Customs Show us your Shoebox

The roof is stock '51 Victoria, which is what the car was to begin with. The remainder of the body has been retro-detailed to look like a '50 (before they made the Victoria).

Hi, Russ!

 

Vinny Ansetta's 51..... Now in my Garage

 

Ok.

 

Cool picture. Nice car.

 

when you put in the 350 did you put headers if so whats a good type to avoid the steering box and crossmember?

 

This car shows up in coverages of the Portland roadster show:

I think the car is amazing because (1) nobody builds a serious custom from a shoebox Fordor, (2) hardly anyone uses Buick side trim any more, and (3) nobody EVER did both on the same car! I'd really like to see more of it; anybody else shoot any other angles?

edit: plus -- (4) It appears to be a really good looking car!

 

My old shoebox I sold a couple years ago. Sure made a lot of good memories in that thing

 

my 50 chopped vert

 

in final trim except added www tires since

 

One of my favorites, not mine but great looking, and for those of you who don't speak Spanish - Zapato - is Shoe...
