Very nice blending of the different year parts and the subtle detailing make this ride way cool. My first car was a '53 Ford, stock 2, but this one is a real beauty.

[RamblinAround]

@dickylobster I think they did a real nice job with it. Thanks for checking it out!

I see what people mean about the steering wheel, most definitely the part that needs changing the most to stay in-keeping with the rest of this beautiful looking car...

[supercargarage]

I like the car and all the custom work, but I wish it had a nice looking steering wheel.

It is a dream machine ! . great video ! ! !

[RamblinAround]

@supercargarage It really could use a better wheel. Thanks for checking it out!

When I first looked at this one I thought he just grafted a 49 clip onto a 53 Ranchero but on second look I noticed that he changed the rear side windows to resemble the sporty 49 Country Squire and the doors are also canted like thpse on a Country Squire. That power train is a good choice for a sporty, family wagon.

[RamblinAround]

@clausewitzmoltke You definitely picked up on all the subtle details. Thanks for checking it out!

[FatGuyWithAKatana]

you've got some self control to focus on one car at a time. i'd be like "ooh look at that, and that, AND THAT" those stang 5.0's sound good yep.

[RamblinAround]

@FatGuyWithAKatana There really is a lot to look at in there, that's for sure. Thanks for watching, my friend!

[paradoxdesigns]

thats actually pretty cool. i've seen people put cressida front ends on supra's before and make sort of frankenstein monsters in the same way, but it didnt look bad at all. there's some creative folks out there.

[RamblinAround]

@paradoxdesigns The definitely did a nice job of blending it all together on this one. Thanks for taking a look!

[IHcubcadet]

Slick ride. Nice

[RamblinAround]

@IHcubcadet Thanks for watching!

[GeneralGHustler]

haha you found Tim Taylors car lol i like the car ... but i hate wood grain unless its on the steering wheel lol

[RamblinAround]

@GeneralGHustler That little bit of wood grain doesn't bother me on this one. It does look a lot like Tim's car.

[GeneralGHustler]

@RamblinAround haha its has more power too lol im not a fan of wood grain pannels or trim and i cant stand white walls lol

[josderedneck22]

Hey that shure is a nice car Jeff !! It looks a lott like the car Tim Allen had in Home improvement.

Same body shape and color anyway. I like it a lott man !! The perfect color for me.....

[RamblinAround]

@josderedneck22 I think you're right Jos...it does look a lot like Tim's car. Thanks for watching, my friend!

[Busia1949]

I am surprised that you didn't make note of the subtle blend of the red to dark red paint scheme. The transition from the 53 to 49 front end is seamless and done to look like it grew there. A really nice job. I would have loved to see what all they had to do to make it match up so well. Really nice car. If I were in the market for a new car, I would do this instead.

[RamblinAround]

@Busia1949 They definitely did a nice job of blending it all together. Thanks for checking it out, George!

[koioo2]

very nice !!!!

[RamblinAround]

@koioo2 Thanks for watching!

[cheddyrod]

A lot of time and money went into this Ranchero. That new power plant sure will make this a nice cruiser.

[RamblinAround]

@cheddyrod Thanks for taking a look!
