This idiot bought a 53 Ford Customline.

I have a 54 Customline. Was 4 door sedan but its now 2 door. Has been channelled, chopped and front doors extended. Going to run Airbags all round. AND............... thats where it still is after 4 years. Thats OK its my next job Your 53 is gonna look a treat!

 

I can tell you don't have any experience because your first mistake was buying a Ford.

 

Theres always a clown in the crowd....

 

I cant join in on this "BlokeFest" or "Bromance" I have a Ford, Holden, Chevy and a Dodge

 

I always say "See the U.S.A in your Chevrolet" and "See the auto mechanic in your Ford"
Peace

 

Chevrolet is short for "Shove it or leave it" proof in picture

 

so, a Ford hater... tell me more about how Chevrolet got it's start....

and Dodge......

any number of guys that Henry brought along in the early days and they went their own way AFTER learning from him.

 

welcome to the wonderful world of 52-54 fords.....

 

Sounds like a nice project. Good luck and keep posting

 

Welcome! I've had my 53 4dr since 1974. Bought it for $120. Restored it once and customised it twice. Still running the overhead six and still loving it! Have fun with yours.

 

Thanks for all the comments. As for Chevy vs Ford debate, I'm clueless. Doubt I'm going to get any Calvin pee-stickers anytime soon though.

Bulletproof, do you have a 4x4 Customline?

 

There are a FEW areas in Utah that require 4WD or chains in inclement weather, but its mostly the roads to where the ski areas are. Those requirements can last months at a time. Where I live its 110 all summer, mid 60's most of the winter, and rarely snows. Cruise roadsters and ride motorcycles year round.

Team 13, join the Utah social group. These guys will help you as they can, parts, advice, happenings, etc. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/group.php?groupid=20

Good luck and enjoy the Ford!

 

Cograds on your car. I was just having a little fun stirring up the Ford pot
