Features 41-48 Ford and Merc Picture Thread!

What drop of the axle? 4"?

 

Hoping you guys can help identify this car. I THINK it is a 1946 Ford, but hoping someone with more knowledge can help. Sorry this is the best picture I have.

 

I think you have the year about right, but I don't think that is a Ford of any kind.

 

My pet car..............
"42 Ford 2 door.
I have others, too, but this one is my favorite.

 

Some I saw at Detroit Autorama last weekend.

 

The green 41 and the 47 w/flames are from my area

 

Is the green one the one that got chopped at Mike's chop cl***?

 

^^Yes^^

 

Dean Jeffries owned and Kustomized this 47 . Kustomrama provide pictures and info . The car had spotlights and louvers when He got it .

 

I wish I knew more about this one.

 

Kelly Burns, It was in the Rodder's Journal a few years back. Well before the covid **** started.

 

It sure looks and sits right

Helping a buddy lower this 48. Front is done, onto the rear.

 

Thanks! I'll have to try and find it! Any guess of roughly when it was?

 

@53olds

The stance is much better!!! Looking good!!!!
Tell us more about the car. How did you lower the rear? What motor? Future plans?
I’m digging the reversed rear wheels

 

I'll have to find out more info, but it belongs to my old boss and he's having another friend do all this work. He installed a dropped axle and did some work to the front spring and removed some. The rear he removed leafs. It has a stockish flathead with 4spd. It's going to be up on the market real soon!

 

@53olds I really like it, I wish I could find one like it!

 

I bet he used some really long shackles if it's a buggy spring in the rear. Or maybe he flattened the rear crossmember. Certainly more than just leaf removal

 

I looked threw the Rodders Journal instagram last night and didn't see it. I could be mistaken about it being Rodders Journal, but I'm pretty sure it was. Street Rodder, or Rod & custom is the only other magazine it could have been.

 

@Fat *** Whitewalls I appreciate your taking the time to look! I dug around a little myself.

Maybe the power of the H.A.M.B. will find help me find out more about it!

 

Yes he did flatten it as well I forgot that part!

 

@Kelly Burns: The 46 Ford is in Rodders Journal No. 39. Many greetings from germany!

 

There ya go^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

@Michu Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!

@Fat *** Whitewalls the power of the HAMB!!

 

Helped my buddy deliver the 48 tonight. So suspension specs are: 4" dropped axle, 2 leafs removed, front and rear springs have eyes reversed, rear spring 6 leafs removed. Stock shackles front and rear.
