Projects 1951 ford new roof

They’re never really finished are they.

 

Thumbs up.

 

I also think skirts are ok. Would prefer front bottom of skirt better match top instead of little loop back toward front. Nice ride

 

X2!!

 

Totally agree with you, 19Fordy.

 

What a major improvement. Very Kool!! I like the old Carson style top too but changing the top you sure increased the kool factor. Please keep us updated with your progress.

 

bitchin! i liked the old top, but i'm sure visibility suffered a bunch!

 

Just my 2c, that you didn't ask for, but I'd maybe shorten the skirts down and add some Victoria side chrome (or similar) to help break up the body sides a bit. As much as chrome usually gets deleted, it really does help take visual height out of the body - like a poor mans section job.

 

no skirts no lake pipes no spot lights no yellow mirrors i think it looks a lot better. top will be white all glass will be in including vent windows all stainless for top will be on

 

i like your side chrome idea

 

Wow! That looks great.

 

I really like JamesD's image with the side moldings, looks great! I even like the paintjob that's on it with the trim added and shorter (or no) skirts.

 

Wayyyy better than that 'West-coast-crap look'!
That thang had to be a nightmare to drive with blind spots on BOTH side.
I like it already.

That's who provided the roof!

My thoughts...
No skirts and paint the car,
A deep/jet black....so deep it looks like you can swim in it. There's just something about that old black Lacquer Look.

 

Car looks much better but what amazes me is the skill some guys on the Hamb have, really nice

 

Waaaay better and as an added plus you can change lanes now with out running over a semi pulling doubles.

 

Hambtastic!!

 

That ton of work looks so much better with the new top!!! I like the side chrome, but what if the front fender strip was moved to replaced the door strip. Oh, and no flames.

 

The roof is a huge improvement

 

Any update?

 

Very nice profile the new roof added flow to your cars lines

 

Really an improvement with that roofline.

 

in primer paint this week

 

Looking way way better! I like the look of the skirts that James D has done. Solid color would finish it off. Whatever you decide to do, what you have already done is a vast improvement!

 

i like it more gooder! lol

nice job, looks a lot better then the carson.

 

Yep!

 

SO much better! I like the no skirts look, too. Well done.

 

WOOOOW, I've not seen this car since around 2004. Would you be interested in selling it? Long story short, this used to belong to my dad, bankruptcy forced him to sell it, he passed away in 2016 and I've been trying to find a couple of his old cars. A guy send me a link to this this morning, I laid those flames on that car when I was 14!! Anyway, if you'd be interested in parting with it let me know. I'm new to this page, you can reach me on my cell phone at 865-438-0566.

 

Good choice.
