Some pics of my crusty old 50 ford

Been slowly workin on my car since i got it thought i would show it off a lil. Tell me what yall think about it and feel free to give me some ideas for it.

 

Got some foxcraft skirts for it this weekend and this is how it looks now

 

Can't go wrong with a 49/51 Ford.. Front chrome bumper looks much better.. Lower it a bit in the front, put some cool full wheel covers on and you're done...

 

Your improvements are spot on. Looks like fun! 8BA in that?
That car needs shiny paint definitely.

 

Yep 8BA in it runs great

 

Neat shoebox. The chrome bumpers look so much better. Who is the pinstriper? Give him some props.

 

The pinstriper is my buddy my car is the 4th one hes striped he also is a tattoo artist

 

Nice to see an 8ba in that!

 

So it was a blueish green at first?

 

Nope it is black that one pic looks kinda green for some reason

 

Sweet!!

 

Car looks good. Maybe wider wites and full discs on the front, I like the rear bumper treatment. What's that off of.

 

I plan on some wide whites in the future. im running 54-55 olds caps on it now. The back bumper has a 49 chevy front licence plate guard on it. I plan on smoothing out the trunklid and moving plate to the bumper.

 

Like the full disc Olds hub caps.

 

we all should be so lucky to find one that nice. was gonna ask about your thoughts on the ribbed skirts (i'm not crazy about them, but that's what came on my 50) but i see you did the right thing!

 

Cool car cant go wrong with a Ford!

 

That's a great looking car, I'm envious of your shoebox. I like it even better with the Foxcraft skirts. Visually those skirts make the back look even lower, which is a plus.
Have you got some duals and Smitty's on there? That flathead must sound good.

 

Dont have duels on it yet but its on my list of stuff to do

 

The ribbed skirts were ok but they were repop ones and they fit like crap. Been lookin for some good foxcrafts since i got the car. I think they are alot cleaner looking and fit so much better

 

Anybody have some good ideas for a color to paint it? Im thinking some kind of maroon or dark purple but i aint sold on anything yet. Would like to hear yalls ideas. Got alot more to do before its ready to paint. Would like to make some kind of plan tho

 

Paint is a total personal thing. Your car, what ever floats your boat. It will come to you.

 

I agree paint is a personal thing but never hurts to hear others ideas. Wanting for the car to look like a mid 50s mild custom like to have shiney paint but everytime i picture it in my head its still faded wore out black

 

Black...Just look at the picture when it is wet in your first post. Never will be trendy or dated, plus if you ever wanted to flame it you'd have the perfect base.

 

I'm a restromod type rodder so I say look at the stock paint chart, you might see the light.

 

I do like black and the paint chart idea is a good one

 

VERY N I C E

 

Looks good man,good to see another flathead!

 

Dave, that is looking great! Perfect ride for a trip to CJ's Burger Boy or a ride up Mt. Nebo!

There is a new Dodge Challenger color called Blackberry Pearl. I saw a Challenger with that color, thought it was black until I got right up to it, very deep purple

 

I dont see a crusty shoebox in this thread,but i see one in a good shape and with a lot of potential!
