Derek's 1950 ford coupe shoebox build and introduction

Damn.. Money shot !!!

 

Ha ha ha na the backs on jack stands there too high ha ha

 

A couple from tonight's efforts

 

Being a bodyman i certainly have an appreciation for a nice straight body with a fresh sand like that. It's going to be hard to take it apart now, Car looks fantastic.

 

Ha h ha na it's strip cleaned using those discs and the fronts all loosely assembled and won't be tightened till I'm ready to gap up for this show but it's a good body

Des - Your spinner looks fuckin slick!! You are doing a kick ass job as usual. I always look forward to seeing new updates from you. It is cool to look back at your whole thread and see how far the car has come in a short period of time. I am starting my chop next week, and your car is an inspiration for me. Thanks homie.
