Thought I might share my lastest addition to the shop. Just picked this up. This 49 Ford coupe shoebox is virtually unmolested. I feel very lucky to have gotten it. Too the 2 HAMB brothers that made this happen, you know who you are. Thanks so much.

First thing is to go thru engine and mechanical, going to be a daily driver. Want to keep it basically original. Main plans are,fenderskirts,lowering blocks,wide whites,scuff and seal paint,pinstrip.
 
I had an original 60K mile survivor. Loved the car, but the fit of body components was horrible. One reason not many are around. The '50 was a much better car.
 
Stop by shoeboxford.com where '49 Fords are not rare at all, a forum to ask questions or bs and our host, Chris from Shoebox Ford Parts has a yard full of parts and more. ..B.

I've always seen and heard this to. But I must admit this car is good as far as fits. The drivers door needs alittle adjusting(could have been hung on a friday) but overall nothing to complain about.

While you see tons of 4dr. and 2dr. sedans, I must say, the coupes are getting fairly hard to find, at least in complete and not hulked out condition.
