Projects My First Custom - Shoebox Project

nice weld job

 

Pick up a copy of Rod & Custom April issue. Turn to page 16-17, and check out the cool 49-50 Ford Concept car. Good luck on your build.

 

I narrowed the shoebox core support and fit between the framerails.

I also made new front body mounts, and bumper mounts

 

After four months of work, I needed some motivation, so I threw the wheels on to see how it looked.

Finally, this thing is starting to look like something.

 

how the hell did i miss this thread???? wow its looking good! keep it up!

 

It sits nice

 

Wow! Great job so far.

 

here is my '51 with S10 clip/ not Z'd- with stock springs and 2" dropped spindles-no drive train installed-205/75/15 set up with reversed 6" black rims-roller red rims/donut type spare tires/ gives that drag look (Ha!)-4" blocks in rear-a few hundred pounds of engine/trans will drop it down plenty-just to give a visual-have most everything to bag front, but do that some other time maybe

 

Hell yeah!

That's gunna be sweet!

Keep us posted.

Rich

 

I put a front fender on, and the cad caps, just to check things out.
