    That is the Econoline Supervan, it is 1-1/2 feet longer that the regular van. The body seam on the extension is very visible. In 1970, I bought one for $300 (running with significant accident damage). I intended to make a camper van, had to sell it soon after to pay medical bills. Russ

    Correct… but I did shorten my Custom version. The extra length sure would be welcome on a camper, but for what I wanted it looked out of balance.

    I saw this ’39 Ford 2 door sedan street rod on the HAMB. I shortened the wheelbase, then chopped and sectioned it and “corrected” the stance for a custom.1939 Ford Sedan Final

    Quick thing I did for someone on the HAMB.

    There seem to be “plenty” of these Zephyrs around as four doors and I know people convert them to coupes, but that looks like a monumental job, so here’s a quick(er) and easy(er) two door conversion. They did make these as a two door, but with really long rear quarter windows, which look pretty crap. I shortened them and stretched the doors. Didn’t touch the roof.

    That is really nice James. I like it.
    I did this one for a client last year. Mine is based on a 2 door, since that is what the client has. I did several proposals, and this one, with mild chop, shaved drip rails and shortened quarter windows was my favorite. But the client preferred another option.

    Stumbled upon a photo of the old (and somewhat famous, in France, in the 1980s, in Custom car circles, at least) “Tranche de Banane” Vedette and wondered what I could do with it. Nobody had even considered that it was possible to make a two door from a four door back then and some of the other choices look a bit awkward to our eyes, but hats off for trying. That chop takes no prisoners.

    That looks soo good James. I saw the same images on Facebook and downloaded them on my computer with the exact same thought, but lacked the spare time to do it. So thank you . I think it looks really fantastic this way.

    So someone of facebook commented on the Tranche de Banane, that the car had “ended badly”. I asked what he meant and he said that they had started to two door it a long time ago, but it was never completed. Then someone else – who seemed to be the owner of it – said it’s just “on hold” for now. Guess he has plans still. Hope they can get it back on the road again one day.
