The story of my Shoebox

Thanks for the kind words.....you ask what the plans are.
i need to get the interior done in one way or another, maby try to copy
Buster Littons old interior or maby make an interior based on my own designs
ill search for garnish moldings from a 51 victoria but cant find any?
the best would be to have a complete victoria interior.
i also going to install rear armrests from a Victoria

 

Far out! the car is an absolute credit to your skills. Cant believe I've somehow missed this entire thread until today.
Cheers
Andy

that shoebox kicks ass! nicely done, man. this is how kustoms are truly built. by having guts and seriously thinking out of the box. i came across that merc on the net awhile back and did a drawing of how i would finish it, just let me know and i'll show you a pic of it. does it have a build thread? i'd love to see it.

 

Ofcourse i like to se the pics of your drawings!
Thanks/Andreas....

 

Sorry I missed this thread. Beautiful Andreas! Love it!

 

Thanx

well no more satin black

 

The car looks great !

 

Man i can appreciate the time spent. Great looking car. kudos

 

my guess is the shoebox be same color as the orginal custom shoebox you haved copy

 

Ohh! A paint job coming up This is gonna be sweet I bet!

 

Thanks.

Well there´s alot of hours spent on this.....but i rather build kustom then watch tv

We have scaned a really great (secret) picture and i already had the dash
painted in this colour

Now it´s time for paint

 

That chop is right on the money...thanks for the pics, it's TRULY inspirational!

 

Oh, this going to be so good.

 

Well i have promised not to show the photo! sorry.

 

And finally some sanding primer....

 

Looks nice
I hope the paint work will be realy good

Hi Andreas. Looking forward to see this one finished.

 

Awsome job dude ,I'm not a fan of pillar less hard tops on shoebox fords , but this looks great , I think maybe because the rest of the custom work is also right on , keep up the good work brother
