Oh…. that is sad to see the Shoebox go…. but very happy to see the 41 Merc come into the CCC-Family

Looking forward to see you get started on that… and hear your plans for it.

Have fun with the Merc Glen Dale…. and hopefully we will see more on the Shoebox from the new owner.

rik the merc is a full blown bucket list car for me. i would not have sold my car otherwise. this car popped up and i went for it. the shoebox is in really good hands.

Can’t beat the looks of Steve’s ’41.

so part of the deal on the shoebox is that I had to swap the new motor in. I thought I would ad the pics here.

I really(!) like shoebox Ford coupes, so it’s too bad you had to let it go. Of course, if it had to go, a ’41 Merc is the perfect reason!! This will be fun to watch.

Jus' creepin' along..

well it is done i delivered the car to it’s new owner today.

[Rik Hoving]

Goodbye…

Do you know what the new owner has in mind for the Shoebox?

Looking forward to see progress on your new project.

I believe he plans on adding 52-52 ford wheel lips in the front and clean up the body.

like I said in the merc thread I traded it off on Saturday. when I got rid of the shoebox I regretted it. I really enjoyed this car. I was offered the car back and I went for it. my buddy that bought it basically just kept it going and did not change much except the color. I don’t like what he picked so I will be changing it again hopefully before santa maria.

 

 

 

 

he did pick up a set of Navarro heads for it so they will be going on soon.

Sad to hear the 41 had to go.. but seeing this coupe returning really makes up for it…
Love to see it back, and looking forward for a color change.

I’m really sorry your merc had to go too. But it is good to see you came out on top. Where did you find the skirts on your Ford?

the skirts that are in I got from my buddy chris Swenson in Spokane wa.

potential new color. what do you guys think?

 

[Ian Gibbons]

Looks good better than the diarrhoea brown.

[Rik Hoving]

Yes, better.
Not a fan of the color it had when you got it back.. but I have to say that it was an unique color, made you have a second look at it. I like something different.
The new color is nice, and will suit the car very well, but its not a unique color, or something that will jump out from the rest. Not that that is a bad thing, just saying.
On the other hand I also like subtile things… a car that does not jump out to you in a “crowd” but then you start to notice details…
