How the hell do yall only have 13k subs!? Great work, all the way around, the filming, the wrenching, and for making full posts! So many of these shows make you watch 15 episodes for this much transformation!
I have a 63.5 ford falcon sprint with a 260 and a 4 speed. My great grandfather bought in new in 63. I went thru and did a complete frame up restoration, keeping everything original. I rebuilt motor, kept it a 2 barrel kept the points and condenser stayed with everything stock. I’m now in the process of switching it 4 barrel and HEI and prob gonna put a cam in it as well. Like I said I went thru a lot to keep it original, got done and looked back and was like. “There is nothing of me in this car”. I even went as far as getting a trunk latch that was made in 63 for a falcon sprint when mine failed instead of just snagging up an aftermarket one. So with all this being said it’s your car do what you want. Make it something that has some “you” in it. Original is just something that rolled off some assembly line somewhere. Keep it up boys! Love these videos.
Not necessary to convert to 12 volts if wires remain same heavy gauge and all grounds are cleaned with knife or wire brush. May also add a ground cable from engine to body. Make sure battery is good and fully charged. @@DailyDrivenDeathTraps
6V or 12V heavier gauge is better. Electric cables are similar to water pipes in that the larger the diameter the better the flow due to less resistance. it looks to me like the owner did a common upgrade to welding cable for the main leads.@@DailyDrivenDeathTraps
I love the car. I wish it was mine. I’m not into the patina thing. To me I’d do a brick colored primer, but I’d leave the top just like you did it. Then black seat covers, with a Mexican blanket covering the package tray. But hey, to each his own. You did a great job. My Dadz was a light blue green bottom with a dark blue green top. You know there were so many of these 53s in the late 50s that one night leaving the Olympic Auditorium after wrestling. My Dad and I got in our car to go home, but it wouldn’t start. Then my Dad says “Get out of the car!” We were in someone else’s car with the same paint scheme. I’m 70, but will never forget that night in 1957!
I'm glad it brought back memories! Also glad you said to each his own because so many other comments are just downright disgusting and now you know why some people don't build their OWN car. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment, hope to see ya comment on the next one!
The reason they had super thick battery cables is because at 6 volts you require rougly double the amperage for every 12 volt equivalent circuit. (Yes pedants I know its not that simple but P=IV). On my 51' Chevy it had 4 Gauge battery cables and had a really hard time starting, once I switched to 000 gauges it cranks no problem.
It’s not for me I am not into the patina look for my own cars but I can appreciate the work and she looks amazing. Heck of a lot better than seeing it just sit and rust away. Great work and nice video.
I have a 54 . Installed a 390 and a 4 spd . Raised the front 2 inches and the back 1 inch . Yes I raised it ! Added power disc brakes and a new front cross member. 22 years later I'm still driving it !
Battery cables too thick....what???? Six volt systems carry less voltage but more amperage than 12 volt systems so they have to have thicker cables. I suggest studying electrical theory a bit. SMALLER cables carry less current, that's why overloaded wires melt.
I would have loved to have the car when you got it but now scence you wrecked the look of the car I wouldn't take it as a gift.why did you want to destroy such a beautiful version of an unrestored 53 ford? They make a tool to take them clips off the door panel.
Love the work you did on this sweet ride. What so many jere have failed to realize is that hot rod culture is just this. Taking an original car and making it something unique. The lace top looks incredible, and I appreciate the door card fix idea. Love the channel.
I wouldn't listen to haters. Yall gave this car a completely new life. Patina with the black roof was beautiful then you guys put the lace in! The black wheels with meat and the chrome hubcaps.... Chef's Kiss
We laugh at the hate comments. It's great when people get so upset over something that isn't theirs. Great for views though I guess haha. Appreciate the nice comment!
I'm 64 and this car brings back memory. Back in the early to mid 60's a neighbor of my Grandmother Mrs Hamzy had one just like it only 3 speed 6 cylinder, we would walk about 3 miles to Grandma to visit and Mrs Hamzy would offer to take us home. I was 4 or 5 that back seat seemed so big to a child, I do remember she'd start out in 1st and rev up a bit and jump to 3rd mom would ask about 2nd and Mrs Hamzy would say I use that for hills.
