[QUOTE="justbob, post: 16821313, member: 126385"] I picked up this ‘53 back in March in sad sad shape. Horrendous engine knock, plywood bed floor, no rear fenders or tailgate, and almost nothing electrical worked correctly. It’s come a long way since but sooo much more to go.. I still have to do a Heidts front and rear, get the 9” narrowed, US Mag Ramblers in 18 & 20’s, would like to Patina this thing, and a complete interior to bring it up to my specs. Also the newly rebuilt 463 has to go back as it knocks pretty bad until fully warmed up. I’m thinking piston slap at this point. I’m more a Ford guy but I had sold my car three months prior and there was literally nothing available for a reasonable price at the time and I didn’t want my car money to slowly disappear.. So far: Rebuilt engine Entire new bed excluding the actual sides Wiring New 3” exhaust And probably another couple tree grand in all the smalls not worth mentioning. Top speed is around 62 until I get the suspension and steering done over the winter. Any more and it’s simply too reckless. So this year she is just a in town cruiser. She’ll annihilate the poor tires at any speed you want and look and sound impressive at least.
