    Hey guys just joined the forums and got pointed over here by the-stig.
    Traded a 46 ford 4 door for this a couple summers ago. 55 customline 2 door sedan. It has a later straight 6 someone put in it and an automatic for now. someone converted it to 12v at one point but I'm not sure how good of a job they have done. Ive had the car for almost 2 years now and Ive hardly done anything yet but I plan to start starting now.

    Its a long way from ready but its overall very solid especially for being up in new england. The trunk is mint. My dad always says "i remember those things being all rotted out in the early 60's"

    Im gonna try to get her started later today and hopefully make a video of it and see whats going on with it for now... gotta start somewhere. Hope you like the pictures. Thanks - Rich

    Thats not rot up at the top of the rear gl***, but the bottom of the trunk lid is rotted as you can see. Thats actually the worst spot on the whole car. all underneath iand trunk and frame etc. is good.

    The interior is actually decent. Even the headliner is good

    I do have all the trim too with the car. Can't wait to get it runnin!
    Hope to hear from you guys! - Rich

    Toys serve no purpose if you dont take them out to play. You have a great car there, enjoy.
