1952-59 Ford FNG here.

Just bought a 1953 Customline (won't get if for about a week)
Bought it to get my son involved and something for him to drive. (Lucky spoiled kid... Wish I had a dad like me.

I'll try to figure out posting pics.

First project will be to lower. Thinking Aerostar springs and some blocks in rear.

 

lots of advice and many ways to lower it...... Just ask away for suggestons! Many fine examples and pics on this site, check out the albums from our members.

Thanks a million Jeff! That's mighty kind of ya. It's funny, stuff like that (the aforementioned) is a piece of cake for me, but I'm just a rookie when it comes to mechanics and such. I really appreciate everyone's advice (and patience) here- priceless, fellas!

 

Welcome. There's a great group of guys here to help you out with your ride.

Welcome to the group, this place is the best for advice on anything that you are doing to the car. I pretty much use this as the main go to for all my questions. I hope your online car buying is better than mine was, I had no idea about the mess that I would end up in but its been the most rewarding frustration that I've had in a while.

 

Welcome also what I really like about these old fords is ease to work on. and not a lot of folks have them at the shows. tons of 32 34 40 fords, 54, 5, 6, 7 chevys. Anyway good tohave ya and looking forward to see the work on you newbe FOOooord
