It is beutiful!!
You are only missing a few things, other than that it looks to be in great shape. I would say on most of the vehicles of this age no matter what a frame off restoration is always needed but yours looks like it is in wonderful shape. If my 53 was in this shape I would be driving it!!
Great pics always good to see. The age? Shocks look to be original frame brackets those did not come about until 52 or 53 if I am not mistaken
