Ron Dunn Ford in bare metal

METAL MAGIC RON DUNN FORD

The team at Steve’s Auto Restoration in Portland Oregon has been working very hard on the restoration of the Ron Dunn 1950 Ford.

[dropcap]The[/dropcap] Ron Dunn Ford was originally built by the famous Valley Custom Shop. And the team at SAR is restoring the car back to its last full Valley Custom Shop version. They will also built a clone of the first version done in the early 1950’s. But we will get back to that at a later date. The photos in this article show how far the team has come with the restoration The body is in bare metal and most of the car has been put back together now to get ready for a photo shoot at the Rodder’s Journal in San Francisco. We are looking forward to see the wonderful photos of Steve Coonan and Geoff Miles in an upcoming issue of the Rodder’s Journal.

These bare metal photos show the amazing proportions of the 1950 Ford. The perfect balance between the sectioned body, the stock height top and the radiused wheel openings. This Custom is a true masterpiece. 

The dash has been wonderfully restored, painted and put back together and shows us a hint of the things we will see in the near future.
