Tasteful resto-mod and dependable cruiser.

I am not a fan of louvered hoods.

I like the wheels and overall look.

I painted my 302 "Ford Red" because they used it in '57...but the block motor looks OK.

Nice, very nice, love the stance very similar look to the way mine's being built, but I've used slightly smaller profile tires on the front.

Wow - I thought I was looking at my Ranchero. I do have the proper 57 dog dish hubcaps. Great price.

On second thought...They must be correct for a Ranchero. When I bought this car, I was told that everything is correct. Do you mean that I got cheated???

Don't recall ever seeing those on a Ranchero, I've only seen them with full or dog dish, the 58's had dog dish with the center being gold..

Jay, going from memory here, but those hubcaps look like 56 Mark

Jim
That's the reason I took these gold dog dish caps off the right side of my car.
It's too bad because they were in much better condition than the ones that I put on to replace them.

I wonder how hard it would be to strip the gold paint off?

When I brought up that subject a few weeks ago about unpainted dog dish hubcaps, more than one of the guys on the site said that they used to do it back in the day with paint remover.

Thanks Tom
It's been so long that I have had a 55 or 56, that I had totally forgotten that. Jay
