By Rowen - 8 Years Ago A request for pics of your cars. As a fairly new member of the "Y-Block fan club", I would very much enjoy and appreciate a thread that has pics of the member cars. The avitars are really small on my I-phone, ( no computer available) and so many of them are beautiful, (what I can see) that I m sure many of us here would like to see them in a larger format. I also have many ideas of my own for how I would like my 55CV to look when I'm finished (most likely never) with her and seeing pics of how you fellas accomplished certain looks would be great. I have posted many pics of my car on various threads already so I hope my redundancy here is ok, but I will start it off. I hope I'm not the only one that feels this way. Thanks muchly in advance. Rowen By 62bigwindow - 8 Years Ago Here is mine By 62bigwindow - 8 Years Ago And my uni By Meandean - 8 Years Ago It's a '55 but previous owner (I have no idea why) changed the tail light housing and lenses to '56's. By Rowen - 8 Years Ago Thanks 62 Bigwindow, beautiful wagon and I look forward to seeing your uni when complete! Rowen By MoonShadow - 8 Years Ago By miker - 8 Years Ago My first attempt at a photo. The bird and the 32 By Rowen - 8 Years Ago Mean dean, very nice. Is it all stock? Hope ya drive the heck out of it, she's a beaut! MoonShadow, I LOVE!! the louvors in the hood. Very pricey these days or I'd do the same thing. Are those dumps I see behind the front wheel? If so, what headers are you using? I also dig the wheels. And the roadster, well, what can I say,..."yeah, it's got a hemi!" Very kool! Thanks much for the photos fellas, very nice cars... Rowen By Rowen - 8 Years Ago Thanks miker, the bird is awsome (55s are my fav) the roadster is gorgeous. F-code very kool. I appreciate you fellas doin this.. Rowen By paul2748 - 8 Years Ago Pics of my 56 Bird went south when my computer screwed up By Rowen - 8 Years Ago Paul, all thre are very nice! I must confess, the 54 Vicky's my favorite.

By Cliff - 8 Years Ago That looks a lot like my shop By Rono - 8 Years Ago Here's a picture of our 56 "P" code Custom Ranch Wagon ( now under construction) next to our Customline Hardtop  By Rowen - 8 Years Ago Rono, both are beauties! So the "P" code engine, is that the 215 or 225 hp version? Either way, looks to be one bad a$$ wagon!! Love em both! Thanks for posting. Rowen By Rono - 8 Years Ago I believe it is the 225 HP Police Interceptor with the 3 speed Fordo. Thanks, Rono By Rowen - 8 Years Ago Rono, that's SICK!! I love it even more!! Thanks for the reply. Some day all of us nor/central cal guys are gonna have ta get together. I have a sneekin suspision it would be a great time! Rowen By Rono - 8 Years Ago YEAH...BOY!! Rono By Rowen - 8 Years Ago Stock 272 2V Fordo.  Even down to the 6 volt electricals. Unusual front push bar - I've only ever seen in pictures and only on '57's.  And a rear speaker and fader is another unusual option. Only 4X,XXX miles on the odo so I am judicious in adding more. [/quote] Meandean, mine as well but she has 104,000 on her. Before I die I hope she 304,000!!! By Meandean - 8 Years Ago Taking liberties with the request for photos.  And I know I've posted this link before. This is a video my best friend and I put together featuring my car and also a cameo of my brother's '57 custom. (Muscatine is the town I moved to (county seat) when I was 16 and thus graduated HS there). Getting Out of Muscatine By Rowen - 8 Years Ago Meandean, in my mind, no liberty at all. Loved the video. As a matter of fact, I wouldnt mind seeing more of them from anyone who cares to post. I asked for the photos because I love these/our cars. I am happily surprised by all the responses and i thank all those who have. I hope they keep coming in! Rowen By Ted - 8 Years Ago   272, ECZ-B intake with 525 Road Demon Jr, T-85 3 spd& overdrive, quarter million miles so far, scheduled to race in April at the 2016 Big Bend Open Road Race. By NoShortcuts - 8 Years Ago I L-O-V-E sleepers.  