Hello everyone. Names frank and I just picked up a 53 ford with a 6 inch chop I believe . It has a 390 with a c6 in it. The interior is gutted and the body needs a lil work but it runs and drives and to me it's beautiful. Well I need help on figuring out how to do the back glass? Also e grill is off a Buick I believe and any help on making it look better? Heck any help on anything you see would be most appreciative. If anybody is in my area and would love to help I would gladly love that. I have a cheater system NOS kit brand new I could barter with for some work. Anyways a lil about me I just finished my service with the army ( disabled combat vet) 2 tours and am a family man and I finally am able to get the chop top I've always wanted. And you for listening to my story. Take care and hope to hear from all you guys on here..
First off thanks for your service! It runs and drives? I'd say drive, make sure it's safe worry about the other stuff when you have the money, time, experience to do it yourself! Myself 2x CIB, 3.5 in IQ and 27 IED's! HooAh!
Right on guys and yes it does drive very well actually. I have pics on my profile but can't seem to load it on a post reply. If you can check it out there until I can figure it out that would help out a lot and thank you guys for your service as well.
Welcome and thanks for your service. Good luck on your car. I'm not real familiar with these Fords but a sugestion would be a rear window roof section from a 49-51 ford and lay it down and eliminate the curved 53 window. Just a suggestion guys. Pat, Disable combat vet. 1st Cav. Vietnam
Thank you. I do drive this thing almost everyday. Gas milage does suck I must say but you can't put a price on happiness... Lol
