    My 64 Ford Custom Project

     



    Now that I've had a little fun with my "Trailer Queen" Thought I'd fill everybody in on what I'm doing with it.

    I picked the car up a while back, it's a 64 Ford Custom (plain jane, very bottom of the line 6 cyl 3 spd 2 dr post). It had been sitting in a wrecking yard for several years after it went into a ditch one night. It got hit hard enough to ruin the hood, driver fender, bumper and grill. I hadn't really paid too much attention to it, figuring it likely had frame damage.

    When i started huntiung for a body to put a bored and stroked 352 (401CI) in I took a close look at it. The only thing that was hurt turned out to be the parts I already listed, no frame damage, no damage to the drivers door, and only a couple of very minor dings in one of the quarters. The only rust is a small (about 2" X 6" hole) hole in a low spot in the trunk. I made a deal for the car, good fender, hood and bumper.

    I've been collecting parts for about a year now so I have about all I need to put it together. The engine, a C6 from a 68 428 T Bird (the car has a factory 9" with 350 gears). I also have all new weather stripping, heater core and the parts to do a disc brake conversion (79 T -Bird parts are a bolt on).
