59 ford custom

Leave the handles....if you want a two door buy a two door! I once saw a guy take a '57 Chevy 4 door hardtop, weld the rear doors and shave the rear handles. The dumbass didn't swap out the front seat so there was no way to get in the back seat unless you crawled over! At the end of the day the guy still had a four door.....only now it was F'ed up.

Four doors are cool, lower it, drive it, enjoy it!

 

that is the coolest grill ever! what is ducktail?

 

The grill is a must along with fender skirts.

 

The last weekend in September in Gas City, IN. The same weekend as the James Dean Run in Fairmount, IN, about 15 miles south. About 2500 cars and a lot of fun. There's a web site with pictures from the last couple of years. A real good time.

 

too cool!

 

i just put a new carb on the slorider! 250$ orielly 600 holley, it was perfect out of the box and i am very happy.

 

oh yeah, its awsome!

 

come on lets talk late 50s customs!

 

ok if you have a ballast resistor on a old ford and you put some pertronix in it you need to bypass the block. the car runs awesome once you do!

 

messed around with the rear lights,whatcha think?

 

Cool. I like '59 Fords, stock or custom you can't beat 'em. And don't listen to 60 he can't read or count. Lol

 

60 is ok with me! he respects the skirts!

 

I dont like your tail lights at all they look a lot like post #128 and that guys a loser!
Hahahah Hahah how ya been bud? Hope all is well

 

i knew you would check in dan-o! whats happening with your ford lets see some new pics!

 

Gotta respect the skirts!

 

R-E-S-P-E-C-T! name the car Aretha!

 

Just got done reading your through all your post's. I dig everything but the lake pipes. No offense, I think bellflower's look better on late 50's cars. Gave me some good inspiration for my 59. Gonna definatley, lower mine. Dont know if the Astro springs will work on a wagon. Dig the skirts. Saw them on e-bay also for a $100. Also dig the flake. Gotta find a new exaust manifold for mine before I do anything else...

 

Sweet car! I love the look you got going there!

 

got some air shocks so we can load her down on the hiway! put a airtank in so we can drop her when we get where were going and air her back up for the ride home!

 

pump her up again and home james!ps dont drink and drive!

 

Here is my tail lights on my 59 custom300

 

What are those from? Looks great!

 

cgkidd those taillights are awesome ! what did they come out of? they look kinda GM like,let us know!

 

59 or 60 Buick, i think.

 

60 Buick for sure, 59s didn't have the chrome accents. I'm looking for a pair now...

 

Wondering what size wheel/tires you have? I have stock 14' w/ P205's...Want to get some white walls but still haven't decided on a size wheel/tire???

 

I am running 205 70r-15 on my blue car. Also a shameless plug my 59 is up for sale if anyone is interested.

 

pretty sure this is the 59s first pass down the strip in its life! she loved it!

 

Grabbed me too - It's a fine looking car for sure.

 

what was her speed, if you don't mind telling?