My Father had a couple 53 Ford Victoria hardtop's,the customlines all had the rubber floor covering,i think you could check the carpet box as an option,but was standard to the Victoria,239 flathead ,110 horsepower ,what an old workhorse , nice find there guys 👍👍, very solid driver in my opinion, Thanks for sharing!!
You guys are "form of forms" GENIUSES!!! Most of the population would have no idea what a 1953 Flathead is. If forced to guess, they would say 'a new app to download'. The nuances you gave it are ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. If I hadn't watched it with my own eyes, I would not have believed it!
Large cables are good especially with 6 volt systems. Larger cables have lower resistance which results in less voltage drop between the battery and the starter. 6 volt systems are notoriously hard starting so they need all the help they can get.
I have a lot of 50's trucks and tractors, all 6-volt and they actually start better in bitter cold weather than most of my later 12-volt units. If they are tuned up usually a couple revolutions and they are running. You have done a nice job, I hope you keep, appreciate, and take care of that sweet engine. Be sure to check and or change the fluid in the differential and pack the front hubs. I noticed what looked like a bad rubber brake hose for the rear end.
Seeing too many channels and vids doing 53 Chevys. Love em, but gets tiring. These guys doing a 53 Ford--about damn time! Love these and the Shoeboxes. Seems like YTers don't do enough of these. Thanks much, this rocks.
In 1965 I had a very classy 52 Olds Rocket 88 2dr Hardtop. I guess they're quite an item now, having been famous for racing against the Hudson Hornets back in the day. Anyway, my friend's older brother had a 53 Ford 2dr Mainline in perfect condition, in Black and White with a new pleated B&W interior. He bored out that 239, installed a Crane Cam, Special pistons, Offenhauser Hi Compression Heads and Twin Carburetors. With the original 3 speed Overdrive it would do almost 135 MPH. I took it out for a drive one night and almost killed myself. My Olds couldn't come close to it. Nice Car you guys prepped for the road. I'm glad to see there's still some around. Best regards from your northern neighbors. God Bless America. RS, Maj Ret. Alberta, Canada.
@@DailyDrivenDeathTraps Thank you for your kind comments too guys. I just subscribed to see more of your Death Trap Adventures when they come up. Keep up the good work! Bob Steele, Canada.
New to the channel and I like what I saw so I've subscribed. I think your channel has the potential to really grow. Keep up the good work. I like what you did with the car. That car is just a little older than me so it's nice to see the younger generation getting interested in old iron.
Keep making good content yal are growing quick about a month ago yal where only at I think a little over 1,000 subscribers now ur at 14k. Imagine in about 6 months. lol
Back in the 90s i had a 53 Customliner with the flathead V8 and 3 on the tree. Loved that car, had to sell it when i got laid off with a kid on the way. Would love to find another one in drivable shape like that one, brings back memories. ❤
Custom cars is what itis about , A lot of folks talk a game but do not have what it takes to do custom work , these young gays are willing to do there home work and encourage yours with these videos.
I have a '53 Customline 4dr that I'm leaving at stock height. Where I live (Kansas), I need the ground clearance. Function over style, guys. If you knew what a blessing it is to have a good grille in one of those, you'd not mess with it.
First time watching the channel I love this build, I can’t believe how good the rear rims and tires look, the lowering and rake is perfect, love the whole car
Looks great! I picked up my ‘46 Chevy truck and the outside looked like crap. Mismatched panels and lots of mismatched paint. I went to town on it over the Summer. Sanded all the bad spots down, scuffed the rest. Next, laid a nice brown primer over the whole thing. Then, pained the fenders black and the body gray. Finally, went over all the fenders and high spots which I thought would take a beating from the sun and wet sanded through the paint to reveal the primer in those spots. Turned out really nice and I get compliments on the patina all the time. Best part is I spent less than $250 on all the paint and supplies and did it myself in the garage. Probably the best $250 I’ve ever spent.
The 6 volt system needs the big cables what you need to do is put an 8 volt battery in it and it will turn over better.that is a good car I hope you guys don't destroy it..
I would like to see just one of these car channels sell merchandise that is made in the USA. I am sick and tired of these flag-waving channels promoting all of their made in china t-shirts, can cozies, hats and key chains.
