Dave; Good evening to you sir and thanks for sharing the newest addition. Our eldest and I attended the Peach City Beach Cruise car show last weekend - something just shy of 750 cars I think it was. Anyway Dave, with a wee bit of TLC that would have fit right in and then some. Again it's a cool addition. Thanks again, all the best to you and your fine family and Happy Fourth of July to you all. Dwayne

Outstanding.
Love the dual pipes and the chrome looks pristine.
But...but wait....there's nothing to perform on this beauty!! Maybe an improved and rumbling big block?

Darn cool Dave.

Twice pipes, three on the tree, but no bucket chairs? Been awhile since I saw a generator under a hood. Leave the skirts off Pretty cool ride. Long time ago and far away, I had a 55 Ford two door wagon. It didn't look near as pristine as that 53. But I had a lot of fun in it

Dave, when time allows, could you post some weld parameters for the "back from the dead" Mustang ? I see you're using a couple of different machines, and wondering if you "stitch" with that as a built in function, or just trigger and whip the gun.
Your latest,....I can tell you that it took FOREVER to get back to where I really wanted to be (N.O. La.) once, in a virtually identical car.
A little prone to vapor lock if you didn't open the hood, right off the road.
Other than that, solid as a church,....and more than adequate for gettin' state to state.

And ND does it again. That sumbish always has the coolest toys. I guess it gives me a reason to make the trek to his shop every few months or so. The next trip just might be in my green machine. Sweet ride there bud. See ya soon whether you want to or not!!!

Yeah pretty cool... and especially looking like it escaped MN crotch rot from road salt....
dontcha love how simple those old cars were....
I was always partial to the Merc version of that old Ford....
IIRC 53 was the last year for the old Ford Flatheads....
but the old 6 is still just as cool in the old time capsule...
