Lengthened doors and fenders... what is your plan here? A three window?? Are you going to move the axle too?
you got it a three window coupe is the plan...... no the rear axle is in the same place but a little bit of metal work and its all centered .....the rear window will be about 18 inches forward from its original position ...its chopped about 4 3/4 ......
Cool. Are you going to lengthen the sail panel and move the rear of the roof forward like a typical ford 3 window? Skirts or no? Sled?
EXACTO>>>>>>>.you got it man a real three window coupe...it will look similiar to a zephyr...........i am still debating on skirts or not ....probally not....the rest will come in time ....lol.....cant give out to much info at once.....hopefully it will be back on the road this summer.............
damn, thats coming along fine. Did you raise the roof? the first set looks lower in the windshield area. It will be cool to see one finished and on the road. I have a 48 ford three window that I started 13 years ago. haven't touched it in years. I still want it more than any car I own but can't seem to find the time to finish the ch***is.
looks great, I took 6 inches out of my A pillar came to about 4 3/4 vertical drop what a doing with the ch***is and drive train?
its got a 302 that im putting back in it with a top loader four speed.....dropped spring and a four inch drop axle.......it has a nine inch rear end ....maybe one day ill bag the rear.........
I don't have any photo's down loaded right now. it's been posted here. I think Edsel slipped one on the "two cars i'd like to see finished post" and if you a magazine collection it was in Dec 94 Rod & Custom. mine is a real simple job. I can see put alot thought in this car and it shows great job.
