The driver of that car won't survive a day in the mad max world without those doors

Man, the mesh windows really are an inspired choice, nice little detail.

why is this so satisfying?!

I really like the character that you created for this car! A post-apocalyptic artist, and a really neat car.

When I saw you use he dremel on the car all I could here in my head was Homer telling Flanders "I'm putting speed holes in my car!"

Best.Custom.Ever.

It's kinda funny, that you take old, beaten up cars and restore them to new look, and then take new cars and beat them up, to look post-apocalyptic :D Don't misunderstand it, I really love the look of these used, aged things, i'm in love with them, it's just the irony that i feel in this. Love your vids, i only found you, but i feel like you're my kind of youtuber

You have officially inspired me to make my own custom hot wheels cars! I'm used to a lot of the tools & methods you use for building Warhammer 40k game pieces so I hope it won't be to hard for me. Your work is amazing & ty for a great video & for inspiring me & others :D

Dude, I was watching tool restoration then came across your channel...I am freaking enjoying this its so interesting. It reminds me of another channel I'm subcribed too called mini cooking. Where the Creator cooks real food with miniature cooking wares. KZfaq never ceases to amaze me. You got me as a new subscriber.

totally the best one yet

I have no idea why this was in my recommended videos but after watching one video I can't stop watching. Excellent and INTERESTING work done to cars on a micro scale. Subbed.

The reason it's called shoebox is because this casting is based off a 1949-51 Ford which were nicknamed shoebox Fords after their design.

I also like making cars in this style.

"Shoe Box" is the nick name for a '49-'51 Ford.

I love this so much. I used to have an airbrush and workshop in 70s when i was a kid. I would make WW2 armor and airplanes from photos. With painting, weathering, damage and details. I painted miniatures as well. I love creating the appearance and imagery. I loved Ray Harryhausen as well.

Love your series of resto-customization videos. I plan on using a lot of your techniques for the tabletop game Gaslands. Thanks.

well i found a new channel to binge watch. subbed. :)

1949~1951 Ford cars are referred to as shoebox's.

I'm 63 now....my interests lay more towards outdoor pursuits and when indoors, decoys and general woodworking. But there was a time decades ago, my brothers and I would work model kits....in between playing with Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars. In fact, I still have mine and all of theirs---close to 200 cars including original 1968 Redlines...I can't tell you how much I enjoy watching and listening to your videos....so calming and Zen like. Hmmmm....wonder if the wife would support me tackling this hobby? (I don't think I'll ask) Keep it up, amigo!

The term “shoebox” commonly refers to the full-sized Chevrolet sedans offered during a three-year period of 1955 through 1957. Chevrolet, through the top tier Bel Air and its corresponding 150 and 210 lower-trim models, made such an indelible mark on the current and future car culture, that the venerable shoeboxes of the mid-1950s survive today as popular as the ’32-through-’34 Ford roadsters among customizers, hot rodders and performance lovers.

Pull the jewelers saw blades through beeswax a couple of times, it helps keep them from binding.

that was awesome, the detailing and ideas used are genius, I think. the end result is amazing. 😀 👍 👍

I really like this Mad Max custom, unlike various others i've seen on youtube this one is definitely one I can imagine in the post apocalyptic world. maybe it would have benefitted with having a door on the passenger side but thats just me. for a future one Id love to see a hudson hornet.

A term first applied to the 1949 Ford (the first new major postwar car design) , "shoebox" denoted a body style with streamlined fenders that, from above, resembled a "shoebox".

how did I get to watching this

MAKE A MAD MAX BIG RIG

That looks awesome! Maybe add a few bullet holes on one side to give it some battle credibility

absolutely awesome job, dude!!!! I wish I had the patience and skill to do that to some Hotwheels cars I have laying around still. 👍👍

idk how i got to ur channel, but im glad i did!

you are a great artist! I have a suggestion for another car, the pizza planet truck?

This car is sooo freaking cool. More mad max please, please !!

4:04 "I am pleased with my dents" lmao

These mad max cars are very cool please keep doing them

Have you ever seen the game called Gaslands? This is perfect for that.

This "Shoe box" is a 1949 Ford Custom - beautiful work!

I feel like the dent effect might be better achieved with some more primitive methods. I found that putting the body in a container with small rocks and shaking it can have a nice natural dent look, and gently bending the roof can make it look like it's been damaged without destroying the fit

Its called a "Shoebox" because it is a model of a late 40's early 50's Ford sedan that was nicknamed "shoebox".

