    Well I figured I'd make a thread to show my slow progress of my car.

    Watching other guys build their cars is my favorite thing to do...other than work on my own, of course. Looks like you've got a nice clean beginning, with some of the hard work already done.

    What do you plan to do first?

    First step finish get it running "distributor, plug wires, fuel pump, Starter, Ex. manifolds" Then it should be a runner.
    Step 2 make it a reliable enough for a daily driver
    Step 3 Start the body work :D

    LeDevil , I like the 53 a lot ! I p***ed up a 53 Custom line with the 6 cyl and 3 on the tree for my 55 Fairlane fordor with a Y block . The 53 needed a lot more metal work than mine but I wish I had bought the 53 instead .
    I really want to see what you are going to do with yours . You are already making me jealous for having that 53 ! Keep us posted on your build and take your time to do it right and safe !
