Customs ---Finally got myself a family car today---

A couple jugs of fuel, a tank of air for the tires and before I knew it I was on the freeway with about 35 miles to go before home with my new family car. Not quite sure what direction I am going to go with yet though, probably pretty mild.

 

She's a beaut'!

 

Congrats.Mild Kustom?Look at some of the little books from the 50's,quite a few cool moredoors.

 

Congrats, she's a beauty. Have fun with her.

 

Sweet. Lower it a tad, a little pinstriping, Olds Fiesta 'caps, a glass pack and she's good to go.

 

love it.

 

Good find.
I see it has duals with the flathead six....how does it sound??

Lots of possibilities for little touches ala the old days.

 

The manifold has been split and it has a pair of Smithys on it...they sound bitchen.

 

Coool...... enjoy.

 

A/C and new weatherstrips go a long way in a family cruiser, just sayin'

I agree with lowering and stripe it up, good mechanical service.

 

Nice family car! Beats the hell out of a mini van!

 

I need to get all new clips for the side trim. When the old owner took it off he broke most og them. Thankfully he didnt mess up the actual trim. I just found out that I am the third owner, the first had it for 58 years, the second for 2 years and now me.

 

ya sure ya dont want a mini van? jk its bad ass man

 

Looks great DC! Casny got one Saturday too! Can't believe two buddies got Shoeboxxes the same day!!!!! That's pretty cool! I think I would lower it and that's it!!!! Let me know when you want to bring it over. I have the room in my driveway. Call me...

 

I think I am gonna start with a set of skirts ( which I need to find ) and lowering it.

 

Damn Chris, that thing is clean! Can't wait to see a Y in it.

 

Liking the Flat 6

 

Ya, I was out at Mummerts shop on Sun and we were talking about that to. He remembers HURST making an adaptor to put a Y-Block into a 49-51 Ford.

 

Congrats Chris. Looks real good. Bring her by for breakfast Sat?

 

I know where to get those trim clips, but I forgot the name. I'll tell you how to get there at the Broiler Weds night.

 

If I can get off early I will be there.

 

Get out the sawzall (see my avatar) if you want a 2 person Coupe. Mine used to be a 4 Door. Whatever you do, it is one
nice piece to begin with.

Enjoy.

 

very nice! Congrats!

 

nice ride enjoy it

 

Nice shoebie Chris!

There are actually a few of those adaptors floating around. Seems like I've seen a couple in the HAMB classifieds, and on the 'bay...(I don't have one for you this time)

Looks like a good mate to your F-100...

 

Congrats, Looks like a good start.

 

Good looking car, nothing wrong with a four door!

 

Nice ride!

 

Great ride for family!! Nice work

 

You're stoked! Sweet little four door. I like the idea of lowering it, skirts and not going nuts on it. I sent you a message on Y-blocks forever. I live in Costa Mesa.
