THE 50 by BBT Fabrications

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.

XX2 :D

very cool!

any reason why you aren't running wider tires?

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....

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

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

x2. :cheers:

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

Which Billet Specialties wheels are you going to run?

About time you guys get on here!
