    Picked up a new ride. 1954 Chevy 210.
    350/700r4 with a Mustang II front end.
    Lowered the rear 2"
    Will be installing the skirts, adding some pin striping, astros (maybe), and dialing in the suspension.
    Right now enjoying the ride. IMG_2338.jpg IMG_2340.jpg IMG_2341.jpg IMG_2290.jpg IMG_2289.jpg IMG_2219.jpg

    Thank you, gentlemen. and Ratfink is reading my mind. May go with pinner whites over the full on whitewalls. Looking at a Holly Sniper, set of headers and a cam to round out the drive train. Just picked up some factory back up lights along with the Lokar back up switch.

    Nice car, keep in mind that Mustang 2 IFS and electronic fuel injection are strictly off topic here...

    Of all the 6 cylinder Chevy's, I think the '54's are the best looking. You done good.

    pinner whites would be the way I'd go as well, but for a quick photoshop I just used the bare wheel from a Astro Supreme online ad.

    My first car in 1964 was a 1954 210 two door sedan and I've always had a soft spot for another 54, great looking car!

    Pulled the trans pan and addressed the leaks, lowered the rear with lowering blocks (not really happy with this may do lowering springs as the bushings and original springs are pretty shot)... and threw on the skirts.. Up next Astros...

    Agreed. Your Ford is stance perfectly. Around here the potholes are a bit terrifying..
