1952-59 Ford Wednesday I saved a 56 from the scrap heap!

Hey guys been a while from posting but as you may or may not have known the builder Bo Huff p***ed last year. his kid junior had an auction I placed a bid of 275$ and well I went the 165 miles to pick her up. I currently own a 55 customline 2 Dr. In going to clear up some of the extra leftovers from the build and put together another....
Plus it was great to go with my grandfather and 2 best friends and have an adventure.

 

Very cool. Sadly, we can't save them all.

 

Glad you saved it ! And at that price how can you say no?

 

Nice score! I'm glad another one is saved.

 

Now the fun begins Build thread coming ?

 

Absolutely a build thread is coming. Combing through the garage I have found a 73 429 and a 78 460 a c6 trans and a4 speed toploader. 58 Ford 9" and some aerostar coils maybe a set of 78 ltd spindles too.

 

How complete or not was/is the car? Great deal, to say the least

Jim the car, it's missing a hood and trunk ( I have them from another 56 I bought years ago .) the front cross member is actually not rusted thru. Amazing and the rear windshield is missing ( have a spare in my shed). Fenders are decent except bottom for area. Floor plan is rough. The only thing I can see missing is the front radiator metal that the hood closes on. and a grille. Not thinking I'm going to put the factory grille in. I'm thinking an f100 grille with a bit of modification.

 

Glad ya saved her. there is a outfit in Cleaveland that produces all the sheetmetal you will need. All American made.
E.B.S. sheetmetal I think..Should be able to Google it. Good Luck
Regards.
