- On this episode of Mad Ginger Customs Jess get down and dirty in the Shoebox. We get it stripped out and see if this is even worth building. On the previous episode we broke the Flathead free and got her fired up!! Will the rest of the car let us down or is she a good builder? Jess really gets "INTO" her work on this one! This is a REVIVAL!!!

WANT TO SEE THIS THING BREAK FREE AND FIRE UP???
• 1950 Ford Shoebox with...
I like her old Texaco hat. I had an identical one 40 years ago. When I was a teen, most boys wore trucker hats.
Trucker hats are my faves!
This was great! You have a rare partner that is willing to dive into that mess. I couldn't pay my wife enough to even consider doing that, LOL. The car has some good bones and should clean up pretty good for you. I'm enjoying the series on this car and will be waiting for your next video.
We appreciate the kind words!
New drinking game, take a drink every time Jess says "oh my god!" I would be done within 5 minutes! Nice work!
now you have to take her out for dinner after that epic work on the boot lid!
She's certainly earned it!!
goood job mates . just have fun with it . its looking like the titanic
Smells worse though I bet!
Videos like these remind me why I don't actually work on old cars anymore. But I don't mind watchin others do it.
i must congratulate your wife for helping you! she was very brave to do that nasty job!
EMS has all the replacement panels needed for the car. They did for my 50, good luck.
I'll look. I couldn't find that lower valance in the front. Thank you!
Awesome job!!! After a few hundred more subscribers I will order you both matching overalls!!! Awesome job getting the truck opened up!! The floor is actually not as bad as I thought it was going to be..
Jess is a trooper, Jess you are my hero I was a F.F. for 28&1/2 years & had to crawl into some bad places, so I say she did a fantastic job!!!
Thanks! I hate enclosed spaces so I really had to get over some fears to do this 😊
Watching her unlock that trunk was very enlightening! 😊
I worked so hard on that!!!
@@MadGingerJess super fun to watch.....💘
Im subscribed, and will be watching from a distance.
Nice work getting it cleaned out. It's cool that your wife gets in there with you 👍
She is a good egg. She's getting more into the cars as time goes on. She has a 1964 F100 we work on. Maybe we'll do a video on it.
@@madgingercustoms Never heard the term good egg, In Australia bad egg is more of a saying I'm familiar with, the cops told my dad There's been some bad eggs in the area where I was stopped on my bike accused of burglarizing speakers and record player bought from secondhand shop
I'd love to see the look on the upholsterers face when you bring that back seat in. 🤣
I'm not sure we can afford that bill!!
You had me as a new viewer when Jess crawled into the trunk !also shoebox 49 thru 51 are my favs! looking forward to future escapades!!
Awesome!
Buddy that woman is a keeper for sure. I love the Shoebox. Lots of work ahead but in the end it’ll be worth it. Looking forward to your next video.👍👍🇨🇦
Literally just finished recording it. It's a rollercoaster!! Lol victory at the end though!!! Hope you're subscribed!
Your Wife should get a medal for bravery.
She's a warrior for sure!
I really should!
Wow you’re wife is a brave soul. I can’t believe she climbed in there. My dad had a 49 Ford . I remember him working on it. We took it on holidays and it ran perfect. My dad was a mechanic and I was by his side and I learned lots from him. We lived on a farm and he did all his own work. From cars tractors to combines .
I didn't even think twice, just went right in!
Really? From about minute 12:00 to minute 15:00 no one is even, in a respectful and appreciative manner, going to comment? I have a shirt exactly like that one! Subscribed.
i learned to drive in one of those cars. my dad bought it right off the assembly line for 950 bucks with his employee discount. turned in the order when he went to work and drove it home at the end of the day. lol
That's awesome!
Sweet little ford I love the body style on these,nice job getting her cleaned out,it looks to have a pretty good body,we'll keep watching for update thanks
Thanks 👍
11:36 Connecticut plate! I live there! LOL (you too?)
22:00 A lil bit aluminum tape will fix that right up!
22:05 That Connecticut plate just found a new home! Right on that hole!
22:28 Got an old refridgerator you can part with? A set of tin snips? LOL
Thanx for a great vid buddy!
You 2 are awesome!
Don't threaten me with a good time!!
