Features 41-48 Ford and Merc Picture Thread!

Awesome!

 

Love it!

 

Looks Great! How Much chop? Can you measure the windshield height? Thanks!

 

Thanks for all the nice comments Marty. I have exactly 9 1/2 inches of glass from rubber to rubber along the centre post. Not sure how that compares to the stock height as the car was chopped before I bought it. I would like to have the un-chopped number as i believe the initial chop to be about 5 inches?

This ('48?) was apparently shot in the early days of the Calgary Alberta drags. Great example of the sort of "cruiser" on the streets in "everytown USA (Canada?)".

Did you notice the white wall winter grips? Coolness!

Here's my 48 I've been working on.

 

Do you want to comment on the work you did on the suspension set-up to get the perfect stance. I applaud your choice of wheel color. I rally against the seemingly obligatory use of red wheels. Although, for your car, red wheels would have been a good choice. I am glad you used restraint and chose a color that makes your Ford stand out from the crowd!

 

Reverse eye springs, front and rear, 4 inch shackles, front and rear, dropped axle, modified panhard bars. The gold rims match the interior trim ( speedo face, horn button). Next is dual exhaust. It's so quiet with it's stock exhaust, I have to look at the oil pressure gauge to make sure it's still running...

Tom Branch just got his 46 coupe on the road. This is still a strait axle car

 

And my 46 that I'm working on

Sometimes its better to not change much. TIMELESS

 

Nice HDMAN6465! Do you have more pics (other angles)?

Dave

 

This is not to imply that this is the same car. Just noting that some things never go out of style.

 

That brown chopped Merc is sweet!! Thanks for posting!!

 

I saw this '41 today at Goodguys, what a fine automobile!

 

That IS a nice Merc El Scotto! He really pulled that bumper in! Those big headlight rings (Cordoba?) seem to work on that front end as well!

Dave

 

Been doing some work on the back end of mine. Still deciding what grille and headlight combo to go with.

Glad to see the big old hideous taillights are gone. These look much better. Now to change the steering wheel....

 

Is it the stock taillights you object to, or the big old hideous taillight stands? Dixie Delux has had the stands removed, leaving only the taillights:

 

A few more..
