1955 Ford Customline Project

[56pickup]

Hi guys,

I am new to the forum and i decided to post up my project. I am building a 1955 ford 2dr customline. We bought the car from someone who started a full restoration on it and decided not to finish it after painting everything. Were going for a very subtle look on the outside with 18x8 fronts and 20x10 rears otherwise stock appearing. Killer engine compartment and interior and suspension!

Take a look at the rendering,

That's awesome! I love the 55 & 56 Customlines. Can't wait to see the progress on this one. Can you give any details at all? Color? Engine? Wheel and tire size?

Joe.

[56pickup]

Art Morrison chassis
5.0 coyote motor w/Getrag 6 speed EDIT** Now using Tremec TKO-600

18x8 and 20x10 schott wheels

Color is ppg black already but we are going to strip it and debadge the trunk, hood and a few other custom touches

Agreed, not many out there compared to the tri-fives.

Great car to put a Coyote 5.0 in. Those are good looking shoeboxes. :thumbsup:

[Ron in SoCal]

Nice collection Tyler :thumbsup: Start a build thread on this baby!

This is the build thread on the 55. I just wanted to show some of the other cars we have built. I figured that there was not much interest in hot rods so I didn't start a new thread showing them. I have some build pictures that I will post up a little later today :thumbsup:

This is how she looked when we first got her home from pennsylvania and in the shop.

Since the art morrison chassis will take 4 weeks to get here we are prepping for the chassis to come in.

We have the interior all gutted. when we got the car some interior pieces were thrown together to make the car look better in the pictures and look better selling it. the stock carpet was blue and they painted it black along with the door panels. all the garnish moldings had 1 or 2 screws holding them in and a few other things. Anyways we had mostly everything out but the seat. We decided to take the seat out yesterday and it came out pretty good and we vaccumed all of the old foam out of the car that fell out of the seat. next we raised the car up on the lift and we took all of the body bolts out of the car except the front 2 that we loosened up and can take them out quick when we get the chassis.


Right now we are working on test fitting all of the door eyebrows and stuff because we recieved the wrong ones and want to make sure that these are going to fit.

We also have a 1956 ford dash that we are working on and smoothing out.

no updates this weekend. had to go to a funeral and had some other things to do.

[56pickup]

had nice conversation with Dave Wagner at Schott wheels today! hopefully next week i will be ordering my set of Schott GT wheels so they should show up at the same time as the chassis and i can get everthing mocked up correctly then and things will start rollin!

As far as tires go i think i am going with the BFG G-Force T/A KDW2. what do you guys think? good road maners and decent autocrossing?

The wheels are so clean looking and such high quality from what ive seen so I am really excited to get them!

Hey Ty - nice choice on the wheels. I actually stopped by unannounced to the Schott factory. I was in the neighborhood, couldn't help it! I gotta say, aside from being nice guys and true professionals, thier whole line of wheels are top notch. Some styles may resonate more w the PT crowd based on your build design, but man they are bling...:thumbsup:

I like the wheels alot and i am going with a Protouring style car but with some street rod influenced parts yet like the hillborn stack injection and stuff so the wheels will fit in good! :thumbsup:

The next 55 after this one will have some ccw's or forgelines and be strictly protouring style.

[Ron in SoCal]

^ nothing wrong w street rod style unless you're building a track only car! :yes:

:thumbsup: This one is going to be drivin and drivin hard! once it is done with its first year on the circuit starting with sema in fall and skipping the indoor shows except the Milwaukee WOW because its local it will go to some of the Goodguys shows and after that the car will be drivin everywhere no matter how far. our cars are drivers but were going to treat this one a little a little nice in the begining!

[56pickup]

Just Signed off on the final Chassis drawing and will be going into production tomorrow after being faxed!

Ordering wheels this week also!

:thumbsup:

[56pickup]

Got some work done this weekend. The body is ready to come off the chassis, all we have to do is pull the 2 front bolts that are finger tight. We are working on finishing up up the quater windows and the door windows since we have to wait a little for the chassis. We fixed up the the original window chanels and put them in all 4 windows but the anti rattlers were gone so we had to buy new ones from dennis carpenter but they didnt make them for the 2dr post only the crown vic and the hard top, so we had to make them ourself.

