Customs De-Roadsterizing Shainerman's Shoebox

So Shainerman got a great deal on a shoebox, mostly because previous owner tried to chop it and didnt quite succeed. The next flash of brilliance was to just cut off what roof was left and roadster-ize it.

I get the lovely task of putting another sedan roof on it. Owner found a decent roof in St Louis and delivered it today.


this was taken at 9 am,



10 am,



11 am,




2 pm,



and at 5 when I had to take my brat to play practice.




Its not all the way fitted but its within 1/4 of sliding on. Some trimming and cleaning it'll be ready to weld! No chop.

 

looking good man, saving another one...

 

hell yeah!!! Looking good so far. You are indeed a man with a plan and I like it

 

that is awesome. i say you leave the roof the way it is and drive it to the old owners house.

 

looks good nice job.

 

That's the best idea that I've heard lately, would love to see the look on his face !!

 

nice, not often you see a roof going back on.

 

nice work

 

chopitchopitchopitchopitchopitchopitchopit!

 

That is kinda kool to see the top go back on rather than cut down. Great job so far.

 

Looks like you are not wasting time by any means. Car is looking awesome, cant wait to see the finished product!

 

Lookin great!! I also think it needs your choppin touch!!!

 

What a difference a day makes!!!!

 

I would love to chop it guys, but finances call for otherwise, haha. And honestly, the extra money needs to go to fix a lot of the other issues the car has. I'll shoot for chopping it next year, maybe this winter, but I just want it back on the road!!!

 

And dont worry, Im gonna drive it to his house when his whole crew is outside BBQing or something along those lines. Cant be too mean though, the guy made me a hell of a deal and built the car in memory of his father.

 

That picture with the roof suspended over the car is cool.

 

nice work jaydoggy!

 

Nice save. I hope all the windows etc. came with.

 

I got MOST of the windows, but they arent in good enough shape for my liking. The back is perfect, the rollups (front and rear) are there, but not perfect and I am in desperate need of a windshield!

 

You should chop it but nice work anywere

 

looks good to me

 

looking better already

 

Backwards nice!

 

nice work!

 

any updates?

 

I'm with Dave^ I'm like a kid awaiting summer vacation in middle school, haha.

 

sorry for the delay, had to go to St Louis this morning.

It doesnt look like much has changed but it has, the roof has been off an on at least 6 times now, I think its ready to weld but I wanna take my car to the shop to check measurements before I weld it on. (it would piss me off a bit to have to cut it back off!)

 

We could just have the original owner cut it off again..j/k

Looks like its going good..

 

damn internet!!! My work has photobucket blocked, I cant see anything. Somebody send me a picture to my email please...
