Default 1955 Ford Customline Project

Hi guys,

I am new to the forum and i decided to post up my project. I am building a 1955 ford 2dr customline. We bought the car from someone who started a full restoration on it and decided not to finish it after painting everything. Were going for a very subtle look on the outside with 18x8 fronts and 20x10 rears otherwise stock appearing. Killer engine compartment and interior and suspension!

Take a look at the rendering,

That's awesome! I love the 55 & 56 Customlines. Can't wait to see the progress on this one. Can you give any details at all? Color? Engine? Wheel and tire size?

Joe.

Agreed, not many out there compared to the tri-fives.

Great car to put a Coyote 5.0 in. Those are good looking shoeboxes.

Hey 56 - what's your name?

Sounds like a great project! What parts you did name are top notch Sir...

BTW, you can share here. You're safe, and we won't tell anybody!