Love the lace roof, and I to see see your channel going to 1 million sooner than you think. I have only gotten one ❤ from VGG in the over 2 years I've been watching. Another way you can grow your channel is to go on tour. You know the ones VGG, JYD, and Pole Barn go to. If you can get a shout out on any of the big channels, you'll scoop up a bunch of subs. I don't know if you know Kevin at Junkyard Digs but if you find a Honda three wheeler. I'm thinking he would probably be willing to buy it from you. He finds them on Facebook market place and just can't resist himself. He is in Iowa I think. On the merchandise, I totally agree with the usable stuff. With your logo of course. Now with that, you should have stickers and I mean alot of stickers. Not just for sale ether!! Give them to everyone and put them where people can get them. You could also do some live streams, and of course give away some stickers in the live stream. You might even want to give stickers in other orders. I really hope you see this and it helps. You guys rock and I look forward to more videos. Happy new year ❤️🇺🇲💪
Happy new year! We've talked with Kevin before. Would like to do a build off at some point in life. We're mainly focused on growing organically as we can haha. VGG is great. We'll get to the merch part of things soon hopefully! Thanks for the comment. Happy new year!
For the three on the tree stuff, the trans is most likely a sideloader borg warner. Whatever it may be, its easy to convert to a floor shifter. If you felt like it!
The boomers whining about keeping it original are the types to have a classic car collection that sits on their garage, never gets driven, and only brought out once a year for a show. Cars should be driven imo
This the third time I've seen that wipe-on stuff look like crap. Sorry you wasted your time on it. That being said, the patina looks like shit. Like the lace though.
Nice job, guys! I was one of the guys who gave you sh!t about the drum/rotor thing, and I don't regret it one bit! Haha! Ya gotta have fun, and sometimes make fun, ya know? This 53 CustomLine was one awesome transformation. The lowering and wheels/tires really put it in a whole new category. The patina.....meh, not a big fan, as it's REALLY hard to create patina that looks like the honest-to-God real deal. Really not bad, though. That lace top really came out great, and the door panels and package tray look awesome! Overall, a great purchase and a great transformation! I really hope it does inspire younger folks to get into hot rodding the classics. That is a dying art form that needs to be revived and continued for sure!
Awesom man ! My family had one back in the early 50's. I was 7 and would ride in the back footwell with my 3 sisters on the seat. My mom would drive it too. A step up from the 46 LOL
Get ahold of Matt at Iron trap garage, he has the hop up knowledge and probably have all the old flathead profromance parts you'll need ,he has a UA-cam channel by the same name
@@janetc2092 judging by his cover photo and some thumbnails I'm not sure what you're referring to. He doesn't seem or look much a purist like your comment.
The metal work on that car couldve been done in 3-4 days...idk if you guys can weld or not, im new to the channel but it wouldve been very doable to do it right...hindsight being 20/20
Really liked the end result. My great grandparents had a black v8 shoebox and would talk about it from time to time. They would of went for a ride in this!
Great job guys! Love everything but the patina, but that’s personal choice. I would definitely prefer driving this over the stock condition. The lowering of an early 50’s car really makes a difference. Thanks for putting this out there.
I know leave original classics original I hate how people modernise and screw with all original classics get rusted out junk to do all that crap with!!!
@@amandastyles-uh6zx would you rather us keep it on the road or it rot and get sent to the crusher? All these negative comments make us want to do a video of us literally destroying it in a fun way. If you were at a car show and you saw us and this would you say anything or just type behind your keyboard?
Hey guys new to the channel love how raw yall are with the projects and remember those old guys were tearin up perfectly good cars at one time too thats where hot rods come from!
How the hell do yall only have 13k subs!? Great work, all the way around, the filming, the wrenching, and for making full posts! So many of these shows make you watch 15 episodes for this much transformation!
Much appreciated! We hope to keep growing and hopefully faster haha!
@@DailyDrivenDeathTraps keep it up like this and surely the sky is the limit! Definitely got my sub!
There growing quick they only had a little over a 1,000 subs about a month ago
14k now buddy
Agree. Just leave the car or truck s alone. I hate when people. Lower pick up truck s

