Just got this last week,351W/FMX running and driving although it needs some TLC
Cheers,John :canada:
Always good to have another 57 in the stable. From the pictures it looks pretty straight.
Just needs freshening up and a colour change
John :canada:
Nice looking. Looks to have been used "gently". Rust free?
Very nice find.
A little more re assembly when it comes home next week
Cheers,John :canada:
4-5 months.....not bad at all. Looks good in blue, and that's a nice shade.
It ain't perfect Rich, it's gonna be a driver, I know of too many cases of people who spend years and buckets of money restoring cars and never getting to drive them
Cheers,John :canada:
looks good John, is that Maurices Chevelle in the background?
Yes,it's been there a long time
John :canada:
that's a real beautiful color choice, looking great !
At least I can spend as much time as I like putting it back together
John :canada:
Nice score on the Ranchero! Looks like a good color too. Should be driving this summer as well!

When I brought the car home it briefly ran then quit, found out the 41 year old nylon timing gears weren't up to the task anymore so I installed brand new timing set and woot, she runs
Cheers,John
Love them Rancheros. Iv'e had a bunch of them from all different years. Truck? looks great.
ah...she just wanted to see you giver 'er some luvin'! :icon_pai:
A couple of nicer pics
Cheers,John :canada:
SWEET! I am particular to the chromes and moons too. Have always liked that look. She is one sweet babe! Congrats.
WOW! The sun really changes that color. Looks great, congratulations. :occasion14:
Looks great John. Any idea what the headlight rings are? I may have already asked. I like what appears to be a shortened height, not quite as bugeyed.
The headlight bucket assembly is from a 48-55 Ford Pickup, it's an easy swap you just enlarge the existing holes in the fender,I did it to my other car as well
