1952-59 Ford New 52

Hello All,

On June 1st i picked up this 52 Ford. It has a straight six with a three in the tree. Runs and drives great. Looking do do some mild custom touches, any suggestions? Not looking for anything over the top, cheap little mods to give it more of a look. What do you all think? The back seat has got to go. It is out of Ram truck and looks horrible. The front seats need some love as well. That is already planned.

 

Nice looking '52. Too bad the interior doesn't look as nice as the exterior.

 

Very nice! How about nosed, decked and shaved, dropped in the back a couple of inches, Foxcraft flush mount deep skirts. Add a pair of fuzzy dice and a mirror muff and you'll be stylin'. And yeah, those seats gotta go.

 

Nice! First custom mod I would do is to lower it. Lots of info on lowering in the FAQ section.

What's your location? There was a guy selling a set of factory seats on the Atlanta Craigslist recently.

Looks like your hood is sticking up a little in the corner,the 52-54 Fords had probably the worst hood hinges ever they need to be lubricated monthly or they can break next time you are at Lowes or Home Depot get this.

 

Sweet '52! X2 on what Jeff said a about lubing the hood hinges. Check the FAQ for tips. As for ideas, I'd definitely throw some whitewalls on and lower it a tad as well as making sure everything is working as it should. Good luck!
