All I see is a picture of a '56 convert. no text or explanation for the comment. nice car though

Re: 1956 sunliner restoration
 

Given the context, and I’ve seen the original post on the HAMB, I think it refers to the hot rod tendencies of us hoodlums on the HAMB. And K is more of a restoration guy, a great help to those looking for the right part numbers and info.

While I have my weak points, I’ve never put anything but a Ford in a Ford.

Now, if I came across an early hemi ………

What is happening there (H.A.M.Bone) is akin to taking an 18 year old virgin from a Catholic School and throwing her into a brothel.

There are some things that should not be allowed.

KULTULZ is retaining water, it is an old guy thing.

Seriously, it pains me to see a perfect car being modified in this manner (and it will get worse as it goes along).

No.1 - It ain't none of my business. It is his car and duckets.

No.2 - I have no business being over there as it raises my blood pressure.

I am not so much restoration as !!! DO NO HARM !!!.

If you are going to modify a car of this quality, considerations should be taken to be able to return it to it's original condition at some point. Once you butcher one, it is going to be difficult and expensive to bring it back down to Earth.

Now pumping up the drive-train as long as the modification(s) appears as OEM is fully understood and appreciated ... :D

You can't run shine in some of the builds you see over there. One has to be practical ... :cool:

Re: 1956 sunliner restoration
 

I agree, that car is beautiful as is and should be left alone. We need more stock or restored to stock classics and antiques for those of us just starting to work on these cars.

Re: 1956 sunliner restoration
 

That 56 sure is great lookin. I parkied one year at Good-Guys Nationals in Columbus, and the guy parked his next to me. His had a 351 transpant. It was beautiful. They Good-Guys staff took a photo of it, and put it in their magazine. The owner sure was a piece of work though...

Re: 1956 sunliner restoration
 

Well, actually that is OK (to me) if the conversion(s) was done neatly, old parts saved and the car can be returned to OEM fairly easily.

It's like meeting a pretty girl and you think it might go somewhere. You show up for the 2nd date and now she is sporting tats, piercings and blue hair ...

Re: 1956 sunliner restoration
 

Only thing to do on that car is put a white top on it and change the horn ring. Sure hope all that stuff is staying with the car and not ending up on craigslist or facespace.

Re: 1956 sunliner restoration
 

... hmmph ... I like that.

The car has a correct complete SPARE WHEEL CARRIER and the owner states that will be the first thing to go. I can understand that. It has to be worth a fortune.

The owner stated he came across the car as a result of the owner spending two years and who knows how many duckets bringing it to this state and then passed. His widow sold the car.

Can you imagine the amount of devotion and love it took to turn something like this out and then not being able to enjoy it?

But as I said, it is none of my business. In fact, I need to mind my own business.

It's gone ...

Re: 1956 sunliner restoration
 

That's a pretty car. Can't say I disagree with his plans for it. Nothing really that can't be undone and returned to stock.
Definitely agree with getting rid of the diving platform in the rear.
Hey, at least he's not planning a LS swap!

Re: 1956 sunliner restoration
 

You're correct. It could be a lot worse ...
