Hot Rods Pix of '55-'57 Ford Gassers - the "other" Tri-Fives

Nah, those Fords look better when lower in the back. Its much better for weight transfer too. Even though tire technology is much better today than it was back in the late '50s-early '60s, ya still gotta get that horsepower to the ground without wheelspin.

 

I'm with you, Eli - I see it with radiused rear wheel wells and dropped down some. Even with the work it needs, I think $4500 is a good deal.

It includes a big block chevy . . . and I know that will piss off the purists, but hey, that sucker would howl with a big block.

 

Actually, the best part of the BBC is it could easily be sold to pay for Ford parts.
I did a Photoshop of a '55 Crown Vic Gasser, its in my Photoshop album. The car looks great IMHO.

 

Hahahaha . . . there ya go

...oh yeah, post #182. Damn, cranial flatulence again!

 

another cool wagon

 

I agree. My 2st car was a 56 Meteor, Canadian Ford that I don't have any pics of. So somebody has to post some of the Meteor only front grill and chrome.
My 1st was a 57 Meteor 2 dr imitation hardtop. Pisses me that I cant afford to buy either now.

 

mo progress!!!!!!

 

Looking good! I'm diggin' the hell out of this one! Keep 'em coming!

 

sorry to wh@r* the thread but you said you wanted more??so...
just a lil mo progress!

 

Hey it fits the thread. One question; where do you get that fuzzy paint?

 

thats a fuzy camera??????lol!!!!sometimes it shoots pics alright and sometimes it dont?????

 

Some guys have no heart.

 

No apologies necessary - keep the pics coming! Cars like yours are the reason I started this thread in the first place.

keep it up!

 

are you refering to me?

 

Actually he has a point.

 

Maybe your camera knows you're putting a BBC in the car and questions your "focus". Sorry, had to say that, I'm a diehard Ford guy. However, before I came to my senses I did have a '70 SS Chevelle with a 402 in it. Pretty good running motor for a Chevy....Uh oh, did I just stir the pot a little? Sorry Speedy!

 

and that would be?

 

I like em all! just as long as they are fast and kool! I had a race ready glide and some other bbc parts which made it a lil bit cheaper to do a chevy I had a complete 460 and c6 in the floor as well but cost...eek!?? if I won the lotto...@ the last swap meet a guy had a new crate motor 4 sale and @ the sale price!id prefer to have one of these!
but.... i didnt have your wallet with me!lol!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I'm saying you had a point. I like Ford motors in my Fords and Ford motors in my Chevys....did I type that out loud?

 

hey rat, i like your wagon

 

ohh ok alls cool

 

thnx man I think my buddy came up and bought those glass fenders from ya!right?

 

yeah i know he was from ky did you end up with them?

 

I drive a 6.0L diesel excursion and own a 88 mustang coupe,2000 mustang gt, but like em all even dodges! but id never put anything else in a mopar but a mopar!"Donnie baker" thats the state law!

 

Good thing you didn't have my wallet, all you could've afforded was a bean burrito and co-cola! I see your point though, I've been a Chevy and Mopar guy in years long past, but been into Fords for about 30 years now. My dream car is a '56 Crown Vic Gasser with a blown Cammer & top loader. I just need YOUR wallet!

 

nahh I decided to keep the steel ones but he sold the car and parts and they came up 4 sale again?
