Awesome job!
You were a man on a mission and I am impressed with how quickly your project moved!
Car look fabulous. Saw you driving down the street the other day and it is even more impressive than the photos.
Outstanding Job!

I do not know of many people that can get things together so well that the project just moves along seemingly seamlessly and quickly, and with such outstanding results. Congratulations on a job excellently done. I love the chrome work on that car - awesome work that company did and the paint also looks superb. Wow!

Thanks for the comments. We need to meet up one of these days. I try to get over to the Niftee 50's show either with the '57 Desoto or the '53 Ford on Saturday evenings. BTW, if you know of anyone that might like a mild custom '53 Ford steer them my way. Here is a link to the car. 1953 Ford YouTube link

Thanks Steve. Those guys at the chrome shop and the paint shop really did a great job in quick order. I happened to catch the paint shop when things were slow and they really got on it.

I love your 53 Ford Custom. I was hoping to see the flathead still under the hood.

 

[baker53]

Been doing some final things on the car and have been driving it around a bit. Everything seems to be working well and the ride and handling is great.