Factory wheel tubs cut in half and spare tire holder cut out so when we recieve the art morrison chassis we can make final measurements on cutting out the rest of the truck floor. we will have to modify the truck brackets with the bigger tubs but shouldnt be too much work.

heres our dash. The gauge pod panel will be layed out for our new gauges and we we cut some more card board templates with the idea of turning it into some engine turned aluminum pieces. I am most likely going to just go ahead and smooth out the radio, ashtray, and switch holes except for the lights, key and wipers so they will be easy to acess instead of in the console. i will be leaving the glove box to because it is still nice to put things in.

http://i1017.photobucket.com/albums/af291/snowmo8/55update1021.jpg

wheels were also ordered and will show up about the same time as the chassis which works out perfect :thumbsup:

BTW what kind of feedback have you been getting from potential buyers of your Merc?

Gus told me that out of 12 wrecked 2011 gt mustang's he has had 9 of them!

The merc went down the road to my grandpa's brother. Worked out good! :thumbsup: The car was worth every bit we were asking for it and no one would even offer or anything on the car. The market is extremely tough to sell cars in right now unless you can steal it!

This weekend my grandpa and i headed to Louisville for the NSRA street rod nationals and had a blast!

Bought a lot of parts! Gus from Cleveland pick a part called me and told me he got the mustang and asked if i wanted the motor. I said Of course! :thumbsup: He said it had 1200 miles on it so thats perfect!

Had a fantastic weekend and cant wait to get back wrenchin on the 55!

Tyler it was great meeting you in person and awsome to see someone so young with that much knowledge and maturity , it was refreshing. Also congrats on the motor that will be a blast. Now get back to work:D

P.S. your package is on its way

[waynieZ]

It looks great Tyler. Nice pick up on the motor.

[fleetus macmullitz]

Tyler,

Not sure how much it would cost to do a mod like below. I believe Hollywood Hot Rods modded some 427 SOHC valve covers for the 5.0 Coyote they put in the Raybestos giveaway car build.

It was Hollywood. I like how that turned out. I think something along those lines would be a great addition to the car overall.

Dont worry guys something is already in the works! ;) I will be going with a hilborn injection setup now instead of the kinsler/ Twins turbo setup previously posted due to funds and time. I am working with Andy Star of hilborn and Hollywood Hotrods on a 8 stack setup now. I will reveal more as stuff starts coming together! :thumbsup:

I have liked the raptors since they first came out but only turning 16 the price tag is out of my leauge! :thumbsup:

We have some more parts coming but thats whats come in so far! Forgot that we want the power window switches in the console so we have to change out the wiring when we go to kalamazoo in september.

Nice looking truch good luck with it.

Thanks! Got a really Killer deal on it! 89,000 miles and is the most cleanest 04 f150 i have seen! The interior looks like no one has ever sat in it and the outside is just as nice! It has a 2.5" level on the front other than that its stock for right now. I plan to put some wheels/tires on and a bed cover in spring

[fleetus macmullitz]

Tyler,

Lot of understated style in those gauges, the white numbers on the black background is a big part of that IMO. Nice touch incorporating the Ford style 'V8' logo in them too. :thumbsup:

Scott's hot rod shop mod motor motor mounts came the other day!

These mounts look killer!
http://i1017.photobucket.com/albums/af291/snowmo8/005-9.jpg

Mocked up the 56 dash today to start measuring for the wilwood pedal assembly and see what kind of braces were going to need. Might have to change the firewall a little to get the motor farther back but we will know once we get the motor.

http://i1017.photobucket.com/albums/af291/snowmo8/007-5.jpg

Welded the driver side tub in today

Well early happy b day!
You are just turning 16 right?

I have to say, I REALLY like that you are so involved with building cars. And with your dad and grandfather too. Most guys your age don't seem to have much intrest in these old cars. I hope my son takes as much interest as you do.
And you do really nice work too!

Yup Just turning 16! Ive been driving for a while as I'm sure you guys could have guessed! Shhh don't tell anyone! Lol
I have been around cars my whole life and have been in the shop since I can remember. I have gone from flashlight holder to can you run and get me that wrench to go cut this or grind that. I soak in all the knowledge that I can. Our car buddies even like to ask me things about certain products or cars or anything because they know that I am on the computer and always researching parts and on forums and such and I am really appreciative of that because they trust what I have to say.

As for any other young guys getting interested in cars more I have never been a video game guy or watching tv, working on cars is a much better past time or hobby to get into as you will have something to show when your done and be proud to say yeah I did that, while playing video games you'll have nothing to show!

[70rs]

Well said Tyler.:thumbsup:

[fleetus macmullitz]

Tyler, are the 5.0 Coyote mounts the same as the 4.6/5.4 mounts?

