Finally Took Some Pics Of My 53

sorry there so big i havent mastered this site yet um feel free to photoshop it i want to lower it more and change the red wheels to black or radir wheels

i will also loose the skinny whiites for wides soon

i have the hood and all the gl***

dash is out im painting it

its got a sbc 350, 400 trans, ford 9 inch rear

i have to install my ron francis wiring kit, put in fuel lines, radiator hoses, finish my headlight buckets, and put the hood back on and im pretty much done

tell me what you think

 

...

 

... need new tail pipes too

 

engine bay

 

I dig it.. Nice.. Any plans on painting it? Or maybe suede it another color..

 

well once i change the wheels like maybe next winter

i think im gonna do like a maroon suede with a white roof

 

Those tail lights are crazy-sweet. What are they from?

Looks cool and clean.
I would keep the skinny whites, don't follow the herd.
Although I have wides on my '52 Customline right now.

well i dont think ill get wides till i get a set of mags although i got a set of '57 caddy hubcaps with bullets that just dont look right with the skinnies

 

Looks good! Nice proportions, Olds tailights looks great. Some kind of metallic paint would work, but loosing the red wheels is a good start... and please don't put skirts on it

 

the wheel color is going soon i hate red wheels with a p***ion


any one that will photoshop them a few different colors would be the man like black, lime green, those are my two but any colors you think would look good would be helpful


and i ****in despise skirts so forget that

 

Marroon wheels ok?

 

thanks for the photoshop i dont dig the wheel color or the scallops really but maybe with some other color wheels and no center caps if thats possible

 

bttt

 

Nice job on the bodywork.. Was there a lot of rust down low to deal with? Seems like all the 52-54 Fords are prone to rustout. Mine sure was!

 

well actually i bought the car as pretty much a Shell with the body work pretty much done which is good cuz i **** at it, the majority of the rest of the car was in crates and rubbermaid tubs


but yeah it has new floors and i believe the quarters were patched as well as the rockers

though the trunk is stock and has no rust

looks good man.. hope I get to see it up close really soon..

too bad you didnt need fenders.. I was at a sale today and saw several for the car..

Looks good!

 

I got a little lazy. So to make up for it, I did some quick variations.

 

I love those taillights. I put a set of those in a shoebox once. they have a 5" diameter (just close to that)

Sweet custom...keep us posted.

 

That's a difficult chop to proportion right, congrats on a good job. Where'd you get the 50 Merc window,,Longacres in Trappe?

 

just flame it!!! then its done...

 

oh man thank you so much that really helped me get a good picture in my head before i did something too drastic

no actually the guy i bought it off did the back window when he chopped it

but um, where/whats this longacres in trappe i live a mile from trappe and never heard of it? thanks, dan

 

There is only one word that describe that car. SWEET!!!!!

 

damn they look pretty cool on that shoebox

 

I was playing in photoshop with a pic of a 52 Ford like mine last night, I was trying to match the color of some of that cheapo Ebay auto paint... Dark Burgundy with a silver roof. 55 Olds headlight rings, '65 Corvair bumper for a grill bar.

 

Looks great! Maroon suede will look sweet...what about offsetting that color with a gold for the wheels and scallops?

 

wow that looks awesome thanks man!

Nice and clean chop. I like it.
