1955 Ford Crown Victoria Resto-Mod

I did a body off frame, rotisserie, nut and bolt restoration. I did this car for myself and now that the fun is over I want to do something else. I built this car to drive, it is restomod style, looks close to original, but has lots of stuff to make it run, drive and stop better "some people call this style Pro Touring".

EXTERIOR: I consider the paint show quality! The body is straight and there are no dents, dings or defects of any type. The paint is PPG brand with lots of pearl, its a deep copper color, it was color sanded and buffed to a very high gloss. The body was sandblasted and sealed before any work was done.

GLASS AND WEATHER STRIPPING: All new glass other than the rear glass. All new weather stripping and rubber.

EXHAUST SYSTEM: Dual aluminized pipes, with Flow Master Mufflers, the tips are the 50s style with the V8 logo on them. The exhaust has the deep Muscle Car sound.

CHROME AND STAINLESS: All new, polished or replated.

WHEELS AND TIRES: The wheels are Billet Specialty Hoppsters, the tires are BF Goodrich TA radials. The tires are 2.25-70s and 15 inch. They will rub the fender shirts a little on a hard turn coming out of my drive way, but I don't won't to go any smaller, no rub with the shirts off. To me its nothing to worry about, it is very slite.

INTERIOR: Custom, but in the style of the original "its a 100% new"

AIR CONDITIONING AND HEAT: New Vintage Air with heat, defrost and air. The ducts are built into the dash!

SOUND SYSTEM: New AM/FM CD with good speakers.

MECHANICAL: I put a rebuilt Mustang 5.0 HO roller in because its my favorite engine. It has a Edlebrock intake and Edelbrock Thunder Series carburetor. The transmission is a rebuilt automatic overdrive AOD.

FRONT-END: Made by FatMan, it is power rack and pinion with stainless steel control arms "its a frame clip".

BRAKES: Disc on the front and drum on the rear, they are power, the booster and master cylinder are chrome.

ELECTRICAL: 12 volt with all new wiring and a 1 wire chrome alternate.

GAUGES; They are by Auto Meter and all work.

LIGHTS: They all work.

WIPERS: They are electric and work.

LITTLE STUFF: Lots of little stuff like a new gas tank, new drive shaft and lots more.
