Projects 53 Ford Sunliner 351W install

Well some more progress on the 53'...So gave the hood hinges some love hope it works out. The engine and trans are in! Coming together!!! I am really liking the color..Good chatting with you today Steve!!

 

The color is perfect! This car has been part of our lives in different ways for many years, and I always have fun talking about it. Shane, I am glad the old custom is in your capable hands!

 

The doors are shaved and back on lots a work! Having fun! Looking forward to hearing it run. Getting closer!!

Shane - the car looks great, just fantastic work. I am glad you have retained the 1954 Desoto grill, they are very hard to find. The blue steering wheel is perfect!

 

Thanks Steve! The grill is looking pretty good have it mounted in there pretty solid and worked out well. The steering wheel inspiration came from a photo I uploaded to your thread years ago. Not sure if it was blue or not but trying to keep a little in line with what this car used to be.

 

A bunch more work done! brakes bled, clutch assembly done and the throttle...and a bunch of electrical! Wish I was better at it that than I am. Google is my best friend LMAO! I will not be using this dash this for the final set up. This set up is for engine brake in and getting on and off a trailer to get the glass and exhaust installed. The green dash is for final wiring and install.

 

Nice work.

 

Thanks!

 

Its been awhile... this is from last year. The headlights can be removed from the front and not through the wheel well. Turned out pretty good.
