Hot Rods Sold my Roadster and bought this...

the paint is bad****.This will definitely be a nice addition to the roadent family.Stay tuned guys the Pack Rat is coming,

 

Yeah this is real patina... Not something made in a body shop. It will stay just like this, for a LONG time. Not many pre-'50 Fords still have the original paint. I'll be leaving it alone. Paint wise anyway.

Dropped axle is on the way. 7.50X16 Wide Whitey Cokers for the rear.

Can't wait.

Damn nice find Kevin. Those '41-'48 Fords have always been a favorite for me. Yours looks very solid, and the choice to leave it alone with a drop and stop plan sounds good. Keep posting pictures of it.

 

good deal man - looks like a good one

 

I'll have to run it by the grand poobah,but I'm sure its club quality..lol.Did you finish the bike?or the A....or the...hahahah just yanking ya.Do I know this "rouge" brother?....Dave

 

Looks good Kevin!

 

Tudor does have a SBC in his '46.

 

Mine will have a flathead until it is not money happy. Then its SBC boys... The easy way. I know SBC engines came along way later, but we can build 6 SBC engines for what one Flatty costs.

Yeah the "rougeoutlaw" is one of us. He's the brother of my brother inlaw... I know that sounds stupid, but he's in. '55 Packard Clipper gets him in.

 

Great lookin car

 

Your chapter,your call....If you dig him,I'm sure he's fine.Anyone cutting up a packard is all right with me. D

 

I never could tell the difference between a ford and a chevy. I'm a MOPAR guy

 

Looks good to me! Looks fine I'd just make it safe and dependable to drive and well then...drive it! Cars are only original once! Love a scarred up survivor better that a resto any day!

 

Great score Kevin and much more comfy than the truck! Cant wait for a ride...

 

I'll keep you posted on the progress, but I've gotta get it here first. Should be in here next week sometime. It's in St. Louis waiting on one of our trucks to come thru there. Got a Sid's dropped axle and some Hot Rod engine parts on the way. Can't wait to get started on this one. Maybe it won't take much to get it going.

Damn that looks like a killer start. How do you guys find these rust free cars? Glad to see you are going to leave the flathead in there. Most people just yank them out and put in a SBC. Good find!

 

its sweet man i love um!!!

 

I like the scarred ones too. Stop and Steer... Thats my game plan. Maybe some cool stuff under the hood too.

Whats the factory color on this one? Let me know Ford guys?

Thanks,
Kevin

 

Looks like Feather Gray to me. What do you guys think?

 

Its taking me a little longer than expected but the pack rat is going to be one of a kind.I'm new to the vintage scene but I think I've finally found something I love.

 

First thing to know is that the rogue is down with the roadents and loyalty is the key to life.Family reigns above all others.and it is not rouge it is the rogue

 

I have a soft spot for these too.
Dump it, some mags, some rake.

Something like this?

 

I like it Jeem...but with steelies and white walls.

 

Rouge,o.k. sorry,if you can spell you may be over-qualified to be a roadent. Dave

 

I think you should start a new trend with it, vintage DONK!

 

WTF is a Donk? Doesn't sound like my kind of trend....

 

Thats some great art work. You should draw Ooltewah's car, but make the paint look like it does in his pictures. That would be cool.

 

wow, nice project. get to wrenchin!

 

Cool project, and cool cars to fool with. I used to own a '47.

 

Sweet car cant wait to see what you do with it.
