hey thats a sweet 5o got any other piucs maybe a side profile ..who chopped it?

 

thanks I have owned it 7years know it was just a rusty shell when I got it but was already chopped. A friend said he had it chopped years ago in California. Then he brought it florida to die, took me a while to finally accuire it and have been trying to make a real car out of it ever since.
thanks again

Very Cool Car RussB.......

Here's a pic of my buckets tuck and roll..

 

cool thanks for sharing, I like your extra glove box idea russB

 

heres the inside of my 53
was done in the early 60s when a cat fucked up the original interior.

 

Did you make the knobs ? I like the matching laminated bezel , makes me want to make a set.

 

Here´s my El Camino with my idea of tuck´n´roll.
(Sorry that the car is too new for this site)

 

Nice seats you guys have,but does anyone have any seat ideas for shoebox?
i need to get a front bench seat,but they are rare in here and i guess there is no point to ship project seat from states to Finland.So,any suggestions?

 

Does it have to be from a shoebox?
Just get any suitable front bench and modify it so that it fits...
It´s still just a metal frame and upholstery.

 

No it doesnt have to be,just wondering what to look for.Shoeboxes are narrower cars than most same era cars.I dont mean that it have to be from 50's,but sixties or something...

 

yes, and the door locks, too


just turned them in a small wood lathe.
full interior rebuild link is

the link has some shots on making the bezels

 

sorry these pics aint of a shoe box but i hope you might get some cool ideas these are of my 60 chevy conv if you have a good upolsterer the possibilities are endless

 

Okay so these are my first seats so overlook the imperfections, but the white one is from a 53 chevy and the black ones are from a 64 caddy

 

Please keep the pics coming, great ideas

 

any more?

 

I gotta know, where did you get those knobs????? Super cool!!!


***EDITED TO ADD***
NEvermind, I saw the link where you made them. Nice work!!!

 

Rats photo didn't load..........

 

Take a look at the seat from a '57 - '58 Ford two door. It is slimmer and lower than the stock shoebox front seat. It opens up the interior, allows a lower seating position and still looks "period correct". I don't know about the width, but I've seen this swap before so I'd guess it's doable without major mods.

 

Thanks for the information!