Nice!   By Rowen - 8 Years Ago Quote: ( quarter million miles so far,) Thanks so much Ted for posting that pic of your "sleeper"! I too love em!! With that many miles...well, your my kind o guy!! I appreciate all you do for our Y-Block obsessions! Rowen By Texas bird - 8 Years Ago   Here is a photo of my recently restored 57 Tbird. The 312 rebuilt by Ted Eaton. Thanks Ted By Rowen - 8 Years Ago Very nice 57 TexasBird, Ted IS the man! Rowen By 56_Fairlane - 8 Years Ago Here's my '56 at a park a few years ago. By Rowen - 8 Years Ago DJ, very nice town sedan. 30K original!?!? Lucky lucky boy!! Rowen By 56_Fairlane - 8 Years Ago Rowen (1/27/2016) DJ, very nice town sedan. 30K original!?!? Lucky lucky boy!! Rowen Thanks Rowan. It's almost at 31K. I still haven't driven it much since getting it 3 years ago. By Talkwrench - 8 Years Ago By Talkwrench - 8 Years Ago By Talkwrench - 8 Years Ago By Talkwrench - 8 Years Ago By Rowen - 8 Years Ago Talkwrench, those are all very nice!! Of course I'm partial to your 56!! I just love any and all 55-6-7 fords. But...now I'm conflicted,..after seeing your running board "ornament", I'm not sure who's more lucky, you or 56 fairlane. 8-O Rowen By Talkwrench - 8 Years Ago My wife was standing very close by when the photos were being taken ..... By 30 coupe - 8 Years Ago By Doug T - 8 Years Ago Well since it is "show and tell" time, here is my current project. Y Block power, AOD xmission, 9" M II front end with disc brakes all around. I finally finished the floors this last week. And no the T-bird HT is not part of the build :-). By Rowen - 8 Years Ago 30coupe, nice ride! Love anything y-block! Glad you didn't chop it!! Doug T, I dig the idea of a y-block in that falcon, what kind of ci, hp #s are ya lookin at? Thanks for postin fellas. Rowen By 30 coupe - 8 Years Ago Rowen, the coupe is chopped.  3" chop to the top, and 3" channel over the frame. not much room inside, but it sure is fun. a little tough for me getting in and out with a bad knee and back, but I don't care, it is ok once I am in. By Rowen - 8 Years Ago 30coupe, There go my novice eyes again! :0) I couldn't tell.. Well done. And "sure is fun" are the key words! Rowen By DryLakesRacer - 8 Years Ago Here's mine and an engine shot too. By Canadian Hot Rodder - 8 Years Ago By fastbillsgarage - 8 Years Ago My 55 Customline. Looking forward to learning a lot from this site. By 62bigwindow - 8 Years Ago Nice car. Looks like you lowered it a bit. How much did you lower it? By fastbillsgarage - 8 Years Ago Thanks. I did 4" blocks in the rear and aerostar coils up front. It would probably sit a bit lower with different tires but I wanted the original style 6.70 bias plys. they're a bit tall.  By 62bigwindow - 8 Years Ago Yeah, I was surprised how tall the 670's are. I'm putting some Firestone on my wagon. Do you have any trouble with rubbing in the front on hard turns? Im putting Aerostars on mine real soon with 2" blocks in the back. By fastbillsgarage - 8 Years Ago I've only driven it once since I lowered it because it's still not running just right but it seems to be OK. I turned the wheels lock to lock when I first put the springs in while I had it up. It looks like there's plenty of room. I'd really like it lower all around but I'm pretty close to the bump stops now. It's about as low as I can get without any further modifications. Maybe in the future I'll do a little more. Firestone's were what I put on mine too. I liked the piecrust with the wide whitewalls. If you order them from summit racing the shipping is free too. By MoonShadow - 8 Years Ago I used 3" blocks in mine but may go up to 2". In order to change a rear tire I have to take the shock loose and then jack it up by the frame. I am running 8" wheels though.
