That could be my car, who knows?!
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] I installed 61’ Olds taillights tonight, buckets and all. I don’t believe I’ve seen them on one of these Fords before. I like it.
I've been researching the last few days and haven't found much. Has anyone ever slapped an SROD trans behind a 223? Any thoughts or tech info,...
I like 54's most out of the 52'-54' cars, but I like the earlier "side spear" trim that stopped at the door. I got a nice full set of 53'...
