Features 41-48 Ford and Merc Picture Thread!

I bought the car already chopped nitro.. I can tell you that there is about 10" of windshield height left after the chop.. There are a couple of pics of the work in progress as performed by Barry Mazza and fellow club members on Rik Hoving's terrific custom archive site: http://public.fotki.com/Rikster/11_car_photos/beautiful_custom_cars/barry_mazza_custom/ Check the folder of Barry's photo collection.

BcometFx - I'm digging the chop that's going on there! Nice work.

 

Biff's car from BTT Future

 

The car that inspired my love for '47-'48 Fords (even though it's usually a '46!). Such a great-looking car.

 

Nice nose job, car is super. Love the full moon hub caps.

 

Yes, the lowering, skirts, paint, all help -but those (Appleton?) Spot lights help as well Fantastic! Want to give it to me

 

In the three pictures you have three different types of hub-caps on this nice car. Half Moons with rings, Cadillac, and Full Moons. Nice nosing job too.

 

Hey Mr. Holley, you might want to make sure you quote the posting that you're replying to. Otherwise no one knows to what you are referring.

 

It's actually a good friend mines car. We have been working on it for a few years. Should be on the road in the spring.

This blue Tudor is tasty. If anyone knows the owner can you PM me their contact information?

Thanks,

Thor

 

Here is my 48....Great car, even my wife drives it. Run 2 different sets of wheels on it, one more HAMB friendly than the other. Want to make some changes on the car but it's hard to tear down a car that gets driven often

 

Here is mine at Iron Invasion!

 

...and again at Symco

This is for sale at one of our local "classic car sales" lots.

 

Sharp period look - suspect it was powered by a flathead Ford - other cool engine is the Caddy.

 

That was the car that started my affair with fat fender Fords.. I still have the magazine, somewhere.
Since the sixties I have had a total of eight 41,42, 46-48 Fords and Mercs. Still have three 46-48 Ford business coupes.. Waiting in line for next project

 

I'm not affiliated with these guys at all, but it does look like a nice build, flathead and all!

 

Still hunting for color photos of it! Really want to see that "vibrant Tangerine orange..."

 

Ttt

 

this is one my favorites that i've run across

 

Traded my 63 Galaxie for this 46 last year...can't wait for nicer skies!

 

Like the color.

 

Here's mine - built in the 80s - driven all over the country - still have. No bags - its always that low

 

I like the scoops behind the wheelwells, that looks really neat. What are your plans for the front?

 

I like this car. This was in one of the Dan Post books.
