    Thought I would put some pics up of my 53 ford I'm rebuilding at the moment I got the car last year from the states dead stock and drove it around for afew months here's a pic when I drove it to the shippers

    So at this stage I started stripping it down and get the 4 link and bags done using Accuair

    Under carriage is all painted and rolled it out side to have alook I was thinking of driving it around for another few month but thought I would just finish it now
    So started getting it bare metalled and changing the head lights ,tail lights,grill and afew other little body mods

    Thanks to a fellow Hamber I got these 53 ford 2 door stainless trims and cut them down to suit the front wheel arch.

    The radio wasn't working so I thought of this the other night for my Accuair remote don't really like the look of the remote looks a bit new for the car so this is what I did.

  14. Great work on the '53! I keep getting some cool ideas for my Customline, I dig the headlight/taillight changes.
     
  15. Must be a mad man to own a white victoria.

    Loving the gold as a contrast color, cool build for sure.

    Great looking car! I am not sure why 53- 53 Fords are not mor popular, they make fantastic customs.

  25. 1953 Fords rock...had a Mainline with a flatty and Ford-O-Matic; great engine, lousy transmission. Like the tunneled tails. What are the headlamp doors from?
