Customs 1957 Ford Ranchero (Mild Custom - Facelift)

Johnny and Carol do some nice work!

 

Thanks Man!
Im happy I went with a different tire on the car - so much better!

 

Thanks!

 

For sure! You dont need to do much to them.

 

I dont know any information other than burgandy with a little metal flake in it... sorry.

 

Thanks Mike - Re-chrome is on the list of "to do's".

 

Thanks Stude!

 

i don't know how i missed this thread, especially for how much i like rancheros. i have to say you are doing one fine job on this car. keep up the great work because now i can't wait to it finished.

 

Beautiful car, you are doing it justice with this rebuild.

I have not seen it mentioned, what engine is in it? Y block? (I hope)

Can't wait to see it in finished paint.

 

Thanks man!

 

Thanks! I wish it had the Y-block - It has a 302 / C4 set up.

 

WOW! That pearl is sweet! Im realy diggin this!

 

Thanks Nick - The dash credit goes to LazyV8 here on the H.A.M.B.
I just sanded and prepped it.
I love the way it turned out!

I am building a 57 Ranchero and am looking for the 1957 Edsel taillights -know of any??
Best of luck with yours - it looks great.

 

i really wanna see some more pics and updates, its been months!

 

Amen luvzccr! We need updates!

 

Updates soon! It will be at my shop to get finished up and painted here in the next few weeks! Stay tuned!

 

Oh ...and we're gonna have a surprise for all you air bag guyzzzzz...muhahaha!!

 

Love the car. Rear suspension killer! Left just enough room in the back for getting groceries!

 

Damn, I have been thinking about this car lately. I'm glad to see all the work on it so far.

Big surprise? Hmmmmm..... in typical HAMB fashion you have decided to make it a GASSER? Or you or going to have a contest to name it?

Im hoping air ride delete, add hydro for that old time custom feel.

Anything you guys do will probably kick ass, just like the rest of the car so far.

 

Nitro, Your Ranchero is coming along just great. Love the upholstery detailed/painted dash... . . etc etc. Can't wait for the finished product !

Love it Bad ass

 

Man how I ever missed this I will never know but I am really glad I found it! I used to drive past this car sitting in vacaville almost weekly. I have wanted to buy it sooo bad! The guy I picked up for work lived down the street and said the owner would never sell it. Then bam gone. Iam super stoked to see that you have it and all the outstanding work you have done! Rad! At least now I can stop wondering where it went. I wanted it bad. Subscribed cant wait to see the finished product. As for more history on it try NailheadBrent he may know who had it then. I cant remember if I ever asked him about it or not. I do know there was an unbagged one on rambleton way but Im pretty sure that was a different car.

 

New wheels/tyres, Dash and trim look brilliant, can't wait to see this finished.

 

any updates? is this truck gonna be at santa maria this weekend?

 

I was just going to ask for up dates too!

 

the car looks good, i love it aired out, looks like tahitian red, cant beat it.
