Got me a new...new to me '56 Ford Tudor Sedan. Here is what I know about it so far: Full Air Ride Suspension 4 Link in the rear GM ZZ4 motor GM TH350 ****** Aluminum 4 core Radiator Bucket Seats Like I said, this is what I know of it so far. I can say it is a very solid body, especially the floors and trunk. I got to get a battery on it, so I can raise the car up.....and damn it was a sum ***** to get it towed layin so low. I will be honest, I don't know **** about Air Ride....yet? I got a few pictures so far, but will post more later in the week. I plan on redoing the interior, like the paint color on the dash....which I am leaning toward a satin cream or ivory maybe. If you guys have any suggestions, feel free to chime in! Thanks in advance.
Nice start, looking forward to more pics. Come on over to the 52-59 Ford group. Answers to questions you don't even know yet. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/group.php?groupid=332
That is ****ing rad! I wish there were more '56 Fords out there being done. What are you're plans? Shaving the mirrors, door handles and changing the trim would be a nice start.
KillerHad an antique er Old guy told me ,I consider myself an old guy by the way,anyway he said son you have ruint a perfectly good car,I told him I thought the first thing you do with a car is take the bumpers and hub caps off his old buddie laughed his *** off Nice ford it dont need nothin
Nice luv the way it looks I've done tons of airride so if u have any questions u can pm me car looks *****in
I know that 55'-56'-57' Chevy's always get the glory (I do like the 55' & 57 models), but I also like the looks of the 55'-56-'57' Fords. I think it's because the Chevy's ran better and didn't leak (As much) oil. However... your problem is already solved, by running a Chevy smallblock & TH350! Does it have a Ford rear end? (My choice)
Is it factory stock ? My uncle had a new 56 Ford crown vic. I was just learning to drive and got to drive his a lot. Only thing bad about his is the 9 MPG! It was buckskin brown and white.---***tie pink-n-white. Great lookin cars when fixed up right.
Will definately hit you up....I know I will need a couple of things pretty quick. I will need both front door gl*** and a piece of side trim. I will PM you! Thanks bud
Knox....that is good to know, because I don't know **** about the air ride yet. It has 2 compressors and 2 tanks, with a 10 switch control panel. That is all I really know so far. I will probably take you up on the offer for some info help. Do you live in Dallas TX? Thanks again bud.
Not sure about shaving yet, but my first change is the interior color and door panels, etc. Thanks for the kind words.......
