Technical 53 Cranbrook

I have a chance to trade one of my cars for a 2dr Cranbrook with 360/ 727 9in with 3:73. Does anyone have any photos of one customized? I am looking for ideas on what to do if I end up doing the trade.
Thanks

 

I just took a look on Pinterest. It ain’t pretty.

 

While I’ll admit not exactly a sexy car, they can be made into a neat little custom .

 

That Buick grille is just wrong on that car.

 

I cant find my pic of the Sniper - but you can bring it up - really good custom job on that body style - just a thought Jaxx

 

What's the trade bait ? Picture of both would help.......

 

As many times as I’ve heard his name, I still have no idea who Willy Nilly was.

Willy nilly = will he or nil he = will he or won't he meaning someone who does not know their own mind, or someone compelled to do something whether he wants to or not.

 

This is mine, I started a long time ago and never finished. Its a 54, but pretty much the same car.

 

I think the number of doors has a significant effect on the outcome.

Here is a picture of the aforementioned "Sniper". It's a '54, but '53's and '54's are essentially the same.

L:ike they say in the TV comercial : "What do you have in YOUR wallet?"

 

My 2 cents...
They can be very nice Customs. And with that engine/trans combo you have a good starting point.
How much work you want to do depends on you.
Here is a pic of my current in process 49 Dodge Coronet custom.
It started out just as boxy and stodgy looking as that Cranbrook.
It's all up to you..

I gave the '53-54 Plmouth a new look with the idea of a competitor to the T-bird or Corvette. This idea is shortened behind the door about 12”, sectioned 3”using the side wind splits to help mask the cut areas and chopped 2”.
