been looking around on the net and about everything I find is god awful ****, anyone have any pics of good ones, or at least links to some?
` Edit: Hmm, it ain't sposed to be that squished. Have a bigger pic if you want it. Too big for HAMB.
i agree. i saw a pic of that one on here a few months ago. does anyone have more pictures of it? its perfect.
Hey Ron, haven't i seen your ride in a reader's section of some magazine before? The ones Fraz & old beet posted are super smooth though. I'm curious to see a post car chopped, I see lots of hardtops chopped, but no post cars?
uhhhhh......=mike='s car is a chopped post ..........i will try to see if i can find a pic of my chopped 54 post.....they are bad *** ........
haha, oh **** i just noticed it was chopped after I read your post. I'm a ****in' dummy....I guess that makes it a nice chop, doing it so it looks like it belongs that way. So mike, any info on the chop?
j, i've gota few around here somewhere i just can't seem to find 'em right now. are you gonna keep this car or are you just gonna finish it and sell it? i saw a coupla pics of it on here tha other day and for the $$$$ you've got in it i'd say keep it. sell the truck. the ford is cool and could be a nice car for you. focus my friend. i was gonna sell the plymouth as it sits but now i'm torn. i know if i sell it now to make $$$$ for the buick i'll lose money on what i have in it. so i'm thinking on keeping it and putting it to the side for a bit. the biggest problem is i've been thinking a two door conversion and carson top might be a good thing to do with it. i'm not into for much but in it's current state it'd be hard to sell and if i'm gonna finish it i want to do it my way. i'd say keep that ford as you will never get yourself into another one for the $$$ nearly as nice. and those cars look good chopped or not in my opinion. you could always go simple and do a dark metallic or your choice top with a pearl white body(reverse of most peoples thinking) and have a really nice simple attention gettting ride...ken....
Here's a few - maybe my pic of that Merc will look better uncompressed... <img src=http://images1.fotki.com/v3/photos/9/9586/123387/DSC03176-vi.jpg> <img src=http://images1.fotki.com/v5/photos/9/9586/123387/DSC03194-vi.jpg> ...this one is a favorite of mine... <img src=http://images6.fotki.com/v83/photos/9/9586/1018636/Dsc04325-vi.jpg> <img src=http://images5.fotki.com/v85/photos/9/9586/1018636/Dsc04327-vi.jpg> <img src=http://images6.fotki.com/v83/photos/9/9586/1018636/Dsc04328-vi.jpg> <img src=http://images6.fotki.com/v82/photos/9/9586/1018636/Dsc04329-vi.jpg> <img src=http://images5.fotki.com/v80/photos/9/9586/1018636/Dsc04330-vi.jpg> <img src=http://images5.fotki.com/v81/photos/9/9586/1018636/Dsc04331-vi.jpg> <img src=http://images5.fotki.com/v85/photos/9/9586/1018636/Dsc04332-vi.jpg> <img src=http://images5.fotki.com/v84/photos/9/9586/1018636/Dsc04333-vi.jpg> <img src=http://images5.fotki.com/v84/photos/9/9586/1018636/Dsc04334-vi.jpg> <img src=http://images5.fotki.com/v81/photos/9/9586/1018636/Dsc04336-vi.jpg> <img src=http://images5.fotki.com/v84/photos/9/9586/1018636/Dsc04393-vi.jpg>
[ QUOTE ] that cream hardtop is ****en ace. is that a victoria? what a perfect looking custom. [/ QUOTE ] Not a Victoria nor a Ford. It is a 53 Merc. The car used to belong to my good friend Chet Miller from Temecula, CA. The picture was taken at OC Fairgrounds Labor Day Cruise. Close enough to a Ford though.
[ QUOTE ] . [/ QUOTE ] Probably THE best looking 52-54 Ford I have ever seen. I prefer chopped tops, but this car looks great even without one.
Here's some fish eyelens of my 54....She's long gone now..Boy I don't miss her at all...I guess cause theres a ROADSTER being built in its place evel