Sounds sweet and lots of work! Gotta add a lil "you" touch for sure. Appreciate that!
Also that top is probably one of the coolest and neatest things I’ve ever seen hell of job!!!
My father had that car when I was a young child (61 now), but in green. Brought back memories. Glad you didn't paint the bullet.
Glad it brought back some good memories, thanks for watching!
Larger wires, less resistance, therefore less heat that would kill the battery. Keep the large wires!
Yeah we got roasted in the comments about this haha, we don't work on 6v systems that much. Converting to 12 soon.
Not necessary to convert to 12 volts if wires remain same heavy gauge and all grounds are cleaned with knife or wire brush. May also add a ground cable from engine to body. Make sure battery is good and fully charged. @@DailyDrivenDeathTraps

Old Fords are basically bulletproof. The Flathead V8 is also a legendary engine. Glad to see this car get a new chapter in its life

Right on! Thanks!
I'm the same. Much rather see it kept stock/original. My'47 Tudor sedan is all stock except for the 12v change done before I purchased the car.
I had a 52 Hard Top in 1961 and I loved that car so much. Lots of great memories. You boys are good at what you do even if you don't know it.
Thanks 🙌🏼🙌🏼
I have a 54 . Installed a 390 and a 4 spd . Raised the front 2 inches and the back 1 inch . Yes I raised it ! Added power disc brakes and a new front cross member. 22 years later I'm still driving it !
That sounds like a fun car for sure!
Took a ride in the day, 57 Custom 2dr post, 390/tunnel ram/top loader/4.56, set you in the seat right smartly.
Yes... Get these cars off the ground. Sounds like a winner!
Bro. I agree with your idea. This thing is rolling art and care. I love this thing

Your right idiots messed it up . Its originality made it unique Right on Brother your right
Don’t hate a build. Just cause it isn’t for you doesn’t mean it isn’t for anyone

I also have a 54 customline. Nunez is the 239 oh v8
You guys are cool you do cars like I used to do 😊
Niceee!
Dang, you got a damn good taste in cars.
Haha, thanks!
The patina is so good, good call
The 1953 to 56 Fords were the best looking of the big three.

Look good flat black. With torque thrust wheels but those smoothies look awesome too
wow that is one nice car love it

The "slots" in the brake drums are for final brake shoe adjusting with a feeler gauge stuck in the slot between the drum and shoe.
Had a 53 Ford like this in HS.put blocks of ice in the trunk to get around in the snow!
Haha, good memories!
Wpw y'all really fucked that 53 ford up. it already had cool patina paint, all you had to do was buff it.
Glad you love it so much, thank you thank you! We love making your builds the way YOU want them!
First time watching the channel I love this build, I can’t believe how good the rear rims and tires look, the lowering and rake is perfect, love the whole car
Thanks! We love how it turned out as well!
Needs a 2x2 intake for an 8ba, aluminum heads and a cam, will pep her up a ton
Sweet, we'll look into that!
That is one SWEET RIDE!!!
Appreciate it!👍🏻
As a boomer, and a grandpa, you boys keep playing, would soon see this than excising your thumbs on video game,
OMG THAT BROWN CAR WITH THE BLUE STRIPS REMINDS ME OF THE CAR FROM THE MOVIE "CHRISTINE"...I CAN HEAR HIM SAY "SHOW ME WHAT U CAN DO"...🚗 💋
Your ford has 110 horse power and it looks like shit after you lowered it ..that propane heater will kill you
Well done from australia. Iv.e got a 53 sedan, giving an old man ideas.
Glad you liked it! So cool we have viewers from Australia!
Really hate what you did to an original classic car ! Getting it running and back on the road was great and all that was needed!
Well at least it's on the road, but our car and our budget build vid! Thanks for watching!

The 6 volt system needs the big cables what you need to do is put an 8 volt battery in it and it will turn over better.that is a good car I hope you guys don't destroy it..
Thats a nice old car...u are a lucky man. ..
Thanks 👍
I really don't like fake patina, but yours came out nice. I think a matte clear would have been nicer.
Matte always does look great. Next build.
I am 57 and I love what you have done. Merry Christmas and Happy New year's from Newfoundland Canada.
Happy holidays! Canadians are always nice aren't they haha!
Wait till you get a little older , youll like 4 doors lol
Flatheads are nice motors , I would leave it as it is.
We most likely will
Another awesome video guys 👏 keep it up
Alot of people are gonna complain about the paint but it's your car and it's cool to see something different
Thank you! Yeah people are gonna complain but that's the Internet haha, hopefully most will like it or at least find if entertaining!
I agree with your coyote swap suggestion
Love the background music Colter Walls. Great content 👌
Why do you want to lower it that's stupid
You guys are severely underrated. I think of all my favorite car guys you are in the top three

