Features HAMB Shoebox Club

thanks man! coker bias ply.

 

ford did make some with a moving center grill light that moved when you steered the car. i think they made very few? and then added the center plug on the grill. they did have an option for a headlight or i think it was a kit for the head light. but yea that was fords idea originally.

 

Here it is. Finally! Been wanting one of these for twenty years. Had to call it my wife's car to get it, but here it is anyway.

 

calicruiser- what you did to the outside of your ride is a prime example of how you can make a diamond in the rough into a jewel without extreme modifications and expense-kool!!

 

im in heres my 50 more door sedan

 

I'm in but too stupid to post a photo????

 

Ha ha congradulations.

 

Haha...that's how I was able to bring home the 'Bird unannounced too


That '49 has a great look...looks like one old repaint rubbing through to the original paint?

Very cool, indeed...

 

thanks dude!! means a lot to a "new" car guy!

 

Well count me in, bought this last month from a HAMB'r here in NH. It was built a decade ago from a 1950 Crestline. Flathead with OD. This was the car we all wanted when I was in high school in the late 50's in upstate NY. So as I approach my seventh decade, guess I wanted to relive those days.

 

This is a pretty big club. Is there a Ford shoebox nationals somewhere?

 

Yeah, the Early Ford V8 Club National Meet in Concord, NC June 24-26.

 

I dig these Meteors. Canadians always get the cool shit!

 

here's mine. i've had her for about 2 1/2 years. mercury flathead V8, Offy heads, MSD, a pair of Ford 94s, jamco rear suspension,. waiting to put on my Stromberg 97s and a set of Red's headers.

 

Here's some work I did to my box over the weekend, I finally pie-sectioned my hood, I took it up a 1 1/2" up at the center and 2 1/2" at both ends so it would give me a nice downward angle.

 

I also sectioned the rear deck lid, I brought that up 4 inches with a slight 1/2" angle and rounded corners, I will be getting that squared away this weekend and finish welding my front.

 

Nice work , psyco

 

Mine

 

I really dig that blue...what is it or what brand and color name.

 

The color is Kia sport blue with flattened clear.

 

Thanks man the car looks great.

 

Nice to see Ray's car went to a good home! Enjoy it!

 

hallo guys,

i´m from berlin and i still have a mordor since last september. but it will take a lot of time and enthusiasm to get this baby back on the road. i switch the inline 6 to a rover V8 with 5 speed transmission.

 

Welcome!
I like the Rover, cool little engine. Good luck with your project!

 

Holy crap - you're right that it's gonna take some enthusiasm !! Will hopefully make a nice ride someday ...
