I have to say that 53 body looks better than the 52 I'm driving. If it was closer to home I'd make a driver out of that one.

it was a marketplace find just 15 minutes from my house. He had over 100+ fords mainly 57's and 58's a couple Edsel's and some Buicks.
Unfortunately, I feel now that I paid too much for the car, but I did get better bumpers and driving lights off of this one.

I really have enjoyed watching your videos. Unfortunately, the whole floor of the car is framed with wood and covered in fiberglass. from the mid door down is nothing but Bondo. When I bought it, I was going to use it for patch panels, but it is a goner. The interior is in great shape other than smelling like the hantavirus.
