What not to do to a '50 FORD

[straykatkustoms]

This weekend I was lucky enough to find "The Worlds Ugliest 50 Ford" I was told that the guy spent over $7,000 in body work. Its kinda like a bad song that you can't get out of your brain. I keep seeing it over and over.....

Enjoy the pics!!

Happy Trails,

Mick

Eww. Pull the front clip immediately if not sooner.

[Elrod]

WHY?!?!

[straykatkustoms]

Thats the one. I forgot to show you one of the kustom treatments that realy sets the car off.
Check out the '50 cut outs in the scoops. Can it get any worse?

Happy Trails,

Mick

[BigDdy31]

Now THAT'S funny, HC. Those two deserve each other.

[Fraz]

To replace with stock sheetmetal of course.

Why ya'll gotta make fun of my dream car? I only hope it's got gullwing doors! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I think that place is pretty amazing. I plan on stoping at Bill Daniels' the first time I take the finished roadster down to Joplin. I wonder if he'll remember me at all - the frame under my car was bought from him about two (or three?) years ago. I'm sure it was easy for him to recognise I knew very little but REALLY wanted to build a hot rod so he just let me hang out for quite a while and check out his stuff... gave me a mini tour, showed me a few things he did on his flatty powered roadster...gave me a good deal on that frame and some other parts too. Don't think I had even found the HAMB yet.

Damn, that whole lot is full of some pretty cool cars. Isn't there a late fifties lowered Buick, a nice red shoebox, and is that Nailhead powered '40 Ford truck still there? It's unspoken - on the way to Joplin my wife just reaches over and holds the steering wheel when we pass his place on the curve so I can crane my neck to see it from the highway.

God...That things beautiful...where can I buy it...it's gonna look great in my garage next to the nude poster of Mama Cass Elliot!

[SamIyam]

Somewhere there's a Lincoln driving around with a '50 Ford front end on it. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Sam.

[flatshoebox]

I'm not sure if the t-bird 49 ford or this is worse! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

[Rand Man]

Daniel Motors is located just north of Carthage, Missouri on Hwy 71. He has been in business for many years. He usually has more than one shoebox Ford in stock. I'm hoping he didn't build that one himself. The access road he lives on is the original Hwy 71 two-lane. If you are interested to see what life was like before they built the interstate, take his road on in to Carthage. Try to count the chunks out of the two concrete bridges.

[briggs&strattonChev]

I saw worse (only once!)

At BTT50's last year there was a 49-51 MERC with a later model thunderbird/cougar front and rear end. WOW, it sucked. Thankfully I dont have any pics.

[RocketDaemon]

change decklid and front sheetmetal

[hotrod54chevy]

i'd change the front end and the tail lights..the decklid doesnt look too bad,i think...
creepy

[tinyelvis]

Hank.. that's one of your best yet.. BUHAHAHA.. damn dude.. can you make the front of that car sag on the ground w/no suspension travel like every one of those lincolns I have ever seen?

HAHAHA

That poor Ford..

[SPEEDBARRONS]

all you people are stupid, that thing is "hot", it took the monster garage only seven days to build that one.

[Oilcan Harry]

It's ugly!! Still salvagable though. I'd be more interested in the chopped 53-55 pickup parked next to it.

[HOTRODPRIMER]

Over used saying of mine,,,,but that thing is "FUGLEY" HRP

[ray]

damn, in fifty years, somebody is going to have a thriving business reuniting shoebox ford front and rear clips to the rest of their original bodies, as well as restoring 90's t-birds and lincolns!

i guess somebody thought this was the logical alternative to the "bird in a box" fad.

Yes, if they stuck blue neon behind it!!

[pigpen]

What do you think happened to those poor people in the Lincoln when it got rear-ended by the "50 Ford? Bloody mess I suspect. Looks like it's parked in the right place though, a junkyard!

[REVEREND JAKE]

Aside from that gangsta mod, THAT PLACE IS AMAZING!!! I bought a 36 ford roadster emblem that Myers and I had to practically fight over. It's pretty bitchin! I got it for TEN BUCKS!!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif I have to go to Springfield this weekend for a wedding so I'll be stopping by on the way back home.

It turns something but I think it's my stomach. Good thing for this guy we live in a free country or the bad taste Nazis would have shot him by now.

[straykatkustoms]

Rev Great find!! Sorry Jake, I photo shop'd out the slober. I'm going back next weekend after the Carthage show. I'm still thinking about making a firewall, or a grill insert out of the ironing board.

Happy Trails,

Mick

[REVEREND JAKE]

That's a good pic of the ironing board too! Now you can start drawing up a concept of what the hell to do with it! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

I'm so glad you got a pic of me and my "new" emblem, I think I'll print it and mail it to Myers as a Christmas card. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Reverend Jake

[bootie]

i'm sure that'll be parked next to the chopped A with a sign that says built by mullet man

[bigfive]

wow thats worse than the one i saw the other day where a guy tryed to turn a 50 into a ranchero. p.u.

[REVEREND JAKE]

Actually, bigfive, he has one of those too! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif They drive it. It's maroon with gold scallops.

Here is a picture from the Stray Kat 500. This would change the topic "What you could do to a 49 Ford."
