Rumor has it that C@#$ pirated a Ford designer to make those grill designs! I dunno, just a rumor. Maybe started by Jerry C.

Oh, a CHEVY grill, that's why I thought it was a Mercury. I've always been fond of Chevys, and Fords. Mopars are the only things I am afraid of. I am really an AMC man, but there's none of them around.

FEAR AND LOATHING IN Y-BLOCK LAND!



It seems to me that the fear of speaking or writing the C word in this forum is completely paranoid and bogus!

Your '54 Ford looks great with that Chevrolet grille!

FIGHT CONFORMITY! 

Thank all of you for your compliments on my car.  Coming from all of you really means alot to me.  I did not build her for the attention she brings but it is nice to hear.

Nice Car! Great looking mill. I don't care where the grill came from. We old guys remember these customs.. yours hold with this tradition.



Keep on "Y ing"

Great looking 54, Shawniverse.

I think that grille looks pretty classic, like the De Soto grilles

you used to see on lots of hot rods.

Looks great to me.

Keep up the good work.

Sorry guys been working all weekend.  Thank you for all the comments on my car.  No it does not vent in to the trunk.  It vents under the car.  I also boxed in the filler neck in the trunk and vented that behind the license plate.  Jester, no it is not a merc.  Just a 54 Ford customline.   I have a left exhaust manifold but the linkage is in the way and I could not get it to fit.  That is my least favorate part under my hood.  I thought about a tubular grill but I am really pleased with how this one came out.   I used the orginal park lights from my grill and just changed the center bar.  The grill that was in it was UGLY.

Very nice.As was mentioned very tastefully done.The motor looks great!Well done.The only suggestion I would make is to try and find a left exhaust manifold for dual exhaust.

  

I gotta go with Bob on the Gas tank venting. I don't think a filler in the trunk is a good idea in any case. If the tank does not have a vent separate from the gas cap, which should be a non venting cap, change it now!.. Gasoline vapors are more dangerous than carrying Dynamite in your trunk!..

Nice car/tastefully done, but....(just my opinion), I would have thought the cleaner lines of a tubular grill more in keeping with the Ford's superior styling (?). The 54 scrub HAD to be one of the ugliest cars ever made.
