Customs 1957 Ford Ranchero (Mild Custom - Facelift)

Dave - There is some talk of panel work on the roof - still on the fence with the rest of the body - but we are going to dress it up for sure.

 

Thanks!

 

Thanks for the kind words - Im really liking the dash! LazyV8 deserves 100% credit on that - I was just a helper last night.
To your side note - I really enjoy seeing the builds and tech stuff on this site - unfortunately sometimes it drifts away to "filler" or complaining about car shows - That crap gets old after awhile.

 

Love it looks awesome

 

Nitro that dash is right out of the past . I like it alot!!!!!!!!!!!! I remenber a kustom painter from 1960 in lawrence ,kansas by the name of king george ii doing cars like that .he kept a midwest boy dreaming.

 

Sweet re-build so far man, cant wait to ee it finnished. Subscribed...

Thanks!

 

Spinner - You should see the dash in the sunlight, The gold pearl comes alive!

 

Thanks Man!

 

Got the car home last night to do some work there...
we put on the new wheels and tires. I think Im in love!

 

That's lookin pretty good!

 

Great looking Ranchero!! Thanks for posting all of the progress pictures! I do have a question for you though, I see the tailgate handle has been removed, what are you going to use to latch the tail gate? Also, what are you going to do with your old wheels and tires?

thanks,

 

Amazing looking Ranchero! That dash it out of this world. I love it.

 

OH MAN.

I had a chance to see that dash in person at Sac and I was very impressed. The pictures just dont do justice. The fades are amazing. I saw Brandon but he was busy.... Ill have to high five and hand shake him on Saturday.

Car looks good TJ. Or is it a truck?

 

I love those rear wheel wells. This car looks great slammed.

 

great job so far

 

Thanks Hivolt - As of now the tailgate has a small latch on the inside of the bed that slides left to right that locks it into place. I need to track down the rest of the original tailgate interior mechanism and try to use those componets to be able to open it from the inside of the gate.
The wheels and tires im going to sell after it gets painted.

 

Thanks man! It was good to meet you yesterday.

 

Thanks!

 

Thanks Sprout!

 

Yup...i'm still in love with this car.

 

good wheel/tire choice, it all fits within the era/theme of the truck. Nice!

 

I know it's been said plenty but.....awesome ride Nitro! Just freshening up my Rancho with the same tail lites and some shaving...cant wait to see it finished!

 

Nitro, Ranchero is looking GREAT ! Love the new wheels and tires - simple but clean. The stance is right on for a mild Kustom Ranchero. Looking forward to your next progress report.

Dave

 

Wow! Everytime I check back on your thread I'm even more amazed at how awesome looking your Ranchero is becoming.

 

I love it!!! looks tough.

 

Great choice on the grille, luv the stance!

 

This is too rad! I love the color and can't wait to see the interior! Keep up the good work!!!
