Saw this forum through the 1954ford site and thought it was really cool, so i decided to join. Im 22 & got a 54 ford customline 2dr. that i am currently working on and trying to make a mild custom everyday driver out of it. So far its in peices but you know how it goes...

*Here is when i trailered her home. It was an az. car. straight 6 with 3spd overdrive. Parked since the mid '70's. Only had small amount of rocker rust that i patched up and surface rust that was sanded off.

You've got a nice solid car to start with, should make a fun driver. These cars handle pretty well in stock form with just a rebuild of stock suspension and an upgrade to modern shocks and radial tires. Not to hard to put disc brakes on the front. You're really lucky to find one with the chrome that good.

Welcome from just west of you in Poormona! Nice Arizona find! I love the patina on that! I would try to keep that baby as original as possible, but of course its your car and your gonna do what YOU wanna do, just my opinion.Good luck!
