great body style. my 2 cents is to change the wheels, even to 5 spoke Torque Thrusts (not over 17"). but, skip the whitewalls. look aftermarket for a banjo style wheel.
I need to know what the rear suspension is??? and what rear tire / wheel is up under there.. I want mine to be that low...
Is that an XM antenna on the speaker grill? How does that work if it is? Good basis for just a good looking Ford, however you do it.
Needs something at the bottom to take away from all the blue.............maybe some stone guards or running board trim.
it is airbagged... got it that way Yes siriusxm. There is a box that hooks up to the alpine radio. You can link it to your account. Works great. Thanks for the ideas and comments so far everyone
Replace the springs in the door latches, too. That sagging handle is easily repaired. That 'seafoam green' was actually a Ford color. Black tires on steel reversed wheels, and some chrome trim on the running boards, also the gravel guards at the rear fenders as suggested would be my choice...and '50 Merc ash can caps... This '46 really grabs ya...
Chrome bumpers and the grille strips made a great improvement, good choice. Gigantic wheels and rubber band tires really don't look good on anything. 15" wheels, chrome-plated 5-spokes or polished aluminum slots, and black wall tires would be a nice change. I'm not a wide white wall guy.
You could sell those wheels and tires on Criagslist or Ebay and be ahead buying some Chromed OEM 56 Ford wheels, and a set of WWWs... JCWhitney still has an agreement with that Co. that makes white pleated vinyl seat covers... Check out Moon for a new steering wheel and call it good.
