my first shoebox

Thanks for posting and bringing out the Shoebox people. I drive a'50 Fordor.....Im working on a '51 Tudor and would like to find a '49 Vert. Mark
 
Looking for a local pinstripper in the chico(northern california area) who is amazingly good at pinstripping..any suggestions?
 
My shoebox is finally on a transport to California as I write.. Getting excited.. Gonna grab my wife and go cruisin'
 

Here she is getting loaded up.. So long cold humid rusty New York, on to warm dry rust free retired life of Northern California..��
 
8 months, to get this thing, I know it's a long time coming... It's been in my brothers possession and he's been taking his time but the shippers really have been a pain in the ***.. We used uship.com it took three different shippers before one finally picked it up two others flaked for days....
 
Grand,
I used a compact 12v battery to power a modern (at the time) AM/FM/
casette in my '35 sedan. These batteries are readily availble and are about 5x4x1 1/2.
I charged it twice a year. In a 30's car the radio chassis is quite large and readily
accepted the transistor radio and battery. An inverter 12v from 6v would work too
I guess. At the risk of being placed on a stretching rack you could change the '50
to 12v , yikes did I just say that ?

Charlie,
Oh do I have plans for this ride, 12v as you mentioned will definitely be done because airbags and on board air install plus a booming system and led lights all around..
 
If it was a survivor from the west then original it would stay but since it's a east coaster like myself, it needs to be custom to survive out here...lol...I also have a all original 1931 model A that will always be that way so this is how I get to have some custom fun without hurting my modelA....
 

Here she is finally out west and went for a proper cruise with the car loaded up with five adults and hit the streets of Chico good times and really fun car..
