yblock292 Builds a '51 Ford Kustom!

Hey Tony, stop by anytime....

 

Love the top, this car is shaping up very nice. Dig the bros helpin out when the muscle is needed. Will we see this car in Salina? ~sololobo~

 

would love to make salina, but that might be a little tight!

 

Salina?? You are retired, you have time to get it ready for this years Stray Kat 500...

 

RETIRED?, then how come i don't get any time off?Is going back to chris in a week or so.You found me any wheel covers yet?

 

No, I hadn't had time yet.. but stay tune.

 

Hurry tomorrows christmas!

 

Lookin' good Jack. Top is awesome but I really like the tail light/windsplit treatment. Plannin' on being down for the chill, see ya then.

 

Thanks, happy christmas to you guys! 51 is a real fun build, Hub and Chris have just done a remarkable job on her. Meeting with Jeb and chris next week to plan out the interior. Get the new 302 next couple of weeks, can't wait!Hope all is good with you all!

 

Nice Plymouth, Jack. Hope y'all have a decent 318 to put in it; then you'll be KRUISIN' KOOL...

 

Yea, your overland coupe looks good too!

 

Ya you can have mine Jack went a diff. route. The 24s are yours.lol Hey do you have a frame jig? Im workin on a new project 2

 

Yes i do wanna use it, its on casters so you can roll it around.

 

Thanks for the thread Brian! Jack the car is looking bitchin' can't wait to see it rolling down the road. Since you asked on the phone, I like the skirts but the upward curve in the bottom edge of the skirt doesn't work for me, if you could reshape that bottom opening I would steal them for when I finally build a box someday. It's looking damn good, Hub is the man and nailed the chop. This build is what Kustoms in Wichita is all about, good friends, a cool car and tons of good times!

 

Hey KROBE, I heard he was puttin' a Chrysler Spitfire flathead 6 in it. Just so he can keep it traditional.
Later,
Dick
Lookin' good Jack, you guys are hitting a home run.

 

Ill call ya Jack. maybe ill just drag the frame down your way and have you help me with it. Ive got a free 39 chevy truck cab. A 36 frame. Want to build a little bobber truck.

 

Give me a call, got a hell of a deal for ya.

 

Will get more pics this weekend.

 

Nice post, the world needs more kustoms !!

 

Thanks Jeff..........Happy new years to all you guys!

 

Theres never enought chopped shoeboxes,keep it coming!

 

Thank you very much, this will be a real fun build. Kool from Finland, got a pair of shoes, my 50 running a 265 chevy with stock drivetrain and then the kustom 51. Have always loved shoebox fords. My dad had a honduras maroon 50 in 56 and i remember standing up in the front seat with him driving back then,I was about 6 years old, maybe thats what started this deal with me and shoeboxes. Happy new year to all you guys and thanks for the post.
Jack

 

Jack, first off. Happy holidays to all of your bunch. Second, how about you turn your 302 into a 342 stroker? CHP sells Scat kits that will make a huge difference in low end power. Mr. Harness was parked next to me at Salina. I'm was impressed in watching him. A good guy for sure.

 

By request, here are a few shots of the motor mounts.







Trunk area with shelf for suspension stuff.





Wheel Covers!

Kool thanks Brian, Happy new year!

 

I have a 55' 265 SBC too in my 51'.I know that brand freaks doesnt like mixing different brand motors for different brand bodies,but i think thats what hot rodding is all about.I have a 8ba flathead with a stock bore in my stash,but my plan is to save it for other projects.
Well,there lives a little puritan in me too,i wouldnt never put an evo motor for my shovelhead
And Happy new year!

 

Glad your not running whitewalls, hubcaps with black walls are kool...

 

Yeah man, Happy New Year!

 

Looks like this joint I was at earlier today, Kat had a real kool 29 Roadster that I shot some video of, after I awaken from my stupor in the morning I'll try to put all of the pieces together.

 

Those aren't the real tires just rollers. Happy new year to the entire StrayKat Family!
