Thank you guys for all kind comments! Test drive some Miles today and she ran awesome so shoebox is almost reddy for the summer! Im really happy for a work done in 3 months all by my self and of course some help from my girlfriend!
Thanks! Yes i can take some interior pictures too when i get the car on the ground again the car hangs on the lift now waiting for new tires did run g78 -15 candy cusion before that was really old so the car was all over the road this saturday when we drove to a car show. Have ordered 6.70 -15 Bf goodrich WW now and rebuilt the idler arm in the steering and done an wheel alignment again so hopefully it will run fine when the tires show up!
thank you! had real fun bulding it and will continue post have alot left inside will chop window garnisch and much more small things but now im planing to drive thru the summer and relax
Got my new tires today and mounted them now she runs like a new shoebox down the road real different and smooth, even sits a little lower. Took some pictures of the interior aswell.
Thank you Eric! Im real pleased, hope yours come together to, to bad we are in different countrys otherwise we could cruise the streets
I put on 6.70 -15 now and im real pleased run g78 -15 before. Had 6.70 15 on my 54 before and i think that size looks good on most Fords!
It looks nice and you did it pretty fast! My plan is to make a visit to Sweden at next week,we are going to event called Hang'em hi at Enköping. Perhaps i'll see your shoebox at there?
Cool! Maybe see you i´ll be at Hang´em Hi on saturday think i bring the shoebox if i dont ride my bike!
Hand painted my rims gold today took a really long time im such an idiot that i dont painted the rims before i mounted the tires but.... Come up with the ide after i got new fresch tires on.
Did repaint the shoebox, love the maroon red but dont really thinked that it give the body full lines so the new paint is brown gold metallic with silk gloss matt clear. Havent had it out in the sun yet but its a really cool color hard to see on pictures but here they come:
Yes that brown does look good, really hits it off with the gold wheels and its a little less factory than the maroon I think. I wish it had gloss clear though! Just my opinion....
thank you! Yes i think it matches the car more but matt it is for now like the style! it may be some gloss clear some time when the car is 100% finisched if it ever be Always new modifications cirkuling in the head
Nice! Looks like you've been busy! Did you went to the Hang 'em high? I saw few nice shoeboxes there,but i didnt see yours..
Thanks! No dident make it to hang 'em high was a hell of rain were i live and we had 2-3 hours drive whitout wipers so stayed home and repainted insted. Had been cool to see you in person but maybe another time! Was it a cool weekend in Enköping otherwise?
Well,the weather was a bit better in Enköping.Only few drops of rain at saturday.And yes,it was a cool trip! Usually my trips to Sweden are nice,like this one.We left the Enköping at saturday and we went to the Custom bike show in Norrtälje too.We missed the show,but not the party at there. We talk about those two shows and agreed that the Hang 'em high was more our stuff than the Norrtälje party.It just felt like we are on the different planet in the middle of H.O.G members,their new touring bikes and the ridiculous Sons of anarchy clone bikes. Well,nothing wrong with custom bike show,but i guess we really have to skip the party at there in the future.
Could not agree with you more! Custom bike show as a show is fun i think but have never been to the party afterwards but i can imagine all that you said haha!
thanks man! haha sleeping is overated, no but i work as an auto mecanic to so i work with new modern cars daily and it can be very stressfull but when i come home to my own shop i feel relaxed thats why i enjoy old cars so, and my girlfriend are very interessted in cars and bike to so garage time is never a problem
I loved the maroon and mine will probably be maroon one day, but that brown looks really good. I agree it would look even better with a glossy clear coat if you decide to add it later. The car is cool regardless.
Beautiful car! Glad to see it out in the Streets. You sure don't fuck around, it takes me 3 months to get air in the tires LOL.