"Shoe box" is a 1949 Ford.The 1948,1949,and 1950 Fords like these were called "shoe box Fords" because of the way they look.My neighbor owns a 1950 "shoe box" Ford.

Extremely custom. 22/10

Very clever using the tattoos I never thought of that

very rad

Ball cutter LOL!

Found these getting into the Gaslands game; great stuff, very inspirational!

WOW MAN! You are literally the master of customizing! You and Scott Dunlap are really good! I love your custom videos and I feel like I've just been inspired! :)

once you hit 100K you should really reach for sponsorships with the paints you use. your such a fantastic and unique channel I know you can work out some sponsorships.

You earned my "Subscribed"!!! Damn... you are GOOD!!!! I wish I can be like you...

The way the left headlight was sanded down made it look like “angry eyes”. Looks bad ass

I love the rust and the dented texture! Very impressive

Parabéns pela customização!

COOL!

Of the Mad Max customs you've done, I think this one best captures the aesthetic. Nice work!

This is so cool. Thank you for sharing. This mad max shoe box is something else.

Cool coined the label, so too will do

It was called the shoebox because the 1950 ford was nicknamed the shoebox ford due to its boxy look

I'm loving these Mad Max Customs!

Top notch effort! Love the rusty bars in the windows and dent effect.

I think the front has the sides for the wheels , covering the motor is cuted off , but it still looks nice

Dear friend! Why there is no video for tuning models?

Love the beaten effect on this. Top custom work. The shoebox is perfect for the beginner. Hmmm. Thanks as usual.

Absolutely stupendous work, I love this design!

sensacional !

It's like reversed restoration.. lol

I love this car, it looks spot on! I like the dremel technique, ive done it on a few of my barn find customs.

this is badass! never thought of modifying one of these before

Oh, what a car! WHAT A LOVELY CAR!

What about lifting the car off the wheels for a more off road look

This inspired me to write a ruleset to play wasteland car combat on the top of a kitchen table :), thank you very much!

Hay gente que tiene talento y tu eres un claro ejemplo de ello

do a monster truck please sir

The shoe box was made by ford m8

My son and I enjoy these video's very much!

I love your videos there truly works of art please continue making more customs!

wanna buy some67and69originals, mostly mint, not needing restor? got 10 or 12 of them. some have never seen a chip in the paint

Wire mesh across the doors would have looked cool too.

Shoebox was when car styling changed from the late 30's and 40's having fenders that bulged out from the body, to the smooth sides, but before the tail fin fad kicked in. Some people liked it, others felt it lacked style. The term stuck with some models more than others.

I'm sold... It's time I take my boys matchbox cars. Very very cool, good job.

hi, *HOW* *MUCH*

Red lighted skulls for head lights

That's really cool. The effects you use really work !

outstanding...hotwheels needs to hire artist like you to release hand finished custom cars...

ngomong opotoh koe tek ora jelas

Hes french

This is a work of art, when i think of a mad max hot wheels i think of something like this good job

I only watched your second mad max custom, along with this one obviously, and i love what you can do with these, I hope you do more in the future :D

Mattel should seriously hire you, the way you customize your hot wheels are very great😆

some pipes would be cool!!!really like your work!! thank you for sharing this awesomness

Oh wow this is what my life has been missing. Thanks for giving my life new purpose. ;)

More Escape from New York than Mad Max. Awesome Build. Learning soo much. Thanks.

Best small car artist on youtube in my opinion , great work .

Shoebox was a description attributed to it when it was introduced. Critics of the design referred to it as looking like a shoebox. Greta video!!

Fantastic build. Thanks.

This was a good one. way better than the first two. a lot of improvement. One of my favorites from the theme

That's awesome! Some mud effect would look cool on this too.

Beautiful. I have no other words to describe.

absolutely stunning craftsmanship, subbed....brilliant stuff

I love these kind of builds.

very interesting variety of paints and resources... citadel warhammer paints, wash on tattoos and various other stuff. looks really good though! don't know how the different brands merge so well. This is an awesome car

The idea to use tattoos is just amazing! Maybe I had decided to use a dark metal color, dark wash and light metal color for highlights on the engine to give another look, but hey, this car looks awesome!

They made a landrover defender style car a few years ago with a laden roof rack,that might be a cool one for this

Window screen would have been a much finer mesh, You can even get fiberglass window screen n rolls that is super easy to cut into custom shapes. Amazing build, regardless of the ginormous mesh!
