Wifes Edsel Longroof, Outa the body shop.. lookin sharp.

after 2 weeks of thrashing to get it in the Toppers show in Fargo last weekend. here it is, it didn't have color on it until weds and by 3pm Friday it was in the show. Still Need to cut and buff it, but its pretty much done on the outside... now to save for that Fat lucky interior haha... IT is the Stock Sunset Coral Color.. i know its a little odd, but the person before me had the firewall jammed and the front clip jammed already and i didnt want to blow it all apart. i think it looks good. Underneath its all stock but 1.5 coils cut and 3" blocks in the back. Bumpers are in the future for the car.

I wonder what a full headliner and interior for a wagon would run me.. I need to make the roundup sometime anyways.. =) This car is gonna break me.....

heres some pics...

 

That is AWESOME!!! I love Edsels and that is one of the nicest done long-roofs I have ever seen!

 

Wow Thats Nice! I Really Like The Odd Ball Stuff... Especially Longroofs.

 

Pretty cool! I have a soft spot for wagons and always wanted me one of those Edsels. Yours turned out real nice!

 

That lookls fantastic. I'm a sucker for wagons and I actually dig that color.

 

Cool car-I'm doing a 57 ranch wagon, and have toyed with what to do with that cove on the roof. That coral and black really works with a 50's car. As for a headliner, I am going to try to use that plastic corrugated sign material, -don't know what it's called, and shape it with a heat gun then cover it with new headliner material.

 

Wow!! That looks really sharp.

 

These pictures really dont do it justice.... it needs to be in the sunlight.. it almost most looks orange in these pics, but its much lighter in person....

 

Very nice looking!
It will be hard to miss at Back to the 50's.
Probably a lot nicer to drive down from ND than the modified!!!

 

Very very nice..it is a 58 which we don't see that often..it is coral and brown? Sally and I have a red and white 59 2DHT Ranger E400 we are preparing to paint jet black and turquoise, a stock combo..we have a 59 4DR. and have spied a 59 wagon at a local yard....

 

Wow, that is nice and I like the color combo.

 

The Modified definately wore me out last year.. but yea, this will be a little nicer. Id like to find one of those long Skinny underdash AC units to convert for this car. I see Vintage Air is selling a new Underdash hanging unit.

cant wait for the 50s...

 

Its Coral and Black... the wheels are the stock 14"ers with Vaphead spiders and Wheelkid Cal custom rings...

 

Knowing were the longroof came from to seeing your pics today a big thumbs up.Can't wait to see it in person.

 

That is dreamy.

 

Thanks Yblock.... its my leroy Tribute... hopefully ill have it back there in a few weeks, i wanna take it to Hazen the week after Prime Steel.

 

looks sweet. love the odd ball stuff to. especally on a wagon. too bitchen

 

It was good to see it outta the shop. I think it turned out well, too. Nobody believed us when we said it would be done for the show. But it was there! I'm glad you like it, cuz if you didn't, I'd have to take it off your hands....
now to get the hitch on there for the mod....

 

i know where ther is a 58 edsel 2 door hardtop 100% complete just waiting for a hook up and damm it lately i been seeing more and more edsels
i may have to go scoop that SOB up and give it the Kustomize it deserves

 

Sweet ride. I still have a hard time warming to the tailights in those cars. Great color scheme.

 

The taillights are my Favorite thing about it.... that and the speedometer.

 

And that is what really matters. Rock on dude, cool ride. Post a pic of that speedometer.

 

Damn, I love those tailights!
The epitome of the 50's!

I like it, specially cuz its a long roof. the color looks right on.

 

Maybe I am just "SLOW" but those ==wheel kid== rings are the first I have seen actually ON a car!!! Do they look as good in person as they do in the pictures??? I am a KNOWN sceptic, so when all the "hu-rah" came about from him making them I just didnt "bite" BUT DAMN!!!! they look BITCHIN!!! ...Ken

 

I saw it last week at the show.....nice job, looks cool.

 

The rings are much better quality than i expected.. and yes they look even better in person.

Highly Reccomended

 

Looks great....Love wagon's....and the fact it's an Edsel is awesome...

 

ya i watched this car come together. i like it very much, but its the smal details that make it stand out. to me its the shear defintion of "mild" custom

 

I want one and there are 2 Edsels about a mile and a half from me. 1 long roof, 1 more door. Don't know ANYTHING about them. I'll have to take pictures and ask about them. Maybe I can swap the guy for a truck I just picked up...more stuff in the yard! Yippeee!
