Wanted: chopped 49-51 Ford (car) pictures

I know I'm a dork, but I wanted to see if anybody noticed the woodgrain on the last interior pic. I had a piece of 18 ga. laying around with this woodgrain shit on it, and I left it on to preserve the metal. When I was chopping my Ford, I thought it would be funny to leave the design on it. I know, I have no life...

 

I know, I know... It's a Chevy. My friend Brandon Winters just finished this chop at Jack's Lowrodders in Fountain Valley, CA. To see more of his nifty metalwork, go to www.lowrodders.com. Also, there is a shop profile and pics of a recent open house at www.ruffrodders.com... Enjoy peoples...

 

Brandon is very good at metal finished chopped tops...

 

I finally got around to cutting the door edge gap on the driver side door of my Ford. I bugged the shit outta me evry time I got in the car. Also, I couldn't fill in the shaved door handles because I would blister the filler later with the heat of welding the door edge. I bet I trimmed off about 1/8" of material. Sheeeat!!

 

Here's my '50 Merc mouth I got last year from Johnny Aguilar out of San Diego. Thanks again Johnny if yer out there in hamb-land...

 

I know I am getting off the post topic, but here is my dad's '49 Merc he bought in 1960 back East...

Is that shifter hooked to a stock 3 speed? If so, where can I get one that tall or taller? I have seen the 11" Hurst Indy Kit that converts a "3 on the tree" to a floor shift. JC Whitney has one also.

 

Nope, turbo 350 with a Genie shifter. Fools a couple people.

 

dunno if anyone ever saw it or anythin... years back there was an article in custom rodder or some mag about a shoebox called "el blob"... some guy from england, moved to calif' and built it or somthin... tooth paste green suede colour... does anyone have any pix or supthin on it??? i realy liked the way the guy built it!!!!

I know the exact car you are talking about. It was chopped into a hardtop, had a Chrysler grill bar, and the whole headliner was tuck and rolled. Very nice car. Too bad I can't find that issue of Custom Rodder. I wanna say it was mid '90s, but I could be wrong.
You're not intruding at all, that's a nice car. Anybody got a pic?

 

Shit! Glassguy, you don't fuck around or waste any time. Nicely finished off. Yeah, can we see a side profile pic? Thanks again for posting all the pics here for everyone.
