my on again off again shoebox project

I have been working on my 1950 coupe for a couple years now between other progects and its finally starting to come together . i have done tons of work on the ol girl.. first of all i chopped it about 4 in front and put the back where it looked right. then i thought the panel between the window and the trunk was to long so i cut the whole trunk area loose and moved it foward 5 in which put that trunk panel about the same length as a stock coupe . then used some caddy taillights i had laying around and sunk them in to follow the fender line . and then since i did all that i went ahead and pancaked the trunk and flush fit some skirts .. so what do u guys think so far ???

 

Thats pretty sweet.Cool you stuck with it..

 

That is really nice looking.. BUT you can't tease us with just one pic.. Post up more !!!

 

Looks great!!!

 

More & bigger pics to inspire the rest of us with Shoebox coupes!

 

That rear bumper really flows with the rest of the car. I wish a lot more customs could figure out that a bumpper is also a part of the overall look, not just a tack on.

 

Very nice,,the hard work shows. HRP

 

Those taillights and NOT shaving the wind splits is a fantastic combination! More pics damnit!
