After looking around for a suitable car for a while now, I finally put some money down on a nice 1952 Ford Customline. Its a bit more finished than what I was looking for, but I think its going to be a great place to start, and it hasnt been hacked up. I really wanted a shell that I could dump a built 302 into, but I guess Ill have to go the flathead route. (Im kinda excited about that) Let the games begin!
I had a '53 Customline years ago and was kinda bummed I had to yank the Flathead out (crank was WASTED when I got it). I went the 302 route and had a lotta fun doing burnouts though! Drive the flatty 'til it takes a dump, then decide. -ns
Im going to start with smoothing and lowering. Im going with a mild custom, cl***y and smooth. Ive never started a project this far done, so I get to drive her while I work. Ill keep you guys posted!
