No Aussies call 49-50,s single spinners and 51,s twin-spinners.

 

Here is my club coupe.Two pictues with the hubcaps, two without. I can't decide which I like better. Maybe I'll run each side different for a while. Elmo

 

^^Great looking coupe. WITH hubcaps gets my vote, although I prefer '49 or '60 dog dishes to the ones you have.

 

What's the size, brand, source for wheels and tires? Lookum mighty good on spinner! Very "where were you in '62".

 

I got the entire package from Darrin Evans at Coker Tire. As far as I am concerned, he is the best guy around to help with tires and wheels. I used my Alliance discount, and it was well worth it. Fronts are 750 x 14 on Chrome OE style 14 x 5 wheels. Rears are 760 x 15 on 15 x 6 Chrome OE wheels. I bought it all from Coker but the wheels are Wheel Vintiques. Darrins email is [email protected]. He is extension 258. Thanks for the complement. Now on to suspension issues....... Elmo

 

Oh and the caps are 57 dogdish off my wifes 59 wagon that we put 5 spokes on.

 

here is mine

 

Top ten hotrods and customs in langley b.c. Canada held a 2 day
workshop with gene winfield. We chopped a 1951 ford coupe. This is a 5 inch chop and will be a hard top.

 

HERE IS MY CHOPPED SHOEBOX. www.toptenhotrodsandcustoms.com

 

My 50 Shoebox,
My lil Cousin Inside my car checking it out.

 

Does a 53 ford count? I have one thats been sat aside for my oldest girl,I'm trying to talk her into letting me chop the top on it. I've had my eyes on a very sweet 51 deluxe 2 door Hard top, an old guy up the road has it and won't turn it loose, but he's about gone and his wife said to look her up when he croaks.

 

I ended up with Groucho's Gasser and Stumpy's (Bad Bob's son) Gold Diggin Wench.

 

Here's mine
Charlie

 

Here is my 49, still running a flathead, slightly warmed up

 

Here's mine.

 

This is a good thread to see what kinda chop looks right on a shoebox... and how not to chop one!

 

both are called shoebox,s the 55 chevy,s and 49-51 fords anyone that thinks either are gay is just dumb and i think this thead is about 49-51 sheobox,s which are one of the coolest looking early 50,s car just my 2 cents now let,s get back to some cool looking ford,s

 

This is my pops '49

 

Mine is finally on the road..........kinda.

 

kaiser bumper guard??? what is it and exact year? does anybody have one Fosale?by the way great job on the car!

 

1952 kaiser manhattan and 1953 kaiser dragon . There is a big difference
from front to rear also. Also different bullet sizes. Here is my 50 ford one reshaped to fit the 51 ford bumper. www.toptenhotrodsandcustoms.com

 

I'm sure you think 52-54 fords are shoe boxes and don't forget the 49 Plymouth shoe box. and what ever else your little mind sees as a shoe box. oh yea tell us about your slant 6 ford or chevy

 

Some of you might already have seen this on some other website I have no control over, but here's my shoebox after it came back from the shop, a couple months ago.

Huge, monstrous thanks to the folks responsible for all the work. You know who you are, and you guys totally rule.

Should be on the road next year. That's the plan.

 

wow great setup!! yeah wanna run the same thing on my 51'ford bumper ,if ya come across another one please let me know? and thanks for the info

 

Love the taillights! What are they?

 

Tailites are 49 buick.

 

Nice also like the rear bumper.

 

I knew that! They fit better on your car than they did on the Buick!