@@madgingercustoms I say that a lot! LOL
Thank you.
Yeah there’s probably been a mouse or 6 living in there 😂. Gotta love those barn finds. At least the “dirty” work is done now.
You should watch the video of me cutting the floors out lol. There's more dirt!!
@@madgingercustoms making my way there. Watched the first two last night. 😉
A worthy shoebox Ford project. She wants to comeback to life. Onward!
Hoping that's the case!
Nice job you 2. At the 15:18 mark I choked on my coffee. Good stuff.
I am a Ford man and have enjoyed the videos. I don't know if I would go any further with that particular car, though.......I'll be watching! Thanks for posting!
I hear ya, but at this point I don't think I can make it any worse!
She's a keeper! She climbed in the truck like a champ!
I still can't believe I did it!
Great vid, really enjoyed!! 👍👍
Thanks!!
Good work and a long way to go
great video and to have a wife that wants to get in there and help is just awesome cant wait for the video on the compression test and other engine corrections needed both of you keep up the good work
Thanks!!!
I might be in the minority but all in all I think for a Shoe Box from the east part of the country is in realy good shape. Measure the floors, go to the scrap yard and cut floors out of a junk car at almost no cost. You are lucky to have such a great partner/wife to help, she is a real trouper, very impressed. Keep up the work, it will be difficult but fun to watch
yes that is undercoating/sound deadener...did mine with air hammer with dull chisel. great car
This is awesome! We have the same car that sat in weather for years in terrible condition, my dad and I are going to try and fix it up soon but we first need to know what to do.
You can do it!
Wow, I've cleaned out many cars like that, then I would strip to my bvds and everything else went to the trash, Mouse piss is the worst.
Great wife, thanks for sharing. They were that rusty in 1958 I bought many for a 100 dollars with no floor, I put 2x4's across the frame to bolt the seat to, and some plywood and lots of carpet pieces, good runners for a hundred bucks. Cheers.
That's what I'm talking about!!
Good luck with your Channel i hope you do well with fresh subs
Keep posting and i will keep watching You have my vote 👍👌
Thank you! Subscribe and hit the bell and we can build this together!
@@madgingercustoms sorry I thought I already had have now tho 👍
New to your channel, said and done, to me a very easy build if you have some basic tools. I don't know which channels that you enjoy watching for some inspiration but I will mention a few that can help you with this build. Junkyard digs or vice grip garage would go with some old licence plates and road signs for floors. To me, that is not even entertainment. I'm seventy three and quite crippled up so, me getting dirty now is just a dream. I love the next two channels Halfass Kustoms with Brent or Make it kustom with Karl Fisher. The later is a little extreme as he loves to teach and his ocd has him making perfect panels... Brent is a old school quick and dirty but really proper builder from old metal and some new stock to make his own patch panels. He does his work in a way that is easy to follow and you too can do it. As I see it right now, getting stuff freed up and working again is going to be a challenge but times on your side. It sat in this condition for some good time now so its not going to give easy. Heat is your friend to getting Krol oil or what ever you like to loosen stuff up with. My folks owned a new forty nine like this rig here that looks like a fifty. I do believe that every new panel is out there to be had but if there is a part of any of it to copy with cardboard or paper, even tape and stuff folded into the shape desired, you can make it yourself. Another channel is (spelling challenged) Fitzees
ruclips.net/video/1AiDqIHP5Po/видео.html&ab_channel=Fitzee%27sFabrications
Its best sometimes to just include a link so you get the right person. This guy is as basic as anyone gets and he is dang good. I think he spends too much time teaching but his work is just super fine quality and makes a real custom job look quite easy. I do hope that you do build the rig but as it is now, you have all the seat frames for upholstery and trust me when I say its easy to get overwhelmed but stick to it. I agree getting what they used for undercoating is going to be everything but fun. I am a course person and not really a person to invite around small people as my adverbs are a bit much. I live in alaska and it seems to just be common here. I wish you the best, I did subscribe and will try some of your videos. Good luck
I do watch all of those channels!! Thank you for such a well thought out, informative reply! We appreciate it!
