ya I kinda firgured it be something like that given your name and all. The 53 is in good shape. I wish my grill was as nice as yours, you cant tell in the pics but i got a bit of a dent on the passenger side grill where the previous owners mechanic drove it into a tool box. It looks like a very very nice project. I got lucky with mine, it had a partial resto like 20 years ago. Has only 56,000 original miles on it and motor has never been rebuilt

mine is pretty much allright. the wiring is shot , butchered by the p.o. the flatty has been apart before . and when i got it i had to put a new valve two new guides and some other things in it as the po bent it and got carried away when it got drug back out . it was frozen up . it aint perfect but she's mine and i love her . the name comes from the fact that my 55 was a one ton car hauler before it morphed into a 1/2 ton .

boring
Here is a picture of my '48 flathead. I hope! Oh! It looks like they came up.
The pretty chromed one is from a car at the Blackies Car Show held each year in Fresno,CA. The cars are by invatation only. Yep, you have to be asked to bring your car to this show. Needless to say, the cars are all exceptional.
