New ride....57 Longroof yeah !!

If you would have bought a Ford with 8cyls, that wouldn't have been an issue.

 

Frank..!
Any pictures...?
Was hoping to see her this weekend!

MAIKI

 

Ohhhh nooo, see he's PROMISED and PROMISED and P*R*O*M*I*S*E*D me pics.

RAGDOLL! Get a rope.

 

I could see that becoming a boulevardo style ride with a good slamming & a flake roof

 

Great looking car. I am kinda partial to wagons. What size are those Supremes I was thinking of some with skinny whites for my Nomad.

 

15's.

Jacko, don't worry. She's a REAL cool Bellflower babe. ALTHO, I wouldn't flake her roof.

Sometimes, LESS is more ya know?

 

yeah, I know. It is a beautiful looking car. I'm just a sucker for flake.

Frank has himself an absolute winner with that longroof. Nobody should be alllowed to own 2 kick butt cars! (not while I have diddly squat & the xrate is 92c to the USD ).

C'mon ratb, pics!!!

 

*walks in grinning and swinging the end of a rope around* Did someone say rope?

Dear Frank,

We have been good HAMBrs all year. Please post pics of the Longroof.

Sincerely,
RagDoll

 

Oooooooooooh! Hahahaha, never piss off an Aries.

 

Man ! Nice car ! Although, I do think it will look better without the tint as you have planned. Congrats man !

 

Yes, let's be an INDIAN and not a CHIEF. =/

 

Very true but I do like my six if that counts! Everybody expects the 302 or 289 when the hood gets opened and I dig the suprised look and telling people no when they ask if I am going to put a V8 in. Maybe a bigger six out of a granada or something but no V-type motor in this one.

 

damn... lost another nice ride to the aussies.. bastards.. haha.. j/k.. congrats!!

I ran an inline 200 for YEARS. Thing is, that 6cyl cars had cute little 4 lug axles and spindles.............where as the 8cyl cars had 5. Kept me out of a LOT of fancy wheels because of the 4 lugs.

 

Probaly would not be to hard or overly expensive to switch over to five lug though. I would like to do a mustang II frontend and then possibly a nine inch out back if I could find one for the right price. I know where there are a couple Lincolns with disc brake nine inches at. Dont know how wide that would be though as I dont want to have to narrow a rearend. I just realized I am threadjacking so I am done in here unless its about the 57, thanks again Brandy!

 

Sweet color, love the interior and the console looks great You should leave it. Plenty of room for an equalizer, and some really cool digital gauges

 

Thankyou for removing the console,
Awards to you...

 

Ok guys here's the scoop.

The ride has landed, I collected her late last week and of course, as you would expect, it has started to PISS down with rain just after I collected her.

Notwithstanding that, I had the usual work bullshit to contend with and only just now have had time to snap a few pix.

In order to get her registered, I had to give her a slight altitude adjustment (they're hard on ride height down here) and tidy up some minor things underneath her but she's almost good to go for registration.

Yes I think the tint is gonna have to go.....and I think I'm gonna add a period underdash A/C unit as the one I have looks kinda TOO new....if ya know what I mean !

She drives really well, blows the A/C ice cold and never runs hot and is as smooth as silk !! Krazy !!

So here she is, enjoy the pix....

Rat

 

Nice ride, like your ideas about the tint and a/c otherwise shes perfecto!

 

Beautiful car Rat. Hard to improve on something that looks perfect.

I LOVE the Prom Queen.
It's a SICK affair.

A SMALL price to pay for such beauty.

 

*puts rope away* She is a beautiful beautiful thing. Thanks for the pics. I hope you love her. You almost had stowaways in that car.

 

HAHAHAHA! All I heard was stowaways in the car and HAMB..........BAM! Then it dawned on me. Soon enough baby girl, soon enough!

 

AWESOME...!
Thanks Frank, can't wait to see her in the flesh...!
(heading to Bright? cos I gotta get calendar to you!!!)