Well, We knew that we wanted it to be a post car so that got rid of the crown vic and victoria ht. Grandpa and i both liked the look of the 55 grille and front end apperance so it was between what trim level we wanted. It really didnt matter which one we choose since it's not going to be anywhere near stock! My major goal for the car is to be clean and subtle so i fell in love with the customline! Here's why,

http://i1017.photobucket.com/albums/af291/snowmo8/55fordcustomline6.jpg

We will be doing lots of subtle things such as 56 dash which is the most well known mod people have done to there 55, tuck the bumpers in, shave hood/trunk, ect

Congrats on the motor score Tyler. Your project - getting that AME frame/tubs in there - is really shaping up...:thumbsup:

Thanks Ron! Mounting the chassis wasn't nearly as hard we thought it was going to be! The AME chassis saved TONS of time and the work is phenomonal! The rear tubs are actually trailer fenders that we cut up and massaged ;)

The Motor will require the firewall to be cut out a bit but we were going to smooth it up anyway :thumbsup:

[waynieZ]

I can see why that helped you make a decision its a sweet looking ride.

We are thinking about swaping out the getrag for a tremec TR6060 out of an 05-10 mustang so then we can run a 1 piece drive shaft and also move the shifter location to better suit us.

Then putting the car on the ground again and rolling it up to the front of the garage where its heated and putting one of the other cars in the back. Still looking for a trans and that is what is holding us back right now.

Ford Racing Control Pack came today from a member on SVTPerformance! Everything is brand new in the box. Really only need the wiring part because the air box that comes with it is useless.

Thanks! It coming together very smoothly right now! Were going to start measuring up for the radiator now. We are going to have brice thomas build the radiator for us and we are going to use one of the big cfm ford fans that we got out of a cougar. you just cant beat these radiators price and power wise! we will kind of hide it a little so it wont be too much of an eye sore!

Thanks Guys!

not a whole lot happened this last week. Today we cut the front of the tunnel out a little more. Also made a template for the new firewall. we will be bending up the sheetmetal tomorrow. depending on how far we get maybe tack the new firewall in. :thumbsup:

Got our new Turnkey Engine factory Power steering system on order this week. Should be here in about a week and a half.

Until then we will be finishing up the firewall and rasing the tunnel ever so slightly just to be sure we have enough driveshaft clearance. When the power steering assembly comes we will mount it up and then mocking up a cardboard radiator.

Nice - I was hoping to see someone pick up the Turnkey Coyote PS setup! I'll be really interested to hear how it works out for you. I'm making plans to use one of these engines in a project I'm working on, and the PS pump issue hasn't been dealt with very well so far by the aftermarket (or Ford) IMO. Did you get their 'full' system with the KRC pump and their AC setup? I'd probably be more likely to attempt to duplicate theirs, but it's the kind of solution I've been looking for...

Yes. we will be recieving the whole system. Gotta have A/C in a Driver! :thumbsup:

The guys at Goolsby customs are going to be putting the kit on there 71 Pegasus mustang. So i am waiting to here how they like it when they get it on. I also heard that vintage air will be coming out with one also. When i saw the turnkey setup at sema i was very impressed! Its not the cheapest route but its something that will work and has a great company behind it.

Today we continued to mock up the driveshaft loop and then we realiezed that the trans was about 1/2" off center so we took the mount apart, remeasured and fixed the mount. Trans is square and went back to work on the loop.


Also worked on the snowmobile a little bit today. Polished her up! :thumbsup:

Finally got the prothane mount that was on back order for a month and a half. The mount came with a crossmember to bolt up to a 96-98 mustang gt but we threw that on the side and made our own. The Ford rubber mount just wasn't cutting it. Only way to get the pollyurathane mount was to buy the kit and we are sure glad we did!

Wilwood pedals came in on Friday also from back order for a month. They ended up sending 3 3/4" bore m/c's when we needed 2 and a 7/8". So we will have to send one back and exchange it. We started mocking up the pedal assemblys and right off the bat we have a pretty good idea on where to mount it and good pedal location. We will run remote fill with the 3 resivoirs under the dash speaker hole which will work out real cool!

Once that is done we will order our mufflers from stainless works and start the exhaust system and also measure up a fuel tank and send the dimensions to ricks and have them make us one of their awesome tanks!

Lol dont worry! the plan is to finish up the intake and final wire position, finish the radiator hoses, and tidy up odds and ends. Then real soon it will be going by a friends shop where he will work on the bumpers and under the hood stuff :_paranoid :D. Then we will measure for our Ricks stainless tank and order it up. Following that we will bend up the exhaust and put body on rotisserie and blast it.
