Hey , KC , great progress on your '53 looks/sounds great .


.

 

With 15 I was happy with my new bicycle that I got from my uncle and dreaming about buying a Vespa with 16....

You have a a really great car! Super Flathead sound!

 

Thanks man!

Haha thank you!

Thanks man!

Thanks I love it!

 

Well guys winter has come to Minnesota, have school and baseball training. Still looking for a job so I can get more money to get stuff for the 53. Hopefully will have small updates here and there.

 

Spring's right around the corner, Jason. Looking forward to more '53 Ford adventures!

 

Me too!

 

Check this Pic! Old photo from the Minnesota Winter Carnival,just put some studded snow tires on the '53 and have at it My uncle used to race Harleys on Lake Phalen back in the 50's.SCARY!!

 

Can I give you a little advice? When I was 16 (in late '83) I got a 1948 Ford Coupe with 42,000 miles. Drove it, Loved it. In '85, Dad talked me into getting a "newer car" as an everyday driver (WOW, he was pissed when I showed up with a 64 Galaxie) The '48 went to my friends shop and we began working on it. A guy showed up, interested and I shot him what I thought was a crazy price. The next day he showed up with cash. Car was gone, never to be seen again. Do not ever sell your car, you will regret it. I have been wanting another 48, but rotted projects are going for what I bought and sold my low mileage car for.
Keep it, it is equity and a part of your life.

Just an FYI

PS. Sweet ride, I have a 54 Victoria at this time

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
oh hell yeah, i'll NEVER sell my truck. i've never driven it or even hear it run, but it's still my baby. you will remember this car forever. it's not just a car, it's your fist sign of freedom, hold it dear to your heart. well, maybe not that close, sounded like Arnie Cunningham right there, just never sell it.

 

I will never sell it!

 

Thats awesome!

 

If you plan on driving girls around, make sure to chrome your glove box door. Just a pro-tip. I wish I did that in high school.

 

Then it would match the license plate for sure!

 

Where are you guys getting chrome steelies with lowest price and best quality?

 

Anybody?

 

I got my first car when I was 14 also, it was this 56 Ford.

 

Cool! Still have it?

 

Summit sells them, and they seem to have a really good return policy if you end up getting a bad one, just in case. I'd start there, although I've never personally bought one of those wheels from them. If I wanted some though, that's probably where I'd get them.

 

Thank you!!

 

Looking to get wheels soon.. Also new thread coming soon..

 

Please post a link to the new thread so we can continue to follow your progress. Thanks

 

Just ran into this thread and my name is Jason too and bought my 53 ford 5 years ago. I wish I was as young as you though and here is my 53.

As mentioned above, Summit has Wheel Vintiques Chrome steelies for $121 a piece

 

I'v been thru this whole thread and didn't see one pic of tour car.

This is my high school car, 1959 thru 1961. Lower than a snakes belly and flathead powered.
