Customs MY FIRST CAR!! 53 Ford

I really like that look!

 

Find any time to work on the Ford today?

 

Awesome!! Congrats and good luck man!

 

Yepp. Got home dad moved the car so I could wash it off. Then he drove me to Baseball in it !! And then got home cleaned the inside up a little bit and then took it for a spin again!

 

Awesome.

Hey, it won't be too many more days...summer vacation will be here...and you'll be able to spend some long days workin' on it...right?

 

Last week! And then on my list: Baseball . Work on Ford . Baseball . Work on Ford . Repeat and CAR SHOWS!

 

Congrats, Man!!! Great lookin' solid first car...Good luck!!

 

Man, you're gonna have a good summer.

 

Does anybody know where are I can find a speedometer cable?

 

Mac's carries a huge amount of stuff for your car, including speedo cables. Be sure to get a catalog too.

 

Very cool! Here's my '52. I'm in the process of getting a new motor and trans in it. I'm hoping to put a 292-312 y-block in it with a 3 deuce set up. eventually I want to add '56 Olds headlights and maybe get some whitewalls and sombrero caps.




Here are some other 52-54 Fords I like, that maybe you could use for inspiration:

 

Man that thing looks great just the way it is

 

Thanks! I really like it too, but I bought the car this way, and I just want to make a few changes to make it my own.

 

Fair enough

 

Thanks !

 

For any parts you need you may want to post in the HAMB "Wanted" section. I'm sure that there are quite a few folks out there with the stuff you need who would give a price break to a 14 year old working on his first rod.

 

lol . Thanks for the advice!

 

I think that is great that you have that 53 Ford as your first car. They make cool sleds. My first car was a 57 Ford Fairlane 500 with a 390 FE. I was 15 years old and mowed lawns to pay for it. I still have it today. good luck with your project. More youth should be like you.

 

I also mowed lawns and did other things. I love old fords!
Thanks !

 

Man congrats on the new car! My daughter has been helping me build her car for a few years and she sis only six. Your build will build a bond between you and your father that will last longer then the car. Have fun busting your knuckles and building your car.

Thanks ! That is awesome that your daughter likes old cars!

 

Congratulations, you have alot of fun ahead of you. I bought my first "oldie" - a '52 Chevy when I was 13 in '82 with paper route money.

Someone posted a pic of this but here's another angle on this '54:

 

Thanks for the pic!

 

Jason, you better have that ready for the Freedom Days car show in Apple Valley on June 29th! And you and your dad better take me for a ride when we come over on Sunday or else!

 

Old Fords and Baseball, HOTDAMN this kid has his shit togeather...

 

Great First car!

 

Congrats on a cool first car! My youngest son has his eye on a 54 Mainline that we might have to figure out how to bring home...

 

Dude that's a sweet ride! Man it brings back memories of when I was 21, I could have had one of these, but I sat on it for too long. Next time I went to the Memory Lane junkyard out here in So Cal, I saw the same exact car there in their staging area. Bummed me out!

Have fun with it!

 

That'll be a nice ride. I got my first car, a 52 Victoria, at 15 (That was in '63 though). Good luck, keep us posted.

 

Get it !!! He would love going with to pick it up like I did with my Dad!
