Features HAMB Shoebox Club

If those tires have white letters on the inside you can make your own. Do a search here, there are dozens of threads on how do do it.

And post an intro quick before the intro nazis see you!

 

My 50 coupe with the new grille, next to do is firestone diagonals.

 

Where did you find the Cal Custom kit - a friend of mine found one on Ebay a couple years ago.

 

dont want to lose this thread... great stuff!.. here's a current picture on my box.. and what it may become.. I love the tradional look but kind of want to try something fresh, something no one else has done... why not a mid sixties style

 

Well im in then ! cool thread !

 

Jen picked a color. Sprayed the lower apron just for a test. I think she hit the nail on the head. Hot Rod Flatz Midnight Blue. It'll get polished, though.

 

My new engine runs great !!!!

 

Allison,that illustration is AWESOME!!!!!!! I hope you plan to do a build thread, I'd love to see this one go together.

 

Dam that engine is clean

 

Thanks... I would too... got a few things to sort out first, and some financing to figuret. But its a goal with in reach and I really think this car done this way would turn some heads.

 

New poster here. Man...what a great group of cars to help inspire the direction I'm going with my shoebox project!

 

This is about ride height for the mistriss.

 

Very nice, dante. I do like the way she sits! I inherited this project from my father in law. I gave the car to him years back and he started to tear into it. He's got a 3.5" drop in the back, but I'm looking at what he did on the front. He's got some kind of bracket to squeeze the spring, but: one - it only gives it an inch, and two - I don't think it will last. I'm looking to get some dropped uprights, but I'm wondering how that's going to work with his rack and pinion setup that he made.

 

Love it !! What are the suspension specs ??

 

Its bagged. 74 nova front clip. forward facing triangulated 4 link in the back with bags on cantilever bars to the rear.

 

I'm in! heres a shot of the freebie i picked up, after someone started on it and they found the frame cracked.

Hello just wanted to say hello...working on a '49 Mordor...pics soon!

 

I just picked up this '51 about a month ago. Plans are to fix the small rust issues, S10 frame clip, air ride suspension, and enjoy the hell out of it.



How it's sitting now

 

That looks great - what are the specs? Tire size, ride height & how you got there?

 

Not sure on the tire size.

Its bagged. 74 nova front clip. forward facing triangulated 4 link in the back with bags on cantilever bars to the rear.
