good practice incase I decide to chop my Hudson. Linda

 

looks good... whats next? a section? a chop?

 

Very nice. Will it be lowered a bit?

 

That looks fucking killer!

 

Funkadelic! I vote for the chop too.

 

Hey, what are you trying to do...build a Vic Collins Customs "clone car"????????
I hear he might SUE YA!

 

Very cool...and very different.

 

Jim if you decide to do a hardtop let me know I haqve some door trim and wingwindows and vents and you know what I mean.
Like the fins get rid of the decklid hinges
FRANK

 

I did mean quarter windows OOOps
FRANK

 

its definitely different. i think a chopped top would bring it together a bit more too. good luck with it.

 

Totally different look than simply a chopped, stock bodied shoebox...NOW you're talking REAL kustom...

Lookin' good...

R-

 

yeah screw choping it, choped coupes look fucked 99% of the time anyways. could go for some radiused rear wheel wells though.

lookin good

 

Well.........I love it.
