1957 Ford Fairlane 500

She is a bit of a rustbucket, but shes from down south, all the rust on her has came in the last 10 years from her sitting outside in a field. she was in an accident back in the 60s according to the original owner, but it was fixed improperly with only bondo on the rear quarter.

 

i just realized i posted this in the wrong part of the forum...

 

I HAD 3 DIFFERNT 57 FORDS BACK IN THE DAY WHEN THEY COULD BE HAD FOR A COUPLE
OF BILLS

 

thank you, they are such wonderful cars

 

Give her some love and drive the wheels off of her . Get a aluminum radiator or one with that has end tanks . Those long top tank flex and pop loose in the middle.

 

ive learned from my brother and dads projects to always replace the radiator, you only need to have the radiator pop once to know to always replace it

 

Don't forget to check the drain tubes for the cowl. They will rust out the floors and other parts quickly.

it seems someone already got in there and fixed them.... the rubber is all intact.
