Customs MY FIRST CAR!! 53 Ford

Cool story! And thank you!

 

Just got back from a lil cruise with the ford! Ran good for how hot it is here. Its about 90

 

Fantastic! You've got a great attitude compared to most kids I've met your age. You've got a good eye and I wish you and your dad all the best with your build.

BTW, kudos to your dad for letting you have such a kick ass car for your first ride! Mine was a lame '78 Corolla!!

 

Nice ride, and good luck with the project. You will learn a ton and have a leg up on your peers that are into cars because you'll actually understand how it all works. Back when computers didn't control things, they built everything better and with more mechanical parts. The more you learn about these old machines, the more you'll appreciate cars in general. Hats off to your Pops for letting you into the hobby early and giving you a good foundation. Cheers!

 

im picking up a all original 54 ford next week, its a really solid car, not sure if the 6 runs or not but im taking a weeks vacation from work and try to get it started and in drivable shape, photos as soon as i get it home, whats the difficulty level in chopping the top?

 

Sounds awesome! Please dont chop ! They looks soo coool with the roof left alone! Unless that is what you want! I want to see pics !

 

im thinking the same thing about the stock roof,just curious about the chop, some chops i have seen look real good and some real bad. just curius on the right way and the wrong way.

 

I really like this !

 

Whats not to like there?? It's a slick family hot rod with some custom flare. I dig!

 

That is what I was thinking!

 

^^^ Thats a good looking car up there... Simple and clean.

 

Its how I want mine to look!

 

'53 is a nice looking car to start with. Good luck with your build.

 

Thank you! Your truck is sweet!

 

Digging that 53. Wouldn't mind running one of those at some point! Gotta get my Stude fix outta the way first. Keep up the good work man

 

Thanks!

 

Yep, that '53 looks great. It had the bullet delete center which was an aftermarket item- I do know that Cal Custom made at least some of them. I've had my eye peeled for a while for my '53. It would be great to run the bullet for a while and switch it up for a bit as well.

 

Ya me too ! I really like the look of it!

 

Try this one for size....that will get ya going.

 

Scott!! That is sweeet !

 

Stance is everything man...no bags...static drop...jamco is a good source for the suspension...just my take...

 

Same here ! No bags .. just lowered a little bit.. Your ford is awesome! Thanks

 

Your first car is special, keep it forever. I bought my first car in 1971, a 1958 ford, I was 13, paid $150 for it and I still have it today. I made a promiss to my Dad that if he let me buy the 58 I would keep it forever and I will ! So good luck with your car and most of all enjoy it with your Dad!

 

Im sure you'll have a good lookin Ford. You seem to have the right idea '53 body style ford is one of my favorites.

 

Hahahha! Yes .. My fav body style for the early 50's

 

I like it!

 

Thank you!

 

jason im so glad your enjoying your first ride! and congrats on the first car show with the old girl.great aint it!! i bet you have a hard time going to sleep at nite now. i know i did when i got my first car. built that car a 1000 times in my head just lying in my bed.lol.and you got a great bunch of guys that have your back here on the hamb.now go give the dad a big hug and tell him you love him.he deserves it.

 

Hahah I do sit there and build it 1000 times! And yes my Dad does deserve it he works his ass off for my family so does my Mom! And thank you for watching my thread and having my back! I cant wait to get my new wheels ( chrome steelies )

 

Good to see this car back on the road. I have pics of me at 12 years old next to my '53 Mainline 2 door sedan, which I still have. Should look real nice with the chrome wheels on it.
