ranma Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 (edited) From on the work bench, Here is the $1.00 '58 Ford Fairlane 500. I went with a well care for survivor look, with some paint faded but otherwise still nice looking. pictures are from before, during and after repaint /rebuild. ***NOTE The windshield was fixed after the pictures were taken.....

John Goschke Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 I like it. That's the same color combo as the rusty-but-ran-good $150 four door sedan I had in the '70s – nothing more fun than a cheap '58 Ford! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
