1949 Ford chopped shoebox Hot Rod 1

[@johnchandler1687]

I live in Branson, Mo. Occasionally i see a really well done car. The guy has a 1950 Ford front and back grafted to a late 1980s Taurus. It's so well done it looks like it came that way.

[@1998dodgejd]

A taurus now that is interesting !

[@claudeperron8197]

Very lovely and well fabricated car! Love the french look of the front and back lights! Nothing I dislike about this beauty! Nice job! Hamilton Ont! Ca.

[@1998dodgejd]

Thanx for the reply

[@AndyH-13]

Cool car, nice lines. Lot of work to get it looking this good.

[@1998dodgejd]

Thanx, yeah this car started as a rotten shell.

Thank you Sir.

[@gangstershovel]

Beautiful car, well done, just looked at one on Vancouver island for sale and would have bought it if the body was a nice as your car. Still looking, you did an awesome job.

[@1998dodgejd]

Thank you, I appreciate that.

[@gangstershovel]

@@1998dodgejd Hello again, So by chance you wouldn't still have the car do you ? And if so would you have any interest in selling ? I live in the Fraser Valley, not sure where you are but I love your car and would be interested .Thanks for your time, regards Terry

[@1998dodgejd]

@@gangstershovel Hello Terry Yes i still have my car. I just replaced my tires with new 2-3/4 inch whitewall tires and the air cond is now working. I haven't thought about selling it, but i guess if the offer was over the top i might let it go. Have you seen all the video's on the car ? There is alot of custom work done to this car. This car drives great and is quick. I am located in southern ontario.

[@gangstershovel]

@@1998dodgejd Good morning, yes I have seen the video's, good to see a well built Canadian Shoebox Ford, I can appreciate how much you like the car, I get the impression your not ready to sell which I do understand and I'm really not willing to pay crazy money for a vehicle just to own it. But I thank you for your time and hope you get lots more happy miles. Regards Terry.

[@1998dodgejd]

@@gangstershovel Thanx for the reply. The car is a blast to drive and show. Hard to part with it and seeing so much expensive thrash out there scares me. What is your budget so i keep my eye out for you here, Later M

[@boneal4942]

Awesome build 👍

[@1998dodgejd]

Thanx sorry about the video lol

[@gabelopez3888]

Damn that's nice. I recently saw one for sale in my area. Thinking of checking it out.

[@1998dodgejd]

You should go see it and let me know what you think, love mine. Thanx for the comment.

[@ReedThomas71]

Bad Chad on KZbin is chopping and restoring a 1950 Ford shoe box on his channel right now. You might take a look to see what he is doing on his. You have a very nice car with lots of time and money invested, great job. How long did it take you to restore it?

[@1998dodgejd]

Thanx, It took about 5 years on and off ( money and other projects ) I started with a rotten shell also. I have another video about the build. Yes i am watching Chad as well.

[@ReedThomas71]

@@1998dodgejd I caught that on the video when you said you saved it. Chad does some nice stuff, I would just like to see him finish his projects. I understand time restraints and things like you taking 5 years to do your ‘49 Ford, but I am sure you have a full time job and that’s not the only thing you do. This is what Chad does for a living and he can’t finish a project? I would just about bet this car doesn’t get finished either. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know I appreciate the job you done and just love your car. Don’t listen to other assholes, they are jealous they don’t have the skill or too lazy to have such a nice ride as yours. God bless, and happy holidays!

[@1998dodgejd]

@@ReedThomas71 Yeah would be nice to see something finished from him but it's all about the content to keep making money. Thanx again for the positive comments, i always said it take a big man to start a project but it takes bigger man to finish it. God bless and a great holiday.

[@oldscout80]

I was wondering where Chad got the idea for turning the bumpers upside down. Now I know.

[@powersource2180]

Sweet ride

[@1998dodgejd]

Thanx it drives great.

[@stevenbarnes8238]

Awesome car! Dont pay attention to the keyboard creeps.

[@kevinsnyder8448]

[@1998dodgejd]

[@snoopu2601]

@@1998dodgejd I bet I had a few car's I built and always got thumbs up. I eventually sold them I currently have a 1947chevy coupe that I changed to 12 volt 5 on 5 lug disc brakes, I still have a few more things to do to it but ivev drove it to a few shows bellit Proof shows at the Antioch Fair grounds in California Pleasanton Fair grounds at the Good Guy's car show it will be my last build I'm 50 years old not enough time to keep building. It was fun through the years building car's truck's for other's. Now it's way to much and where I live is not friendly inveroment to work on customs anymore like Chip Foose said in his own words tottley unessery to build a custom but get paid to build others people's dreams.

[@1998dodgejd]

@@snoopu2601 I totally get that , i get the urge once in a while and then remember all the time and money. I am in canada and its alot harder and way more expensive . That being said its now time for a 1966 chev c 10 longbed. LOL

[@Rockinruffhouser]

A leather jacket, biker boots, button shirt underneath, Ben Davis chinos and combed hair would match it better.

[@rarebreed6703]

For sale?

[@1998dodgejd]

Maybe, what are you thinking ?

[@brenttuttle2692]

Nice touch with hiding the AC controller!

[@1998dodgejd]

It’s not chopped right, doesn’t follow the body

Thanx I guess I DontKare2 reply lol

[@masskilla469]

This video is giving me a headache really shaky!! Also the passenger rear quarter lines go up at the door and are not right and go up after the back right hand side window and do not match up with the Drivers side. The White steering wheel looks out of place

[@1998dodgejd]

You're right the video sucks, lol
