Tips On The Best Fords To Modify
The next version of the Fairlane is shown here in Mercury Cyclone incarnation. The slippery fastback roofline worked out well at the racetrack, and the famous NASCAR Talladega was based on this body style.
The full-sized Ford Galaxie makes an excellent restomod. This '64 wagon is an awesome example with its shaved exterior, custom paint, and oversized rolling stock. This big car has plenty of room for everybody, and the FE engine provides plenty of power to get the radical wagon moving.
With such exquisite detail, the full-sized Fords were almost like a factory custom. This rear taillamp assembly is from a '63 Galaxie 500. You won't see this elaborate ornamentation and attention to detail on any modern car.
Another full-sized favorite with the restomod crowd is the Galaxie Starliner. This '61 version has been modified with a 427 SOHC engine and rear wheeltubs to accommodate full slicks.
The Starliner doesn't want for interesting detail either, and these falling stars on the rear-roof pillar are just one example of the detailing on these beautiful cars.
With first generation Thunderbirds going for over 30 grand, you'd think folks would be afraid to modify them, but this is not the case. This '55 Thunderbird is looking good with just chrome reverse wheels and baby moon hubcaps.
The Galaxie was restyled in 1965, and this is the '67 version. This hardtop with its elegant styling and fastback roofline makes a good-looking subject for modifications.
This very yellow '55 T-Bird is the next step up the modification chain with a 385-series big-block engine and custom wheels.
Here is yet another '57 Thunderbird gone the restomod route. The wire wheels and unusual hardtop are two interesting features, but the big highlight on this car is the 427 SOHC engine.
