I believe that suspension is too wide for an F-1.
If it has finned aluminum drums in it like '65's you will not get 14" wheels to fit. Even most 15" aluminum wheels will not fit. Then the next...
Early EZ bake oven!
[IMG] Super Squirrel strikes again!
I think that I saw Corvette parts suppliers sell a brace that fits the door openings.
I would look around your neighborhood for a guy that has restored a few Fords. He probably has some in his junk drawer.
