Hi gang!
Thought this would be a good place to start sharing my construction photos of my 50 Ford sedan. I purchased the car from a friend of mine as the Ford has been sitting almost 10yrs. It does have a 302 with an AOD that was not hooked up at the time but that was soon to change. last photo is first drive around the block.Having been lucky enough to live right down the road from Willie and the fact we did my 46 Ford 15+ yrs ago it was only natural that he do the work on this ole girl. The following photos are just a small portion of pics I took. There will be no narration in these as I only get 10 pics per post.
Heres the part of the story that kinda sucks…Willie at 81, just wasn’t able to finish this job, even with my help it just became too much. So, I took the car home and contacted another buddy of mine, Chuck Burns in Sanford Fla. and she went to his shop. here is how she is shaping up.
I love it Eric. Thanks for sharing it here on the CCC Forum.
I love the profile of the roof. Real dramatical early 1950’s style chop. Willie did very well. To bad he could not do the finishing work on the car. But he sure got the lines on it right.

Enjoy the beauty of Customizing
damn, that shoebox was really a rusted pos with a nice paint !!! Willie did a really good job saving the old lady, and the chop is superb! thanks for sharing 😉
