Good job Titus

I'm jealous of Jennie. And your tucked in shirt.

 

I like it a lot. Keep us posted. Stu

 

Man, that is awesome, I want to section a car looks like a whole new challenge.

 

Love it............Nice holmes!

 

dude, that looks good. you gona have it at fiffties?

 

This is gonna be killer to follow...killer so far

 

looks cool man I did not know you were doing one too man. keep up the good work. did you do marx's axle yet?

 

but yours will be a hell of alot nicer than mine!! i havent had the time to get the low hemi coupe going yet.

i havent even had the time to work on this sectioning job either, but will get back to it.

I have a freind that is in the hospital and isnt doing good so were trying to get his street rod going for him before the worst can happen. if anyone wants to help we could use it, were working on it on sundays all day.

I gotta convince becky to section her 50 coupe. they just look so boss.

 

Wow amazing work. You make it look so damn easy. Looks great cant wait to see it in the end. Makes me wanna get a shoebox haha

 

i did finally get back to it, a little bit, i worked on the passenger door tonight, got the inner sectioned and hammered the bottom edge back over the inner.

heres another small update, me being so board and having nothing else to do i decided to work on the front fender and see how it goes,
went fine, took about an hour, seem like the door gap is good, i have the get the other door finished up, then the other fender in place then fit the hood and make sure its all where it needs to be.

heres some pics, i also lowered it the "traditional way" for now till i can set it up how i really want to.

jeff

 

Just to recap, this is absolutely the only sectioned shoebox I have ever liked. Awesome work, keep up with the pics!

 

Good job ,keep it going.

 

thanks titus for the pics the will help alot with minehow would you section the front fender so that the front bumper dosent come up like that? i want mine to be straight along the bottom would i have to add another piece of fender to the bottom?in the attached pi is what i dont want for the front.

 

great pictures of the project so far , hope for more pics as it progresses

 

heres a pic of what it looks like at the moment

Jeff - Nice Job, Looks GREAT................. I'm trying to keep up the momentum on mine!
I want to take it to KKOA in Salina, KS end of July!!

(Barn Find T........... using his dad's account) ....lol

 

Jeez, you guys still have snow up there?

You need to move down here where it's warm. Haha

 

well, i'm almost three years too late, but what happened with that car ? finished pics ??

 

After sitting unchanged for several years I aquired it and have since finished up the section job and fixed those problems mentioned in the earlier posts... Now its a matter of deciding how to finish it up? I could either continue towards being an early style custom or become a more 60's style custom... at this time tho it is actually for sale, before it takes that next step.. after so much work and interest in this project i thought it good to update the thread and include a recent picture, and will include more as it progresses... and hope any possible future owner will do that same.

this is how the car currently looks



and my concept for how it will look finished




more to come!!!

 

Nice. I did not know you picked this up from Titus. Kool

 

Awesome!

 

sectioned shoebox's are so cool! I'd say go the early style custom route, but thats just me.

 

The concept drawing looks very cool. It displays many elements incorporated in Ron Courtney's X-51, which was built circa 1958, should you decide to go in an earlier style built. (I'm sure you're well aware.) Admittedly, the car was ahead of its time.
