1952-59 Ford My Sunliner

Thought I would try to post a few pictures of some of the early progress of my project...here goes

 

Looking good. It's a lot of work, but worth it when they're done. Keep the pics coming.

 

She is a beauty.

 

Damn , that is coming along really good .

Jim

 

Nice work man ! Gonna be sweet.

 

Very nice!

 

*****en' man. That is a great car!

 

Ya know, I really wanted a convertible but had to settle on the Club Coupe. Your project is comming along nicely. Congrats.

 

The first two pics. That's how mine looks can't wait to move on good job

 

My pictdures got lost...I'm sure it's something I did...I'll see if I can correct that and add a few new ones...

 

looks very nice.

 

Looks good! I like that dash

 

Starting to look really good, not too crazy about the upholstery though.

 

Beautimous!

 

That looks great. The color of the dash is great.

 

Lookin' good! Keep goin'.

 

Here's a few more pictures of my progress.

 

Looking really good ,nice tidy workmanship . But somewhere there is a chevy owner who is missing his engine

( Meant entirely in jest , don't tell anyone but my Model A runs an Oldsmobile.... )

 

Really looked great and then-----------------------------------------

 

wow!, nice project. I dig the chev motor, as i am GM at heart. You are definately taking this car to the next level! cant wait to see it finished.

 

Nice set-up you have there. What GM sub-frame did you use. Is it the same width as the stock ford frame. Nothing wrong with running a Chevy motor in a ford. I have a 54 business coupe with a 350/700.

 

I used a G-body frame clip...(1978-1987 mid size gm...Chevelle, Monte Carlo, Olds Cutl***) almost the same track width....Your right there is nothing wrong with running a Chevy engine in a Ford....I once built a 1957 Chevy Straight axle car and put a 413 wedge in it...also a 1951 Ford with a 500 Caddy(that was awesom)...I put a Ford 260 in a Sunbeam Alpine(not a Tiger)....the last car I built previous to this was a 1957 Ford tudor wagon and I put a 390 Ford 4 speed manual in it....so I think I've earned the right to do what I want as far as engine and body combinations goes......but I understand what some people are saying, they've just seen too much of the sbc thing...but it wasn't always that way, and now the new political climate is Ford in a Ford and Chevy in a Chevy, etc.,......I have friends that are "Fordies", and they are tough bunch and they are tough on me....But I don't care, I'm just in it for the fun.... I love building cars.....thanks everyone for your comments......Coop

 

Just buy these and we will forgive you http://www.ebay.com/itm/FORD-LOGO-SMALL-BLOCK-CHEVY-VALVE-COVERS-ALUMINUM-FIN-/170752980006 Your "Fordie" buddies will love you for it!

 

Wow, I haven't seen a set of those for years.....I bought a set many years ago for $20 and sold them to a guy that couln't live without them...Personally I could never bring myself to put them on a car (even though several of them qualified to wear them)....There was just something wrong about them.(hee-hee)

 

Here's a couple more up dates on my Sunliner project. Just sent it for upholstry and top at Bob Evans upholstry in Lancaster, Ohio. I'll post pictures of that next week...

 

Looks great, can't wait to see more progress!

 

Your sunliner is coming along just great. I feel like you, and put what I want under the hood. I have a 59 Dodge custom Royal Lancer with a 79 Z-28 front clip,79 trans-am rearend, Chevy 350,700R and air bags all around. I have fun when I take it to the Mopar shows. The Mopar purist think I'm crazy. I am also putting together a 53 Studebaker truck with a 79 Volari sub-frame, Ford 351/c6 ford 9inch rearend.

 

Thanks. I love those old early 50's Studebaker trucks. The lines are great.

 

Lookin' real spiffy!

 

Can't wait to see more piccys - looking great so far .
