Dan Hay Posted Monday at 09:55 PM Posted Monday at 09:55 PM Just finished up this Shoebox. It's a combo of both the AMT 49 Ford Coupe and AMT 50 Ford Convertible. I modified the convertible top to a steel hardtop, like a 51 Victoria, then grafted in a coupe rear window. Top is chopped, flush mounted skirts, narrowed 49 Merc bumpers. Colors are Testors Extreme Emerald Green and Tamiya Racing white. Enjoy! Here's the video about it: 21

Kanada Kustoms Posted Monday at 10:08 PM Posted Monday at 10:08 PM Great looking build... Love the roof! 1
Sledsel Posted Tuesday at 03:18 AM Posted Tuesday at 03:18 AM Very nice! Roof looks sweet (Honestly, with the title I expected a '53 Ford roof) Chrome dash is cool to!!! 1
Zippi Posted Tuesday at 12:44 PM Posted Tuesday at 12:44 PM That's a good looking Ford Dan. Great video. 1
bobss396 Posted Tuesday at 01:17 PM Posted Tuesday at 01:17 PM I'm following the HAMB model car thread and ran across this astonishing build. Total killer. I have one in mind and am gathering parts for it. So far I have Modelhaus wide whites, some old Lancer hub caps, a Norm Veber Carson top, F&F cruiser skirts, a bunch of flathead goodies. I have to sift thru my lake pipes stash. I de-chromed the bumpers and will shoot them with Revell chrome spray. 1
espo Posted Tuesday at 07:27 PM Posted Tuesday at 07:27 PM Like the early Kustom style. Great looking paint colors and finish. 1
Chris B Posted Tuesday at 08:19 PM Posted Tuesday at 08:19 PM Awesome build Dan I have been off work for a while now Dan recovering from a hip replacement and got pretty bored with watching TV so I started watching YouTube model building channels and discovered yours and I have to say I love it I have watched every video more than once Your models are all exceptional you are clearly a talented builder. 1
Phildaupho Posted Tuesday at 09:05 PM Posted Tuesday at 09:05 PM Very attractive. I especially like your choice of colours. 1

Ace-Garageguy Posted Tuesday at 09:43 PM Posted Tuesday at 09:43 PM Hard to beat a nicely done custom Shoebox. 1

Bill_B Posted Wednesday at 10:35 AM Posted Wednesday at 10:35 AM This is beautiful. I'm a big fan of the early customs. This one for me would get a little more consistant stare time when passing by the finished shelf. 1
bobss396 Posted Wednesday at 01:43 PM Posted Wednesday at 01:43 PM I started on mine a couple days ago...I am inspired. I bought what I thought was a complete kit at a show.. not so fast. So I ordered up another one from Amazon. I'll be using the '53 Ford flathead, so far. I have to paw through my 3D printed engine stash, maybe a Chevy 409... I shaved the trim off the body, rescribed the lines.. fun. I'll do a thread on it soon. 1
Dennis Lacy Posted Wednesday at 04:24 PM Posted Wednesday at 04:24 PM Looks awesome, Dan! Just-right stance, proportions and color scheme. Enjoyed following the project on your channel. 😎 1
