Project "Cool Ranch"

[Steve Petroff]

Hello,
My name is Steve and I’ve been lurking about here on the board for almost two years and I wanted to introduce a new project that my brother Chris and I are starting.

Not sure if it classifies completely as “g-machine” material but we think it should be a cool, custom, family cruiser !

He picked up this 1954 Ford 2-door Ranch Wagon on eBay from Colorado a few months back.

We worked with a designer here in Canada, Andrew Kerr, (www.kerrst.com) who took a lot of our going-in ideas and incorporated them in the rendering below. We are bantering a few color schemes around but this one keeps jumping to the front. Andrew was fabulous to work with and did an amazing job! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to have a rendering done of their vehicle.

Planned modifications / approach:

Chassis - 1993 Ford Crown Victoria chassis, utilizing 4.6 Modular motor (may move up to 5.4), 4-spd AOD transmission, four wheel disc with ABS, air ride suspension, 20x10 / 18x7 Mustang Bullit style wheels,

Body modifications - fully shaved body, bumper bolts, door handles, etc., one-piece door and side glass, headlamps with integrated signal lights, driving lamps to replace current signal lights in grill, custom LED rear tail lamps.

Interior plans - complete 1996 Mustang dash, console, bucket seats, air conditioning system, with leather and suede combination throughout.

Enjoy! Let us know what you guys think!
