1952-59 Ford I picked up a 54 mainline

Do you know what that upper stainless molding is from? The one that goes from the fenders above the bumper up and under the hood. I need one of those for mine.

 

I think they use 55 trim , that's what I plan on doing if I use my narrowed grill( have my buddy Tig them together and polish them ) 55 trim is 3 pieces !

 

If either of you find the clips that hold them on, let me know. I'm missing a couple and can't seem to find any that will work.

Thanks Brodie. Not sure why I have never seen those before. I'm actually missing some of the ones for the side grille mouldings http://www.tee-bird.com/catalog_product_detailed.cfm?id=14017

 

The sides are the wire doohickey things while the hood leading edge is the formed clip that the trim snaps over. I have replaced every one on my Customline. Tee Bird has great service.

 

Nice job. Just picked up a 54 myself. Where did you find the rings for the taillights, and what are they?

 

So my buddy hooked me up with some of the parts to build my grill surround

 

Your grille idea reminded me of this

 

good ideas on the grill. But since you already have the stock grill handy, have you thought about making it a floating grill like Gary Howard did. looks awsome and fills that cavity great!

 

Looking nice! I'm really diggin the mouth

 

am I the only one that does not know where those t/l frenching parts are from.?? help a bro out. thanks RR

 

Im ***uming you're talking about the tailight? If so, i bought some from mooneyes when i had my 54. They should still have it.

 

So cal speed shop has them in Sacramento I saw them yesterday !!

 

Stoked looks like I'm going to have some time for the 54 ! I was waiting on lower door hinges to get the doors right so I can get the front clip straightened out before starting the grill !!! Kinda been how's it's been sitting for a while since I worked on the lights , gave it a shave , Aerostar front springs and 3" blocks in the rear !!

 

Little bit of a change since I first picked her up ! I haven't had a lot of time to do much except knock some of the ugly off ! Hope to French the headlights and get the grill figured out !!

 

Looks great!

 

Chaz has recently put the finishing touches on his custom grille for his wagon. HRP

 

Am thinking about the same sort of thing !!

 

So finally got around to getting a few things done on the 54 ! Installed the narrowed grill and put the stock headlight rings for now ! Also finally took the rear bumper gaurds off and added 1956 Plymouth caps to it !

 

Looking really good! I like it!

 

So finally got back to working on this again and started frenching the headlights !! Also decided to redo the grill / surround and use a second upper section on the bottom , never have liked the narrowed grill think I narrowed it to much !! plans also to rework the front bumper too!

 

So made some more progress, have to fix some poorly done repairs to the p***enger fender and the splash apron before I can start the grill !!

 

Looks awesome. Nice work

 

Hope I can make this Plymouth back window work in my 3" chop plans !!

 

So my car was part of Modesto Rod and Custom Cars & Coffee this past weekend and we chopped my 54 and a 53 Chevy ! Decided to go 4" and the Plymouth window is to flat , so I'll be using a shoebox rear gl*** !

 

Very nice!

 

Wow! It looks really good man, Im jealous!

 

So the Plymouth back gl*** is to flat , picked up a shoebox back window need to do some t******* then hope to get it in place ! Hope to have some updates soon with pics , busy next few weeks !
