      53 stude gets gutted

      Well I am a little embarrassed to show what I am starting with but I couldn't destroy a nice collectible. The true is I couldn't afford one any way. This one was one step from the scrap heap. I just got it resting on the frame fixture. I need to try and put the new rockers on. I will run the tubing inside to give a little more strength and a good solid point to attach the tube frame. Corvette front suspension and 9" ford rear is in order with a 2x3 custom frame.The original flexible flyer frame is down the road.

      wow!!! That's going to be such a cool car when you get it finished. I really like these cars when there are fixed up right.

      Glad you're saving it from the crusher, one of the best looking cars of the 50's and a timeless design.

      Looks like quite the project, if I can advise at all... Start a photobucket account so you can host the pictures there and link them here. I think there is a thread with instructions in the multimedia area. Your posts will be much easier to follow in this format. Good luck, I look forward to following along.