You could also do some live streams, and of course give away some stickers in the live stream. You might even want to give stickers in other orders. I really hope you see this and it helps. You guys rock and I look forward to more videos. Happy new year ❤️🇺🇲💪
Happy new year! We've talked with Kevin before. Would like to do a build off at some point in life. We're mainly focused on growing organically as we can haha. VGG is great. We'll get to the merch part of things soon hopefully! Thanks for the comment. Happy new year!
For the three on the tree stuff, the trans is most likely a sideloader borg warner. Whatever it may be, its easy to convert to a floor shifter. If you felt like it!
Not sure what we'll end up doing next!
Whatever you do, im sure itll be great
Noooo dont cut hole in floor. Leave on tree. Ruins s value.
Love the flannel idea, whole car turned out way better than I expected tbh. I'd daily the hell out of that thing
The boomers whining about keeping it original are the types to have a classic car collection that sits on their garage, never gets driven, and only brought out once a year for a show. Cars should be driven imo
Haha thanks! This is true! They should just be happy young guys are working on old stuff and they're getting used.
Awesome job, car turned out bad ass looking. I absolutely love your channel and can’t wait for future videos. Great job. 👍👍
Thanks! Glad you like it and the video, see you in the comments of the next one I hope!
"Looks" instead of repairs to preserve the car is stupid.
@@jeffryblackmon4846 then buy it and "preserve" it yourself
Exactly, keep doing what you’re doing guys. Don’t worry about the trolls out here.
The song Green Onions comes to mind to me for some reason. 👍👍
Nice, But I would have updated the electric , brakes ,exhaust, Interior and left the rest alone. YES ! A daily driver.
Electric will be updated here soon at least
24:03 hell yeah. Get this thing hammered! Love it boys
all the work to make it look old not to me repaint it same color and clear it . the body is so straight
It turned out great not just okay
Glad you liked it!
This the third time I've seen that wipe-on stuff look like crap. Sorry you wasted your time on it. That being said, the patina looks like shit. Like the lace though.
Glad we can agree on the lace
Nice job, guys! I was one of the guys who gave you sh!t about the drum/rotor thing, and I don't regret it one bit! Haha! Ya gotta have fun, and sometimes make fun, ya know? This 53 CustomLine was one awesome transformation. The lowering and wheels/tires really put it in a whole new category. The patina.....meh, not a big fan, as it's REALLY hard to create patina that looks like the honest-to-God real deal. Really not bad, though. That lace top really came out great, and the door panels and package tray look awesome! Overall, a great purchase and a great transformation! I really hope it does inspire younger folks to get into hot rodding the classics. That is a dying art form that needs to be revived and continued for sure!
Lowered cars suck! Why didn't you put stinkin bags on it? You better have your AAA card with you when you have a rear flat tire.
Why would we need aaa when we're dddt
Awesom man ! My family had one back in the early 50's. I was 7 and would ride in the back footwell with my 3 sisters on the seat. My mom would drive it too. A step up from the 46 LOL
Right on!
I think you should have jush polished lt beause it was nice befor you started to mess it all up
Well, we mess it up the way we want to mess it up, thanks
Painting it all black would have been really nice.
That was a thought
Get ahold of Matt at Iron trap garage, he has the hop up knowledge and probably have all the old flathead profromance parts you'll need ,he has a UA-cam channel by the same name
We'll definitely look into that, thanks!
I was about to say the same thing
If they iron trap garbage they would be asking what the hell did they do to that car
@@janetc2092 judging by his cover photo and some thumbnails I'm not sure what you're referring to. He doesn't seem or look much a purist like your comment.
That lace top is killer, awesome work guys!
Thank you!
The metal work on that car couldve been done in 3-4 days...idk if you guys can weld or not, im new to the channel but it wouldve been very doable to do it right...hindsight being 20/20
It is much worse than the Camara shows.
Really liked the end result. My great grandparents had a black v8 shoebox and would talk about it from time to time. They would of went for a ride in this!
Nice! Thanks!!!
Don't care for how low it is , the fake patina is getting old everyone lowers their vehicle. I do like the interior. 1:15:30
Glad you like them interior at least!
You need to put oil in that car that has zinc in it
2 door or 4 door, it's still cool!
Restore that car don't butcher it. Never mind making it" pop ".
We'll do what we want, thanks!
My first car was a 1953 Ford 2 door flathead V8 with three on the tree. Powder blue.
Nice!
Great job! Next time try a heavy duty polishing compound with the da for a more blended patina look.
Thanks! Will do!
Great job guys! Love everything but the patina, but that’s personal choice. I would definitely prefer driving this over the stock condition. The lowering of an early 50’s car really makes a difference. Thanks for putting this out there.
you do nice work ,but to old timer like me you ruined a perfectly good car
We can at least sorta agree on one thing haha. Thanks for watching!
I know leave original classics original I hate how people modernise and screw with all original classics get rusted out junk to do all that crap with!!!
@@amandastyles-uh6zx would you rather us keep it on the road or it rot and get sent to the crusher? All these negative comments make us want to do a video of us literally destroying it in a fun way. If you were at a car show and you saw us and this would you say anything or just type behind your keyboard?
@@DailyDrivenDeathTraps hey I didn't say I didnt like it you guys did a good job 😁👍
@@DailyDrivenDeathTrapsim just a little sad to see it loose it's all original look
Hey guys new to the channel love how raw yall are with the projects and remember those old guys were tearin up perfectly good cars at one time too thats where hot rods come from!
Hey! Thanks for watching and making this perfect comment! 💪🏻💪🏻
