The blue `41 Ford conv. looks like they did when I was a kid, neighbor had one then left the war. I wanted it bad.

 

Ran across this thread discussing the difference s between tail dragger and lead sled. Here is my candidate. Is it a taildragger? Has no bags just air shocks. Is it a lead sled? I did a majority of the bodywork in lead. Whatever it is this is the way I remember the cars from the day. I'm 75 now so I can remember the 50s and 60s. Had this Chevy since 66 and finally got it the way l wanted. Dave Jenkins 57 was an influence. Sorry to hear of his passing.

love my ride lol

 

Hey Von Brush, love the ragtop--I'm sure Dave would be flattered as you did a great job on your car. It would have been really cool to do a feature of your car with Dave's together for a magazine like Kustoms Illustrated. Two of the nicest '57 Chevy customs in the country.
I just read about your car in the Kustom Kemps of America 1980-1992 book. Neat that it was featured in there. E

 

Beautiful! Love to find those skirts for my 56.

Stunning.

 

my 39 ford. chopped and channeled. lowered with blocks and cut coils. rides smooth. drags some. all seems filled and corners rounded. I call her Nadine from the Chuck Berry song.

 

sideswipe, that is one SLICK Ford!
I like the pipe/running board treatment.

 

Heres my taildragger / kid hauler

Beautiful car Sideswipe!!!

 

thanks to all. a kustomizer named Bill Roark started the car years ago and he allowed me to buy it. I had to pass all the tests. ha. he was a great guy. the dash is a cut down 51 ford. my door poppers are the dash crests from a 51 also.

 

Here's my taildragger bought off fellow hammer last year. Replaced rear main, freez plugs and been driving the hell out of it. I love this car.

 

Dang. That's it. Sideswipe wins. Thread over.

 

Draggin' butt..
