PROJECT: huevos RANCHERO!

bought this ranchero about a month ago,slowly makin it my own! its got a 302 and a AOD

used the aerostar front spring trick but i took out half a coil just to be sure! and 4" blocks in back

check the grant wheel and harley floor mats! nope..
those had to go quick!

need to do some cleaning up in front. possibly 54 f1 headlight rings.

a little candy and a little lace and some ice pearl applied by the boss man Hollenbeck, sanded and rubbed and lookin purdy , ill post some better shots in the sun soon.





not a perfect car but a good foundation, older paint job witch is soso...
goin to the upholstery shop this next week for a white toneau! hopefully done for the asphalt invitational 08 .........

 

I'd drive it. Every day.

 

its replacing my 03 silverado!!! imma drive it everyday. who needs a payment anyway....

 

nice ride but i need to know what the silver spots are on the bed sides used for

 

I like it already! Looks good with the al***ude adjustment.

 

they are pop out tie downs! why anyone would hog out the side of a car to do that i dunno? ill have to deal with that later.

 

Before they fill the bed trim full of tonneau snaps, if that is where they are going to do it, I have many sets already with snaps or holes that I will trade you, plus cash, to save the good trim, if it is good..


Cool looking Ranchero. One of my favorite cars.

 

the trim is cherry ! send me some pics of the trim you have. and we will see...

 

57 ranchos rock. yours looks sweet.

 

When my 57 Ranchero had a tonneau the snaps were not in the stainless.
They were outside and over the edge a little. I filled all the holes this time
and went without it. Nice car

 

cool

 

Nice car! Is that a bed liner?

I've never been to hot on the tonneau covers. That's a lot of holes drilled into the body, but to each his own.

 

Looks awesome man. Have fun with it!

 

Totally sweet! Wish I had one in my driveway.

 

i might make a hard cover that hinges in the front,and then have i covered in either pearl white or just plain white vynyl. but i dont want it to look like a hard cover..... i want it to have snaps. either a few pleats through the center or three big diamonds ? i dunno????

 

Awesome! This is Ranchero day apparently on the H.A.M.B, 2nd full-size Ranchero posting today. Love it!

Be sure to get yourself listed with my club West Coast Rancheros...I need more 50's Rancheros in the group (my personal favorites since I got a 59 Ranchero)
