Hot Rods Let's have our own 85th anniversary event for the 40 ford...

This thread makes me happy. Keep em coming boys.

 

Is it me, an optical illusion, or has the body and frame been stretched between the door and rear fender?

 

..I would never rule it out and hopefully someone will know for sure. I think that it could just be a combination of the size of the top, the skirts and the Black color as well makes it look that way. I see what you are seeing though.

 

Hmm…I don’t remember thinking it seemed stretched in that area in person, but that was also a year ago at Detroit Autorama.

 

I saw this one posted on the Insta this morning. I don’t know anything about it but lots of interesting work here.

 

Check out Ken Costello 39 Ford on Kustomrama. Later owned by Willy Ouimette. Chopped and sectioned (which is responsible for "visually" raising front and rear fenders). One of my favorite 39/40 Ford coupes,, along with Doug Rice's "Bonneville Boomer".

 

Thanks, it’s so good.
