codie27 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Hello again guys,this is another project I've got on the go. Normally Id never buy a convertible kit but I knew I had a roof from a 49 Ford that recently had a roof swap. I had to slice the roof down the center and add a triangular fillet towards the rear but it was a very close fit. I used some half round evergreen for the belt line and window mouldings. Other than the 49 Ford taillights siiting vertical an the peaked head lights theres no plans for any other body mods. Anyways,here's where I'm at so far. As always any comments or suggestions are welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

codie27 Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share Posted July 23, 2013 Thanks for the kind comments guys. I'm tryin to decide whether to use the wheels pictured and keep it ultra low or use some Cadillac Sombrero hubcaps and have it ride slightly higher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maindrian Pace Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 It's unexpected, but the lines really work well. Because you asked for comments or suggestions, mine is to chop it. The side windows are too tall, and lowering the lid will really make the whole car flow. -MJS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Good looking work. Though I tend to think everything looks better chopped, the roofline you have picks up the big-wheel lowrider look very well if that's what you're going for.

zaina Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I like it. I would go with the sombreros and raise only the front for a tail dragger look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Matt Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Looks good so far, I'd go with the Caddy caps as well, but I tend to like the '50s style more than the late big alloy wheel look. If you go for the taildragger look, take a bit more out of the rear pillars compared to the front pillars, but should look good whatever way you do it.

codie27 Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 Thanks for the comments and ideas guys. I think I'm gonna go with the bigger wheels... I kinda like the high roof on this one so a roof chop is pretty much out of the question at this point as the roof has already been sliced down the middle and the area above the front windshield has already been filled and shaped.
