Customs Trying to Find an Old Build Thread

It was a 52 or 53 ford I think. Guy cut the top off, moved the firewall/windshield back a foot or more and made a kind of "early" thunderbird/roadster. I know it used a corvair drivetrain and the whole thing looked like a pedal car.

Probably 10 years or so ago. Anyone remember this car? got a link?

 

I saw the car you are talking about at Back to the Fifties maybe ten years ago. Pretty sure it was painted silver. All the doors were welded shut. Like you said, it looked like a giant pedal car.

 

I remember that car at BTT50's and the right up here. It was 2018

 

Is just for display? No hood gap so no engine?

 

Corvair, so it would be out back.

 

you didn't pay attention Johnny! Corvair drivetrain

 

It was a running driving car, engine in the back. IIRC the guy that built it lived in St Paul or Minneapolis.
