    At the begining the cars is a 4 doors, i have find 2 doors from a sedan on Ebay and started the work.
    after get 4 doors to 2 doors i have made a little topchop 2.5" on he front and approximately 3" on the rear, the car is bagged whit a airride kit from ridetech, the interiors come from EZBOY http://www.rodinteriors.com/.

  5. This is inspiration! I just picked up a '49 shoebox 2 door. Needs tires. It has 15" rims and we want to go WIDE WHITES! What size rims and tires have you got on that?
    I like the look...
    Thanks....

    Very nice. Absolutely love the color. If you told me the color without seeing it I would have wondered "why?". But it really fits the car. Love the chop too, very suttle but still noticable. Good job and thanks for sharing.
