Features 41-48 Ford and Merc Picture Thread!

These cars have really started to appeal to me in the last few years, A fellow club member has a 46 sedan that is still pretty much original and it certainly is a great driver. HRP

 

heres mine for the first time on here.
the green paint wasnt original so I felt good about a fresh coat of barceloa blue

 

Got mine back on the road yesterday. New rad, short water pump and a heater! The boys favorite car!

First time I've heard it referred to as a "California Dash" I've got one in my cpe I put it in there in the early 90's

 

I don't remember now who I got it from, it's been a number of year's but that's what they called it in their catalog, a "3 piece California Dash". Might have been something that the vendor added.

 

Grumpy, you never know Bitchin may have changed it after I bought mine. On mine I built a lower panel that goes low enough to cover the steering column as I didn't like the look of the column just hanging there plus it gave me room for the radio and other things.

 

I bought a lower panel from Bitchin for ignition switch, headlight & wiper switches, a/c vents & controls.

It's hard to see from these pictures...

 

As you can see the one I made is deeper. I thought about the one from Bitchin but it wasn't as deep I really wanted

 

Look's good...

 

I used on from Bitchin with some modifications

 

Nice looking

 

Can't believe I missed this thread till now. So full of great pics and information, it took me a while to get all the way through it. Here's my 47 long door coupe, I've owned it for about 8 months I guess. Still need to do a few things to finish it up, but my time & money have been taken up by the 30 pickup, so I'm just enjoying the hell out of this the way it is. Need to drop the front 2 - 3". It needs some door glass weather stripping, especially for the wind wings. Anyone got any tips for that?

 

@Blues4U Lookin good! Did you drive the coupe or the truck New Years Day? Here is a pic from last week just across the Vincent Thomas Bridge from Long Beach to San Pedro

Since the wife stayed home and I was on my own I decided to take the pickup. It would've been nice to have actual functioning windows and a heater though, maybe the coupe would've been the wiser choice!

 

Like the color and stance, leaning toward painting my 46 Merc. Coupe the same color

 

Drove the cpe Tues and everything was brown. Then yesterday morning it started snowing and we ended up with just over an inch of the white stuff. So I'm glad I got it out when I did
