Hot Rods Lets see some 52-54 and 55 Ford 2 doors

I'm building a very stout 300 Ford 6 Inliner that well won't be naturally aspirated, and also have plans for a new shop Hot Rod. After watching one of those goofy build shows on TV, I realized that the 52-54 Blue Oval Platform would be perfect. I know the 52-54 are one platform and the 55 is a total diffrent one, so I don't need someone telling me that. The 55 is close enough to the same look I'm going for, so if you have a cool one, lets see it. I am leaning toward a 60z g***er style with the big 6 and a Top Loader 4 speed. Thanks in advance!

 

Check out JeffB2's Social Group,a lot of 52-59's, HRP

THANKS HRP, will do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Not a 6 cylinder but cool none the less. HRP

 

Thanks HRP, a whole lot of inspiration in those pics, exactly what I'm looking for thanks again. Any more of the blue one?

 

The blue car use to belong to a Hamber but I don't remember who owned it. HRP

 

Another one,,HRP

 

Thanks HRP, I'm just seeing it now. So I'm thinking one with my blown 300 6 cylinder and a stance like that should make a great conversation piece.

 

C'mon guys there has to be more out there than these fine examples provided by our good friend H.R.P.

 

Bttt.

 

My sisters 53 coupe

 

Perfect brother, thank you!!

 

My pal Len is resurrected this '54 after sitting in a junk yard for 45 years,,I watched this car run at the local drag strip when I was a teenager.

It originally had a 390/4 speed,,,

Len is building it to be a street car and due to having the bones in his left leg fused due to a horrible accident it will have a automatic transmission. HRP

 

heres my 53

 

Thanks HRP, hope your friend has a full recovery and gets well fast. Is he putting the 390 back in with the auto trans?

 

here is my 54 a few months ago, it's a daily now but still rough, it's getting there....

 

Smokin bulletproof, nice shots brother!! Tell us about the drivetrain.

 

Thanx sobpunx, enjoy that DD, looks good- takes time don't give up!

 

Lots off good influence, different stances too thanks guys I really appreciate it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

He's as good as he is gonna get,,this happened 30 years ago,,it ain't a G***er style but I'll post a photo of my wife's wagon. HRP

 

I have a few in the archives. There was one in particular I was looking for, but i cant seem to find it. Might be on my other computer.

 

Not the style of build you're going for but here's my '52





I've seen a couple of these cars with raised rear wheel openings but keeping the square shape instead of round, looks really good. They were on customs but I think the treatment would look equally good on a hot rod.

I can dig up pics if you want.

 

T t t. . . .

 

Nice pics George thanks, Squablow- incredible as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Mrs. HRP has one sweet wagon too my friend!!! Got room in the back for my 2 Bulldogs as well

 

jjk looks like your sister has a 54 cpe

 

This is my 53 that I built and drove in high school. Flipped spindle supports and de-arched springs, in the weeds is where it's at. That was 1960. Got a real spot in my heart for 52/53s.

These are some of the sweetest fords I've seen!
