It's pretty much the same exact car
That germ posted pictures of awhile ago,
I'm thinking custom grill and shaved door handles,
and maybe frenched headlights?

Cool. I looked for a 57-59 out here in PA but only found rusted hulks -- too much work for right now. I wanted one to DRIVE and USE. They make great cars AND trucks. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Hooligan-
They aren't STOCK ford taillights.
They are the custom lenses MOON sells-
And edsel wagon taillights look ALOT cooler!

Nice ride, sits nice and low.

A HAMB'er had posted here or on their website some good instructions on how to french those lites. As I recall it didn't even involve any welding.

Mike-
On the drive home I kept waiting to hear scraping noises...
And until I FORGOT to listen,
They never came!

And the frenched headlights?
Yep, that was Abe!
Abe's a GREAT guy!
It's also posted in the "tech files" now too!

Easy headlite trick; Remove the rims and replace with 1956 Ford F-100 chrome rims. I'm sure someone has a tech artical on it. Been doin it since 57!.......OLDBEET
