Here's mine - took it down to bare metal / cleared it. Love your ride 1959 Fords are in my opinion one of the best looking vehicles ever made. I did a few other things since this pic. I can send you more pics if ya like. Good work
Where'd you pick up the skirts at? I've found some here and there but not in any decent condition. Post some pics of the flakin'!
I had the Moog parts # for the Aerostar coils and can't find it, surprise. I would lose my ass if it wasn't tied on. Anybody able to give a hand to a early Alzheimer dude? Thanx in advance. ~sololobo~
It's lowered 5". I flipped the shackles, did 4" blocks and for the front I bought some lowering coils from a place here in San Antonio - yeah I had to cut the floor and make a small little tunnel. And by small i mean the driveshaft was catching in an area right under the back seat only like 3" long and 4" wide. I trimmed that out and made a piece to cover it. It was more trouble than what it was worth- taking out the backseat and carpet was a nightmare.At that point I seriously thought about just air bagging the rear and making it an ass dragger. For the shocks I used toxic drop shocks.
The guy who i bought it from was trying to make a gasser out of it <<<????>>> yeah i know - nothing against gassers at all but i can post up some before pics when it sat like 7" higher - it looked ridic. didnt go with the car at all and has a terrible fail at it, he had the shackels flipped the other way so i flipped em back to factory or I assume the factory and it made it like 1.5" lower - and like i said nothing against gassers at all, they are great when done right this was a terrible attempt - looks 500% better now
ditched the pillar emblems and cleaned up the roof, good coat of white and now we are ready to frost this cake! this will be an all weekend project so stay tuned for some pics of me smilin or sanding it all down again!
a gallon of clear and 3/4 lbs. of flake! had to run and get more clear in the middle of the job. i walked into the paint store and the clerk says look at this guy! i was covered in flake.
