I am finally posting photos of my tudor. This is my first Hot Rod project. It has been two years but seems that it is taking forever. Mockup is nearly complete then I will blow it all apart for some final welding, grinding, and a little paint. Let me know what you think.
The rear is z'd 5". I would have liked to go lower but I had to keep a back seat. I can sit uncomfortably in the back. My wife and daughter can sit up comfortably. Glad you like it.
Firestone dirt tracks at all four corners. 500-15s on 5" rims 890-16s on 7" rims 46 ford caps Wheels and tires all came from Coker.
Here's another one of those kick *** sedan's like I said in one of my posts, that just puts us hackers to shame. Nice job all around. You'll be driving it in no time. Good luck with it. Keith
The top insert is from a 1980 Oldsmobile station wagon. This is the same as a Malibu or Buick wagon from the same years probably. Glad you like it.
It will be painted, or be in tinted primer. I like the suede paint look, and that was my first notion so that is probably what it will have for a while. I dont much care for the RAT ROD term, and would never consider my car a rat. I think to be a "rat rod" you car has to be an unproportioned, cobbled up piece of ****! My car doesn't meat the "rat rod" criteria.
