hey guys, ive finaly got the title in my hands so i thought id share some pictures.im preety stoked ive wanted this car for a couple years now and ill finaly be able to put it together now the previous owner is a budys dad and was the second owner, with only 60 thousand original miles he wanted to build it like in the little mags he bought every saturday night as a kid with an 54 olds grill and some subtle tricks. after the car sitting for quite a while and getting to know me better he tld me that he wanted to keep it around for when he retired in a few yeras but decided that hed never realy get around to it and knew id put it together the "right" way so he said i could buy it from him. SUPER stoked, this car will rule. other then one barely noticalbe ding--took me 3 months to notice it, its super straight and from what i can see rust free. the rundown 1953 ford customline 2 door sedan flathead v8 3 speed with overdrive--actualy works but needs a new cable having a few guys over to have a HAMB thrash in a few weeks so i should have some update pix for ya then. after that its onto a month or so of shake down driving and the long drive to back to the fifties anyways enough of my babbling heres some pix edit: sorry this first ones kinda wide for some reason he gave me a stack of photos of him working on the car and said hed try to find some more of when he first got the car
looks like its going to "go down" friday the 14th, ya got some time to make it over this way hmmm inspiration....
yeah its preety nice and yeah, sorry for forgeting jane did do the art i snaged it off one of that art threads. it will be similar but differnt, but that pic is definatly inspiration. i never see them choped with that nice of a roof line. tim
thanx, hopeing to have it on the road for btt50s. gota sell some plasma and some books for seatbelts and i think ill be alright
Maybe because it requires LOT off restyling to roof. I extend rear fenders too. I am glad you like it.
