Projects Fairlane 1957 "Mexico Kustom"

Hambers greetings, I'm back here to show some progress in my ford, here are some recent photos, I hope this does not end Tread as above, let us respect each other and have some fun.

 

good progress. not liking the bumper but it's what you like...good for you.

 

Where en Mexico?

 

Jalisco Mexico,

 

The old photos

 

Be Cool!

 

bumper is too heavy for the car

 

I dig where you're going, but as they have already said, that's a BIG bumper. Cool car though, orale homie!

 

Definiatly made some progress. I to am not 100% sure about the front bumper...is it finished or are you still working on the front? Do you have a straight on front view? Either way, good progress for sure.

 

Looks like you got the stance dialed in pretty good, I like it, good progress ..... a little too mucho on the bumpero, senior.

 

What is that bumper from? I'm guessing late '50s Merc, but could be way off base. I kinda like it.

 

not much, when strength-the bridge and put a big engine.

 

I like so I think it's a bit naughty but I like it, could make no changes would be minimal but I move away from the original idea I like.

 

I like it.

 

It looks mean and tuff. I like mean cars! GRRRRR!

 

is a mixture of a bumper 1956 Mercury and the original of the Fairlane

 

Fat Bumper or not this probably one of the coolest cruisers in Jalisco so I gotta give you that. Maybe a rear bumper in the same style to give it more balance. Se mira muy pesado en frente que no?

 

That bumper will be the first thing people see when you are driving, Maybe it will keep some suv from pulling out in front of ya! peace

 

if you are right, I'm preparing the rear bumper, soon put photos

 

Looks pretty slick, You've made a lot of progress, keep up the good work !

 

more old photos

 

Love the seats those spider webs are sick.

 

That's awesome.

 

Man. that black satin is cool, I never should have painted my Olds

 

Hey, you've put in so much work already, why not ditch BOTH bumpers, roll the pans, and put in a simple bar grille after frenching the headlight and taillight housings? Then keep on working the body and paint until you can paint it super glossy black.

If you can't picture where I'm heading with this, think of the Von Hunter/Ron Sweeney Ford from Oregon that was just restored. It was a Car Craft top 10 in 1964 I believe, and admittedly, has a chopped top and blue paint, but yours could be just as stunning.

Maybe someone on the HAMB has pictures they could post of this car or similar ones to give you ideas.

 

Great job on that car, lots of work from such a rough and incomplete starting point. Maybe if parts of the bumper were painted it would blend a little better, I don't think it is too bad. Love the spider web upholstery, it fits well and I haven't seen that done before.

-KK

 

Hey I make piston bats that would look great on your package tray. Just came to mind your ride kinda reminds me of the batmobile! Think it's cool. will it have any pinstripng or does it???

 

awesome car..

 

that bumper makes the car look like it's gonna eat ya! sweet.

 

SWEET
I'm iffy on the front bumper but I can see it chromed with a proper matching rear bumper .

What did you rob the front disc brakes off of ?
