I used to like corny stuff too....in the the 4th grade.
not a fan of the Riv headlights and the hood scoops, but i kind of do like the 56 ford parking light housings used as taillights, even the trunk...
if you can't tell, i wouldn't worry about it. A lot of times you just gotta eyeball it!
on my shoebox i could reach my hand in there thru the grill and unlatch it...it's not the easiest, but can be done. My grill shell and grill...

here's a bootleg MS paint job, i did. tried laying out some scallop ideas, removed side pipes, and got some wide whites. photoshop would be nice
Maybe it's because I'm from NJ, and I naturally like gaudy customs. But I dont understand how so many people on here think this car is ugly. I...

hard to believe noone recognizes this radical custom.
this is a custom car and hot rod forum and people are hoping a STATION WAGON doesn't get cut up? I'm confused. Cut it up, its only a station wagon.
I wouldn't worry about it, register it with what you have and be done with it. You have a cool project there, it isn't a muscle car where numbers...
My mother had porta walls on one of her off topic cars a few years ago(beetle) they actually looked pretty legit, however, they chewed into the...
I'm assuming you're talking about the 49-50 style. and I know they make fiberglass ones, however i dont think so in steel. If they do, I'm interested!
looks like a nice car, love them coupes. have any plans for it? lower it? custom sidetrim? nice score.

lower the back, white walls, and hubcaps
personally, the only alternative that i like is 46-48 lincoln pushbuttons, and they only look good on a late 40s-mid 50s style custom.
yea you need 49-53 ford truck water pumps. they use the biscuit style motor mounts and not the dumb motor mounts that were used in ford cars 49...
i dig the shit out of them radiused wheel wells.
