Projects 59 Ford, daily driver get's a shave!

So, me and my fiancee bought a new daily driver. '59 Ford Fairlane that was sitting in front of a house, fairly boring and kinda beat up..

 

Well..half a day later, we had reversed the shackles, kicked of the baby moons, ripped of the fenderskirts and made it a little more easy to look at...

 

I LOVE THAT NEW STANCE!!!
you lucked out man, that thing looks way bad***

 

Looks good Hank. I would of done the same exact thing. I can't stand the sight of an *** dragger with skirts on some cars.. Is that your '57 as well on the driveway?

 

Hey man, no not my '57, bought it for a customer.
Shaved all doorhandles, emblems and such of..Got a tube grille for it, and we'll primer it today. Can't stand red cars!!

 

Love it. Been looking for one..

 

Awesome ive always loved 59 Fords...I was digging the skirts but thats definately preference...What else do you have planned?

 

Bellflowers?

 

i've always liked liked these cars. looks good cleaned up. and looks way better w out the skirts. just something doesnt look right when the wheel opening is flared and then skirted. just dosnt do it for me. looks good now.

 

shoot... I was watchin' that car for months! Never moved... I figured it had a bad trans. congrats!

 

Well..we are planning to do a kinda wicked paintjob next winter or so, but yesterday we just shot it ruddy brown primer with a gold metallic top. I'll paint some long slick scallops on it in a few days and some subtle pinstripe on the trunk and hood.
Put a tube grille on it today. We'll put some lakepipes on it, and Lancer caps for this summer...Blankets and angel hair interior until we're ready, and have the time and money to finish it the way we want it to be..hard when it's a daily driver..We only have parts of the weekend to work on it..Anyways, i'll post some more pics shortly.

A little face lift over the weekend...Interior, lakepipes and Lancers comin up......

 

Lookin' good!

 

Looks awesome, I just have one stupid question though. What happens when you reverse the shackles?

 

had that same interior in my old nova back in the 80's and it was called foxy and tough as nails!

 

Well..the car get's about 1-2" lower, that's about it

 

I like the 59..Sits good and bar grille looks great..........

 

Got the interior in it finally, time for a scallop paint job this weekend...Started on the Model A truck project, and don't have time to mess around with the daily driver noo more

 

im lovin it! where did you get the grill!

 

Killer car!!

Beat up old car? She was cherry! You Cali guys are lucky *******s...

Nice car man.

 

A guy sent me a message here on Hamb. Had it down in San Diego.
They sell them new though as well!

 

Nice find and work. It is turning out great. Anymore pictures of the new paint job?

 

Been there, done that and got the tee-shirt.

When I reversed my shackles, I fergot to set the pinion angle and ended up scratching my head as I began to tear up universal joints on a regular basis.

 

Well, here's the interior that my fiancee got done last weekend, last night we painted some scallops kinda half ***ed and real fast. Some Lancers and pinstriping are coming up, then we're done for now....

 

cant say i love that interior but the paint turned out sick

 

Hahaha..well, it's warm inside that's for sure!
