Sneak peak at my 47 ford progress...

Progress is slow, but Im at the point where I go to bed with a big smile on my face every night after working on the car. I think I'm in love....

 

I think I'm in love too! Looks great!

Are you going to be going with thew lime green scallops?

 

That Big Smile is well deserved Chad ! It's Lookin Better all the Time, Herb Talked about how Kool it looks all the way Home yesterday !

 

You are doing a fantastic job on this Kustom.It will really have that late 40's early 50's feel to it. I can hardly wait to get back on my 40 Merc.

 

Very nice.........any more pix ?.....side view ?.....I'm trying to figure which way to chop my 41 business coupe.....yours looks very cool.....

 

wo that thing is HUGE, but kick ass none the less!!

great work cant wait to see the car finished.

 

Looks good Chad. Gonna look great in paint.

 

I love it!
what color the scallops gonna be?

 

I'm here to say you have officially hit a custom car home run!

 

It looks fantastic Chad.

Every new update photo post is a joy to look at. Great improvements each time. And its really great to see the an early style Custom Car to be built with so much perfection and sence for details.

 

Looks great Chad! Keep it up.

 

OH MAN!!! I hope the scallops DO NOT make it back on this beautiful body.

 

Looks excellent!!

 

There will be no scallops on the finished car. I had the gold scallops there last summer, it was kinda cool, but the final version of the car will be a late 40's style custom, and scallops just wouldnt be period correct.

The car will be painted maroon, shiny of course.

 

Thank you all for your compliments, they mean so much. I think about this car all day long, and then loose sleep over it at night, its always good to get some third party input to know I'm on the right track.

 

Sweeet!More pics please!

 

killer

 

Nice job Chad! You are on the right track for sure! Can't wait for the finished piece! Bravo and Thanks for sharing!!!

Ken

 

looks great

 

now that's a car i wouldn't normally think about chopping but now seeing it it looks great

 

looks good i want one of those to

 

Thanks,
Here are some side views. The first one is from almost two years ago, just after I got it home from the chop (The chop is the only metalwork/bodywork I did not do myself), its the best side profile shot I have.



And this is current (a week ago), though not as much of a dead on side profile. The rounded door corner still needed some fine tuning on the gap in this shot.

 

The project is looking nice. You deserve to have a smile on your face.

 

I hate those snivelly posts that always just say "nice car" or "Great pix" etc

BUT FUCK




GREAT CAR

NICE PIX

 

Not bad for short door-haha!! Lookin really good as usual Chad. Nice to see a custom get done RIGHT. For those who don't know, Chad REALLY gives a shit about what a custom car should look like, and it shows. Keep up the good work. D.

 

Oh boy, I just found this old pic on my computer. Figured I'd ad it to this thread. It seems like forever ago (3 years now since I first bought the car, in this state).

 

Great progress...i have been following your car for a while.

 

I'd be stoked at the progress you made!!

Looken' good.
