Hot Rods Shoebox 2 door or 4 door.

Looking to do a mild custom. I want a Tudor but I see more 4 doors. Traditionally two doors do better. What you think.

I like the Tudors. I think they built more 2 door cars (shoeboxes) than they did 4 door cars. It shouldn't be that hard to find a Tudor depending on what shape you want it in to begin with.

 

How about this car? A fordor that is chopped and sectioned.

 

Actually the 49-51 Ford 2-door sedans are funny looking, to me at least. Almost like the rear doors of a 4-door were welded shut.

 

Two door but I actually prefer the coupe version.

 

Tudor

 

As soon as the weather cooperates I'll be selling this one. In arkansas

 

Is that a sedan or a coupe?

I prefer the coupes, this is the one I had.

The coupes have a shorter roof and much small quarter window. HRP

 

That is a'50 Sedan. I have a '51 Sedan and prefer them over the coupe due to the extra room in the back seat for "activities'.

 

In that case, "activities" would work best in a Fordor with one door open...for leg room.

 

I’m more of a sedan guy

To me, the faux rear side quarter window makes the tudors look extremely awkward. Given your choice, I would do a Fordor.

However, as has been said before, a coupe is preferable, unless you can find a '51 Victoria which in my opinion, is the best looking "shoebox", bar none.

 

Maybe this will help with your decision. Here's some comparison between 2 and 4 door sedans.



then there's the coupe

 

As customs go I personally think it’s a wash. If doing a fordoor I would definitely make suicide rear doors. You got to be different. Also a Merc grille surround. 4 swivel seats would finish it for me..
