huh?

 

What olds is a shoebox??

 

I was going to send "Dogtag" a polite PM letting him know that this was a Ford shoebox thread and that his car, while well built, did not really fit well with a traditional hot rod forum. However, he does not accept PM's so:

1. This thread is for Ford cars from 1949-1951, only
2. Your car is not at all traditional
3. The giant wheels are ugly
4. No one here is impressed by the following:
LS1, 4L65-E
Mustang ll Clip
Wilwood 13" Drilled and Slotted
Hydraboost Brakes

I'm glad you drive your car and that you enjoy it. That being said, if you are looking for traditional hot rods or customs you are in the right spot. If not, you're in the wrong spot.

 

Also, I'm in! 1951 Crestliner, flatty w/ Edmunds aluminum heads. I know it needs new tires but the radials are almost brand new! Also, it will be lower by next summer.

 

me and luke aka necronomicon on here were working til 3am this morning haha really got stuck into it!
lots of jim beam and coronas consumed!

 

Shoebox Fords,bonehead!!!!!

 

Here are couple of members shoe's from our club.

 

Hey dogtag, How are you? Just wondering if you....nevermind it's not worth it.....i think there is a corvette thread going around....they would love to see your car....you ask wtf?....so do I!!!

 

This is my dream car nice work, frame info please?

 

For you Shoebox guys.

 

Are those LS1 powered 56 Olds? Nevermind...

That pic rocks!

 

You silver leaf maniac! Love that car.

 

Thanks for the friendly heads up. Should have paid attention. I'm in the wrong spot for sure. I'm new to the hobby and didn't know any better. I've removed the post and I
apologize for offending anyone here.

That's not silver-leaf. It's just bare metal with clear over it. Looks great in person...

 

A pic of that car was in R&C a few months back; the caption also stated that it was cleared bare metal- then someone later corrected it to say that it was leafed! Either way its gorgeous!

 

Wow its great to see Andrews finally got the sectioned shoebox on the road, and Big D must have a 100,000 miles on his by now!

 

I saw some build pics somewhere on line...it is silver leaf.

 

I saw it in person at the Mooneyes show... sure looked like bare metal to me... can actually see the sanding marks in the metal... but Im no silver leaf expert either

 

Yeah both of them are driving em down to cobo this year. We got 10 cars going it's going to be a shit show! Andrew drives this piss out of that thing....you should never of moved out of Ontario Angus!

 

Are you guys gonna be in the show downstairs as aclub or just cruisin down for the show?

 

lol! I guess we did a good job huh! it is silver leaf Bob the complete flame job was done in silver leaf with simulated grind marks! its the first time its been done to my knowledge I was told it couldnt be done because the leaf would tear but after hours of trial and error we figured out how to create the effect I was looking for and damn! its been a blast every where I take the car people ask how long did it take to metal finish the whole car and if I masked off the flames and shot the candy blue paint lol! fun car fun build!

 

My 49 Ford Custom Club Coupe. Older restoration, but still pretty nice!

 

Mr. Bomba- absolutely amazing work! I see a "how-to" in the works if you care to share. Hope to see it in person, someday.

 

We'll have a display downstairs. Come for the cruise....it's not that far!
