THE 50 by BBT Fabrications

[BBT FAB]

Hello eveyone,

We would like to share one of our projects with you. We started with a 50 ford body and were going to take the nostalgic path until we decided with the owner the ford y black just wasnt going to cut it. Now we are playing around with the idea of a twin turbo or super charged 5.0L. Anyways enough talk. Here are some pics.

Cool looking project.

Nice to see a '49-'51 Ford on here. :thumbsup:

[billetman]

Very cool Shoebox.

[cantcatchmitch]

i love your work! minitrucks or hot rods everything is killer!

[SWAPMEETCRAZY]

Very cool Shoebox.

XX2 :D

[ArisESQ]

very cool!

any reason why you aren't running wider tires?

[BritishGreen68]

that body is f'ing nice man... You guys should do a semi-nostalgia build and just build a badass Y block. With a big checkbook you could make it just as dependable and alot of power, just as any other engine, but it would look so much cooler! Even turbo it?? I love old cars layed on the ground....

[bobwires]

great work! I'm envious of your metal working skills

[legend]

wow looks great, not too familiar with these is it the same as a Zephyr?

Looks nice man. Keep us posted.:thumbsup:

x2. :cheers:

[BBT FAB]

The wheels and tires are just for mock up we will be running some billet specialties wheels. The budget isnt to great thats why we decided to go with the 5.0L The twin turbo y block was talked about but it was just going to be to expensive to do what we wanted. We are currently having a rendering done by Bob Thrash. I will post it as soon as I get it.

THanks

[BritishGreen68]

Which Billet Specialties wheels are you going to run?

[Tincup]

Extremly nice metal work, going to be an awsome car.

[tones2SS]

Nice work guys! Looks great.

[waynieZ]

Awesome fab on the chop! You guys amaze me.

[dave96dcm]

I really like the body mods you are doing.

[Bundy]

That looks amazing. What kind of spindles are you running? S-10? I assume you built your own control arms.

[EH_Photos]

I'm SO envious! I'm building a '50 also and I applaud your efforts. It's nice to finally see a build-up of one of these shoeboxes. I can't wait to have mine on the road.
