My 54 came home today. Lots of work but its already converted to12 volt and a 318/904 installed as well im excited to get going.

The old jalopy on her way home. Gonna take some time but i can't wait to get started

So today I put a down payment and worked out a payment plan and I will have this home and 1005 mine my mid-April at the latest and I'm super excited to get started on it. I will be a slow process because I still getting on my feet again but I plan to get it drivable and inspectable all one color...

I actually have another post about a 54 truck I'm getting.

The guy still has this and I'm walking again and back to work so I am about to pull the trigger on it. Its not the old dart but it will have to do

Gosh I miss this car :( I had 2 total knee replacements and two spinal fusions and was out of work with no pay for almost a year. It was sell her or not pay the light bill or buy food. I wish I still had it UGHH

Remember not all tone rings need to be removed as mine fit on there with it still on the carrier

so yup its a 54 lol

if it was not so late i would call or message him lol. but im going 54 because the hood puts it 54-56 but the hood/wing window combo seems to be in 54. But we will see lol

The center section of the hood comes down like it seems 54-56 and its totally different before and after. Im looking now to try and find differences in anything like headlights/bumpers/other body parts or lines and or vent windows between 54-56 i did not even ask him about the grill but they...

i have not picked it up nor looked at paperwork yet but i can tell from examining pics of the hood and grill that it cant be a 53. with looking at pics it looks like it has to be 54-56 due to the way the center section of the hood comes down to the grill from the top of the hood.

thanks and now I just gotta find the link to the truck site lol

While some of you know i sold my car many do not. You guys know that I drove my car a lot and each year i would put 1000 or more miles on my car before most people(well us folks that have to store then in the winter months) even considered getting theirs out for the season. I did so much work...

I just went with the recommendation here ( i believe 80 off each side and 40 off front and rear)and prayed it was close. but it was spot on and worked perfectly

video of it running last year before i removed the pin stripe and painted on the red stripe. nothing has changed in the running of it.
