This guy did. Kind of crazy to see all the structural rust that crept up in the first few years, but then again, this was a car designed over 60 years ago. The really neat part about this is that this particular car may have actually been worked on by my great grandfather when it was assembled at Ford's former Somerville, MA plant.

wow it made it through the 50s without becoming a custom. When it eventually changes hands I bet the top gets chopped first.

Urk. How about no, some of these need to stay stock. Doesn't mean you're not right, but I don't get the going-full-custom-on-perfect-survivors crowd.

I agree some need to stay stock and this is one of them, but I love me a chopped and dropped shoebox but is start with either a tougher car or a incomplete car

It's why as much as I'd have loved starting with a clean Ranchero (no floorboards needed, etc.), with what I was going to do with it, why bother? When I found one with mostly just things gone bad that I was going to alter anyway for cheap? Rock on, sold.

yeah, or the other option is buy one that's already gone under the knife. Our customs been a custom since 57 so it more restoration and adding a few period correct mods than hacking up a fresh body. Although it was suggested since its a 2dr post people said we should swap everything to a 2dr hardtop
