My 29 Barn find Sixties Show Rod to this lovely Street Rod... what would you expect back in the Seventies!!!! Hahaha...

 

Nothin to dramatic but I put a lot of work into these.

 

Sweet! I really like the actual before and after pics that show the car done.

 

JUST FINISHED. Time to sale it and do it all over again.

 

Here are a couple, my 27 and my Anglia when I bought them and as driven.

 

lmao!!! hahahaha!!!

 

This model A ended up being the Hot Rod on the far end... the modelT was finished down in Illinois using the chassis and drivetrain from my other Model A

 

My 33 Fordor Deluxe was a victim of a Markleeville,Calif. City Cleanup Program sometime in the 1950's,they'd haul off all the derelict cars, use a bulldozer and push them into Ravines,mine was Burnt,shot at and finally hauled up outta there in 1981,I found Doors in Canada,fenders at swapmeets.etc.it was ready to assemble as a stocker in 1985 but a California Divorce put the project on hold until my kids finished school and moved out .between times I had been dreaming of building what I thought would be the ultimate Fordor,in 1999 I made the cuts and worked on it nights and weekends finished in 2004.it is sitting on a New Chassis with Mustang Suspension,a Low Mileage Rolled over/Totalled 92 Mustang GT Convertible was dissected and almost everything used in the Build- Fuel Inj. 5.0 with A.O.D. Trans and 411 Gear.interior is Leather and woodgrain,did all work myself except the Sewing.not many realize it is anything but just another Hotrod Ford but it is special to me.

Did you buy this from a guy in Wisconsin? Goes by the name "ruttencutter" on the HAMB...

 

NO I Got It From Riersons over in Cranfills Gap Texas. Once belonged to ED in the chupacabras.

 

This thread has become very inspiring. Its amazing what some people do with cars.

 

Amazing similarities in the old paint scheme to ruttencutters car... Looks much better now!

 

Thanks, I probably would have just kept driving it but I got T-Boned and decided for a change.

 

Cool background....oh, and nice car!

 

First chop in 2002, wrecked in 2006, chop fixed and new front clip/rockers/quarter panels and more, and how it sits now...should be on the road soon...

 

Just got it done !

 

Shoebox1950 Looks great. That crash was just enough to piss you off and create some more,Huh.

 

Some awesome work by a lot of people here! This thread is older than the purchase of my body, but I'll play along!

Beginning 3/2008, end 10/2010.

 

May 2009 to October, 2011

 

Wow! Changed for the better. I envy your skills..

 

The only car I've built. Whats the definition of 'built' anyway??

 

Not much diff for me!!!! hahaha


Love the 56 Gasser

 

Early 70's,Late 90's,& Mid 2010.

 

Thanks! Yep, the crash back in '06 made me take it off the road and fix all the little things that were buggin me...I just redid the chop this past August. Life/work/school has taken priority these past few years, but I am going to really kick myself in the ass to get her back on the road this summer...your car looks great with the new paint and trim, btw!
