Thought I'd build something like I almost built as a young guy. Unfortunately, a wreck ended it. Just a little lowerng, shaving, prettied up flatty frenched headlights and tailights, etc.
Lookin' good!
That's looking good Dirtman. The mods that some of the folks did on their street cars back then...was very cool. It didn't take much to make your car look killer for the Fri night street drag....down Pine st...from stop light to stop light.
Looking forward to see more of this cool Ford...
It's coming along. Got some paint on it today, interior is almost done. Pictures tomorrow maybe...
Rett
:) Pretty cool, right there, Rett, with the lowered rear end. Will be a good one, I am sure.
Sweet period correct custom.
Sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had a 51 Crestliner in high school. Flatty w/od, porter steel packs. Loved the burple then, and still do. Got my Harley to pop a little coming down...I may be getting old, but I refuse to grow up!!!

Well, it's finally done. Close to what I would have liked back in the 50's. Lets see, nosed, decked, removed door handles, shortened side chrome, dummy spots, dual exhausts (dummy lake pipes), skirts, Desoto grille, frenched headlights and tailights. Plus the flatty with dual carbs and a bunch of chrome. Might have wanted flames but didn't have any I liked....Hope it brings back a memory or two for some of you.
Looks good!

Good Looking Ford !!!
This is an outstanding build Dirtman, well done.
This brings back memories of a trip to the gas station when I was a kid.
Bob