Thank you for posting. I have an imprinted affinity for the shoe box as my grandfather and father each purchased new ones two years apart from one another. Granddad had the '49 with a visor and my dad had a '51 custom with chrome fender skirts. The '49 had the L head 6 and the '51 had the flat head V8. Very happy you decided to save this relic from my past. Looking forward to more on this (and or)your trucks. Particularly fond of the IH as we had a '74 that we used for hauling horses around.
She's a builder! Unless you're one of them fussy perfectionist types.
Hello you guys....team work video....good wife good life....not happy wife happy life...the shoe box is a cool build 😎...have a great day you guys
Thanks!!
Awesome video u just found your channel and subscribed
Nice job Dave & Jess. You two are making some great content. I've seen all the videos & am subscribed. If we get the gang back together we could be a RUclips sensation!!! Can't wait for the next one!!! Keep on Truckin!!!
Thanks man! Can you imagine all of us getting back together and a camera rolling.
Anyone who can enlist their wife to help deserves a sub and a 👍
We appreciate it. She's a trooper for doing that.
@@madgingercustoms Definitely 👍
Most women would be too worried about the unknown in there plus the stink 😂
Tear it all the way down
Take your time
Start gathering as you can.
Make your videos.
It is good to see someone work on something other than
55 thru 80 Chevys.
I redid VW s for a long time from mid 80 till 2010.
I didn’t get money other than from my job.
I could do one on about 2 years that looked almost that bad.
Cut and grind the rust it must go. Sand blast etc.
You will be proud.
Watch lots of videos how to do.
Good luck.
Thanks for watching!!
Personally I would pull the seats out first then it's easier to get the flooring out, and make it easier to get into the back, doing a great job, all the best to yous and your loved ones
Thank you for the kind words!
Love the ole SBs.
Heather was enjoying the pumpkin bump.
Get it running and leave it looking just as it is. Drive train and brakes.
I've been battling it all day. Next video hopefully coming this week!!
The floorboards of the cars back then were thick coated with hot tar to prevent rust. They would take a wide horse hair brush and slap hot tar on the floors. It was pretty much the only rust prevention they had and it worked well for maybe up to 10 years.
Looks like the car was black originally, judging by the door jambs, pillars, etc. Your lady is a real trooper; that car was really nasty inside. That undercoating looks like some sort of tar.
Yeah she's a champ. I'll be scraping that stuff off for a while I'd think.
@@madgingercustoms off of her, or the car? On the car, you can heat it up with a torch! Her...uhhhh..
Dry ice??
Not bad content for a new channel. Plus it helps that your wife participates and is S.A.F! 🙂👍
Thanks for checking out our videos!
@@madgingercustoms you're welcome!
Great video, my wife is into helping on the cars too. May I suggest yoga pants next time. Makes crawling in the truck easier.
While that may have made for good viewing they would have been ripped up by the time I was done!
Great video.
Thank you!
I'd watch Puddin's latest video, he made floorboards for his international pu, good job, i could almost smell the rat poop
Puddin has an entire series on the shoebox. It's his first videos! May be above my skill level though. I did watch the newest video though last night.
@@madgingercustoms I thought you could get an idea of making the patches to fit the shoe box.
@@donsmith8614 he seems that he isn't so happy with the panels he made on that IH. I think they're awesome.
@@madgingercustoms I thought it was a professional job compared to some i made for my classic beetles, haha
I subscribed.
Congratulations!! You found a project you can sink fifth thousand bucks into and end up with a real nice thirty thousand dollar car!!
This what most people that are saying restore it don't realize. Realistically it was a total loss.
@@madgingercustoms How much the car cost?, I got duded by my cousin selling me what was my dad's car from some 30 years back, It had a blown head, tired trans, rust in boot channels. The 81 Toyota Crown cost me $450, 8 years later my mate's nephew got his hands on it tinkered with it, unblocked the fuel system, remove melted filter screen from pickup pipe, got it running, welch plugs on block given out, I said to him bin it. The zika virus (Zeke Marsh) kept all the proceeds of the scrap money
I notice that Ford bumper chrome doesn't hold up like 1950s GM bumper chrome! Ya see GM cars up there in the Rust Belt, where the only things LEFT are the chrome, and the glass!
That stuff is literally peeling off like it's tin foil.
