    Very cool, Chuck! I saw that car in the Cl***ifieds and thought it seemed like a good deal. What a perfect driver -- looking forward to seeing you get it on the road!

    Cnograts - Cool. imagine that you will be lowering it. lots of low buck info here to do that. but, do it before investing in reversed rims to make sure that you will have turning clearance for front.

    I also looked at that one in the cl***ifieds. Looked like a solid piece to build on. Keep us updated on any changes you make.

    Nice ride!! I love the late 40's Ford cars! Anyone can build a 1940 Ford or a 49-51 shoebox but it takes a special breed to love one of these! All about being just a little different!
