1956 Ford Customline

INTRODUCTION: Starting with a clean dry car, a body off frame restoration was performed. Its striking colors grabbed my attention, the fit and finish impressed me. The upgrades are what sold me on it. EXTERIOR: The body is excellent! It is laser straight with no rust or damage, it is smooth from the rockers to the roof. The hood ornament was shaved off for a clean look. Repainted in a striking 2 tone combination. The red and the black are both polished to a glass finish. All of the chrome and trim was replaced or restored. The rear bumper is a smoothie with no bolts showing. It looks like all of the glass was replaced too. The weatherstrips and lenses were replaced. Its rolling proudly on a set of 17 inch American Racing special edition wheels wrapped in performance tires. INTERIOR: Professionally restored interior! The seats have custom cushions and upholstery that fits real nice. The side panels are custom made too. On the floor it has sound deadener and premium carpet. The headliner and visors were replaced. The interior metal trim was repainted. A tilt column was added along with a custom steering wheel. A gauge cluster was added to monitor the engines vitals. ENGINE COMPARTMENT: This 302 is spunky! Rebuilt and upgraded with an aluminum Weiand intake, dual feed Holley carb with electric choke, Pro Comp electronic ignition and stainless headers. The front of the motor has a serpentine belt system, power steering, and upgraded from a generator to an alternator. It is also upgraded with power brakes and a dual reservoir master cylinder. It runs cool with an aluminum radiator. An a/c system was started, the lines are neatly run to the inner fender and it has a condenser. The engine bay is very tidy, smoothly painted metal.
