Ford 1949 - 50 - 51 (shoebox) custom & mild custom galerie

This 1950 Ford started life as a 2 door sedan. After much modification it is now a business coupe. It has less than 1000 miles since a complete frame off restoration.

The top has been chopped 6 1/2" in the rear and 5 1/2" in the front to give the car a sleeker, more aggressive custom look. The deck lid and the rear body panel were massaged forward 9". A left quarter section was grafted onto the inside of the right quarter and the same was done on the left side. Then to add to the custom look the tail lights were frenched in 1 1/2". The rear bumper is a custom Lincoln bumper that has been narrowed 4" and tucked in against the rear of the car. The front bumper got the same treatment. The grille has been custom fabricated, smoothed, and painted to match. The firewall is custom fabricated as well as the inner fenders. The car has been re-wired with a Painless harness for safety sake. The engine is a 283cu Chevy that was completely rebuilt by Shade Machine of Bellville Ohio. The rebuild includes titanium valve guides, bearings, valves, seals, and gaskets. The heads have been milled and the block was decked. A special was ground for the car by Comp Cams. All new exhaust includes Flowmaster mufflers and stainless tips. The transmission is a rebuilt 700R4 with a shift kit. The car has all new tinted glass and all the side glass rolls up and down. The interior was redone with 1950's style material on the stock seat. The body is completely refinished with Sherwin Williams Basecoat/Clearcoat Gray. The frame was channeled 5" with a S-10 Front clip for better ride and handling. The entire frame has been coated with POR-15. To touch it off the trunk is fully carpeted.

. This car has been tastefully done with meticulous attention to detail. This highly customized body makes for one absolutely cool custom.

1949 Ford Coupe Shoebox. I have owned the car for over 7 years. It has a 1965 Chevy Corvette motor with a TH-350 transmission. The motor is an actual corvette 327 2 bolt main, not a 4 bolt out of a truck. I purchased this car all original from the 1st owners granddaughter. I had the top chopped professionally by Ian Roussel. If you're not familiar with the name, Google him. He is well known and respected. The entire suspension is all new with less than 2,500 miles on it. All suspension and components replaced with new Jamco Suspension. I had all the floor boards replaced to remove all rust. the entire body was stripped down to bare metal and blocked professionally. the hood has about 3 - 5 scratches that do not show up in pictures but I just wanted to let you know that they are there. I have replaced all 4 tires with Firestone tires and the tire size is 670-15. all 4 rims are original and I had them sandblasted and powder coated, not rattle can paint. The car is satin black painted, not primer. The paint used is Kirker Hot Rod Black. This car seriously turns heads and I have been told numerous times that this is probably the best chop that they have seen with slanted posts. No overheating or any issues other than an oil leak from the oil pan which is pretty common on SBC engines as well as some seepage from the valve covers. This car handles well on the road as well as the freeway. I have done so much to this car professionally that I encourage you to ask me whatever questions you have about the vehicle. The rear diff was replaced with a 1973 Ford Maverick rear end to handle the new engine. all four brakes are drum brakes but stop on a dime, I have also installed a tall Lokar shifter to give it that kustom look.
