    Finally got my '54 Customline on the road after over 3 and a bit years. It's not completely where I'd like it, but man.......feels so good to be driving her again!

    Thanks to all who helped and contributed along the way!

    Here she is the day I handed over the cash.

    Really cool! But your '54 has a '53 frame, front suspension, and engine!

    I have a '54 Ford Coupe, the fourth Coupe in 11 '54 Fords! Study as I have, I really did not know that! Thanks!

    Extremely clean job, inside and out, by the way...
