My '49 Ford business Coupe [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Its such a lost art! I hardly ever see scoops on customs nowadays.
I bought a pair of glass 7" round headlights off of Ebay for $35 just a few days ago. If you plan on getting some decent ones, please make sure:...
Lookin' good!
I'm a new guy but I really do enjoy coming on here and seeing how builds are coming along and reading the history of some of our rides. I'm sure...
Ahhhh nice. Glad I could help!
Here is a picture of my hood hinge on my '49. Not sure if this helps.[ATTACH]
I have the same problem with mine...I just thought that the hinge assembly had been bent then corrected at some point, making fitment sketchy at...
^^ Thanks for the great tips! I read the whole thing. There was no factory clock that came with the car so its just a blank steel plate where the...
Well, my 'dip guy' (Ok, that just sounds wrong) took the skirts off to spray and let them dry for a few days before re-attachment. He says they...
Spraying on primer is no problem especially if it has been sanded beforehand (I did a 320 grit once over). Here it is in the sun. :)[ATTACH]
The suspension is stock Mr48chev! It actually rides quite nicely but the lake pipes do prevent me from going over larger bumps and driveways. It...
Thanks for the compliments guys! My guy used plastidip in dark cherry with pearl. It's just called 'dark cherry'. I got it in satin because...
Here's an update! I went to look at my car today which was 'painted' this week by a friend of mine. he also did a little bit of door aligning,...
So far so good! I already bought mine 'custom' but I'm in the same boat as you - looking for some parts to make the car safe, reliable and, well,...
[ATTACH] I'll chime in here! Although I do understand that the OP was just wanting to see something unique and different than your average bolt-on...
Looking great so far! Great metal work!
Haha...thanks A! Yeah it looked blue because of the lighting. It's 100% black and looks great IMO. That with the black wheels with dark...
I realized that I put the choke back in a little soon so it may have been labouring a bit at idle. Once its warm though, she runs quite nicely.
Here's a brief walkaround I did last night. [MEDIA]
Before y'all tar and feather me....yes, it's plastidip. I plan on giving the car a full real paint job after I chop the roof and shave the handles...
Dark Cherry in satin. Colour may change by next year. :) At first I was all over bagging it because it rode so low. I would love to be able to...
Woah I love it! You the man, Moose! Thanks for doing that. I love the red the best although I think my dark cherry will be a bit darker. Either...

So here it is...my 1949 Business Coupe that I bought off of J. Beale from Beale Kustoms. Local history with me being the third owner. This was the...
Different last name thank God! He has a super crazy french accent too. LOL. I zoomed in and it sais: "Yvon Savoie, 1951 Ford" Yeah, no idea...
The white/green combo is super nice and classy but the gold rips your eyes out, puts them in a blender and pops them back in your head (in a good...
Nope. Not a wrap.
I will probably remove the handle the same time as the chop. :)
It's a special top secret....er....secret. It's not what you think and it will be temporary until the chop next year. I may also completely change...
