    Paying my respect

     



    Hello everyone. I'm 20 years old, and i currently own an 1957 Ford Fairlane. It was my grandfathers, and when i was ayoung boy (like im much older now), I helped him restore it from the frame up. He passed away 6 years ago as of Jan. 16th. Before he passed away, he asked me personaly to keep the car i our family, and to finish it for him. Well when i turned 18, i decided to finaly take it, and do just that. So far it has won 2 trohpies out of the 6 shows i've been to. I've came here to show his work, and to also meet others with custom classics, alng with get some help to fnish off mine. So with that said nice to meet all of you.

    Heres a link to some pictures of the car, along with my daly driver.

    Nice...

     



    The Fairlane is very nice and something to be proud of, keep in the family and maybe hand it down to you grandchildren some day... I also like what you have done to your Ranger... I like the orange flames the best and I would definately go for the super-slammed stance like how you photoshopped your truck photos...

    Welcome to the group...

    Welcome aboard Ranger, and attaboy!!!!

    Gotta love them lowered, red, pickemups!

    You might want to click on the camera icon next to your name and start a gallery so your photos will be more accessible here too.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    Good show, and welcome to the club. Anyone who restores the restorable is fine in my book
