She's coming home this weekend!!!

Finally bring the 51 Victoria home and im going to start to try to get her on the road!!

 

Ive had her in storage for a few months, time to uncover her and bring her home

 

It's got all the original trim in the trunk, cant wait to go through it

 

Nice score. Plans?

 

Nice!

 

Nice 49' front end, better looking imo

 

She looks pretty solid, what's the plan for her? My family had one of those when I was 15 that was supposed to be my first car but ended up getting sold to a guy who worked for my stepfather.

 

Thanks guys, for now im just going to bring her home, put all the stock trim back on, and lower her a little. I wish it still had the original flathead, but thats long gone. I have a 302 roller motor and an aod i'm going to throw in it and try to get it going before summer!!!! Fingers crossed!

 

Beautiful dash!

 

I'm not sure what this back seat is out, but it doesn't fit so it has to go bye bye

 

SWEET !!!!!!! you don't find them like that in WI

 

Here's the motor that's going in it and the AOD trans

 

Ya its amazing how straight and rust free it is, and all the original trim and glass is in good shape

 

cool man post more pictures....

 

Pretty nice start keep the pics coming. Have any spare parts? Im looking for a couple things

 

I'm bring her home on Saturday, so ill post my progress from there. Does anyone know where the stock mirrors went on these cars. I didn't really notice any mounting spots in the doors, but I didn't look that close either.

 

Let me go through the trunk and see what I have. There's a good possibility that there is extra parts in there!

 

Love those little Fords. I have a 52 Mainline with 33000 miles. Needs brakes etc. Maybe this summer Good luck on yours. Nice car.

 

Like the' 49 sheet metal,,congratulations. HRP

 

Loaded up and headin for home

 

her new home

 

There's a baby in the trunk....

 

Started taking front clip off and went through the trunk, not as much parts as I once thought. Missing a lot of 51 stainless but have a full set of 49 stainless!

 

Also found this spotlight. Anyone have a clue what it is or what it originally came off??!!

 

That looks like a great start. I like the hardtop with the 49 clip.

 

I have the full wrap around side trim that is nearly mint with the Victoria spears for $500 if you are interested? Nice project by the way.

 

Sounds like a deal, if I wasn't going for the "budget build" Id be all over that!
