I spoke with Larry right after the auction. He seems pretty excited about the GS. If anyone has the resources to properly preserve or restore the...
Those look like Edmunds to me. Today has been such a mind-blowing day. So happy to see this car.
Mooneyes used to sell frenching buckets for '52-4 Fords, but I can't confirm that they fit olds lenses.
Are you talking about the roof rail seals? The rubber weather stripping that slides into the top that the windows seal against? I know they make...
I don't know about aftermarket borg and beck pressure plates, but you should be able to chase down a used OE Ford one and have it rebuilt. You...
I'm a big fan of using the later valley pan and converting that to PCV. I'm not a super big fan of the side mounted road draft tube. Primarily...
I'm running f78-14s and I'm not that into them. I stumbled into these vintage chrome 14 inch wheels, so I was kind of stuck. I should throw down...
I've got 4 inch blocks and naturally dearched springs and can attest that fixing a flat on the side of the road is a PITA. Changing a rear tire...
You can drop the front with springs and A-arm spacers, and the rear with blocks or de-arched springs. Dropped spindles are cool, and probably the...
I've been in your shoes, and it's a fun place to be. The downside, you don't need to go for broke immediately. I'd buy the nicest car you can, and...
Man, I dig the new paint! What shade of white is that? Is that pearlescent, or is it just the camera and lighting?
The front fenders, inner fenders, hood and splash apron.
Hey! Love your build. Judging by the air deflectors, I'm pretty sure that's a '54 ford doghouse. I think '52-3 are the same, and '54 are different...
You scored on those doors. The vent wings alone (those appear to be the early stainless ones) go for stupid money. Good luck with your build!
Yo! Love '52-4 Fords. I like how your build is taking shape, and I hope to see you around this summer!
I mean technically Ardun heads are hemi heads (arguably (and probably really) the first appearance of hemispherical combustion chambers in an...
I'm running a 292 with a t-5. I love y-blocks, but if I had more sense I would have used a different powerplant. I can justify my car getting...
If your radio is from a '54, I could use one. I'm trying to go back to stock.
My dad is running a pair on his coupe and we have no complaints. They drive really well, and they look good. The rubber is WAY softer than the...
I *might* still have a straight but rusty one. I'll take a look in my shed.
@voodookustoms, you can also knock the spring pocket out of the control arm, and space it out. Thats a pretty common trick with '54-6 ford front...
It looks like an amateur restoration. I'm surprised the ford store that ordered it didn't just grab a D code car and slap a puffer on it, that is...
Considering the fact that '55 fords have a fairly robust IFS to begin with, why would you want to go MII? They do handle better and easier to bag,...
Woah, I thought that was for the whole t-bird, which I thought was pretty fair. Paxton stuff is really not that expensive, and Ted Eaton seems to...
Are you running dropped springs? 3 inch blocks shouldn't rub a driveshaft tunnel at all. I've had 4 inch blocks in my car, with aged springs, and...
The Ala Kart IS for a fact the only car that had a snowballs chance at winning 3 AMBRs. It is also the only car in the history of AMBR to win two...
Oh no for sure I agree. The paint looks great. I just have a bias for '54 fords in white primer ahah
I was kinda hoping you were gonna leave it in white primer! Looking good man
Stock carb is gonna be an ebu Holley "94." Love 54 fords! I would say you bought it right. 239s aren't the best engines though, and if it's been...
My instagrammy handly is ReverbSplash. Choppy pixxx, car show pictures, shout outs to friends and desert shots are my specialty.
