My Dad used to have a "54" Ford, with the half glass top, Sunliner? Anyway, I was about 3 or 4, I used to love sitting between my Mom and Dad, looking out the roof. Your body looks really straight, to bad about the rust. Is there much bondo in it?
@@anthonymaniz9896 not really sure. Been researching for a later model chassis with same wheel base,so far the closest I’ve come is a 77 Pontiac full size sedan that has a half inch longer wheelbase, but has a wider track than I’d like. I don’t want to cut the wheel wells to fit the body on,so looking at my ‘82 Malibu chassis,which is shorter and narrower, but could stretch the frame 7.5 inches to match my Ford. Track width is quite close according to what I’ve found online.
ParkerTheMechanic titled as a 52 Ford. Treat it like a motor swap or s10 frame swap. I title what is seen, not what’s under the hood or body in this case.
I would be interested in that Rad or the overdrive transmission. I am working on a 1953 Customline. 🙋♂️👍 I am keeping my frame but after seeing the condition of yours I can understand your choice. Mine wil be staying flathead and 6 volt. Check out my beastie, ua-cam.com/video/QPiO5tWOcTo/v-deo.html
subbed... I'm doing an engine swap but this is beyond insane to me. A body swap is a game changer. A new coyote engine would be a nice final touch
Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls God Bless Ya 🙏
@9:00 "estimate going down another 8 inches" Yup that's the standard dimension of a cement block.
Hell I would keep the flat head
I'd like to have the old frame and flathead for a rat rod project.
I’m doing a similar project but with a 64 comet on a crown Vic
I think the upper part of the rear wheel opening would be the last place I'd pick up by
So what year of vic did you use ?
And how wide are the 52 ford's compared to a 54-56 sedan delivery ?
I have a 48 Angela thinking about doing a body swap just kind of wondering what would fit under it do you have any idea thanks
I can't believe the time ., energy and money went into ......2 DOOR SEDAN...well as they say...to each his own......good luck
Cool 👍🏻....how do you title a car for a project like this? Nevermind, just read an old response...awesome!
How are you going to overcome the track width distance between the crown Vic chassis and the body?

No clamps on front lift point dangerous apart from that grest
Lots of work. How many times were you told ‘just use an S10 frame’,the universal fix it that fits under every old car ever built?
Hi I'm doing a 54 mercury 2dr sedan I want to do a swap any sugestions thank you

Can I do the same for a 1956 Fairlane
How do you take care of the titling nonsense? Do you get it custom or just use one of the original titles?

this is NOT a Crown Vic