Half ass customs just rebuilt the bottom of his doors. Looked pretty easy.
He does great work. I'm not a sheet metal guy but I guess I'll be learning!
Omg I was watching this while in line at the grocery store. This old man who smelled like urine stood in line behind me.
I thought you guys invented smellivision for a minute.
That's hilarious!!!!!
Hope your doing well. Chef-Stan
Good call, not worth it as you would never get your money back out of it ,only if sentimentel maybe but frame and mounts are pooched too. Koodos to the wifey for helping , nice to see you guys having fun together .
She seems to really have enjoyed the process.
Good.job.😃😃😃👏👏👍👍cool
You could probably get rid of most of the bitumen with a pneumatic needle scaler, but that might also create other issues if you go too crazy with it.
Yeah, that's what I need!! Needle scaler. Thanks for the suggestion. That will be the best tool for the job.
@@madgingercustoms Just keep the air pressure dialed back and use a light hand so you don't end up punching new holes in the sheet metal.
I have a 1951 Ford business coupe. I am doing all the rust repair myself, tig welding, and making my own patches. I did buy outer rockers but made my own inner. Now this one in your video... I wouldn't touch this 2 door sedan with a 10 foot pole. This thing is roached.
It is definitely rough. We'll see just how far we can take it.
I would like to say Jess has my vote for digging in like a trooper, i have dealt with my share of junk cars, and climbing in a trunk full of mouse urine takes GRIT, dont get crazy with this thing, its to far gone, make it run and drive and call it good.
This is a reasonable statement, some guys are thinking we are doing a restoration. It's bad on all sides! I'm battling valves right now as a t type this! Hope you're subscribed.
Thank you!
your a lucky man id say shes a keeper body dosent look to bad and the old car is pretty good to lolhats off to your wife most would not tuch that thing thanks for the vidio
She's a champ!
It's a dirty job but someone has to do it!
That someone is Jess. Lol
I always have the dirty jobs!
Now we get the olfactory perspective of a REAL barn find.
For real! This was months ago and I can still smell this car! 😂😂
I worked on this car yesterday doing suspension and it still smells!!
New channel huh? Cool. I'm in early.
Yup, please subscribe. I'll try my best to keep getting good content out!
I like like this year.. I'm a new subscriber. I'm in Rome Georgia..where you folks located.
Connecticut. Land of taxes and depression.
You are the wife whisperer!
The video we'll shoot this weekend on the new project vehicle will test her!! Lol
😂😂😂😂 he's something alright.
Man she tricked you she's going to make you do the Landry
I probably should after that ordeal!
I am trying to figure out who has the better rear end...........
The car or me?
@Mad Ginger Customs its a toss up, but I'll say you.
That needs scraping. It's a spares car. start again with a better body. Nothing to weld to. Good luck. 👍
Youse should be wearing full hazmat suits
I can't feel my legs since that day!
@@madgingercustomsnot surprised.looks like a nice project.Maybe you could re mount the body on a modern frame from a small pickup
That's factory under coat it could be asbestos base also all the old cars had it wear a face mask
I think your wife gave herself quite a wedgie helping get that trunk open, not to mention how filthy she got. If that's not love I don't know what is. Great channel.
She doesn't mind lol. Thanks for watching.
I don't mind getting a little dirty! 😂😂
👍🏻🇦🇺⛽️
Ok, the tri-5’s were shoe boxes as I knew it growing up.
Why is this car a “shoe box”?
Just let it rust away.
It's doing that on its own!
you should of set off a couple of bombs to kill all the bugs mice and what ever else that might be lurking in there. thats what i did to my 1989 f150 ,it was full of spiders and only god knows what else was in there
check with Bob Drake out of Oregon for parts
Anyway you slice it, so the sheet metal is beyond us financially. I made big strides learning today. Video will be coming shortly.
Also, Shoebox.Central...
A real rat rod
Yesssss
Seen worse
Certainly have!! I think it's perfectly build able.
Just picked up a custom in about the same shape. One thing I noticed right off the bat is the brake pedal seems frozen in the up position. Any suggestions on how to free it?
My entire brake video will be out tonight!! The master is probably bad in yours honestly if it's been sitting for a while. Subscribe and turn on the notification and the video will walk you through it.
