Features 41-48 Ford and Merc Picture Thread!

Here is my 46 Super deluxe fordor, Dixie Delux. It runs the stock flathead through open exhaust. The already nosed hood will be louvered and the side trim removed, replaced with a 51 ford CUSTOM fender spear. I have had some new "old" pinstriping added to the original patina'd fenders. I hope to have the distinct body line on the front fenders scalloped. I have 53 buick headlight rims for it. Presently, my fog lights are the turn signals. They'll be removed because the buick parking light will act as turn signals.

 

My 48 and my plans

 

DrivenDead, what are those headlight rings?
I like it!

 

...to my eye, this car is flat out beautiful

Here's one of my 41 Mercs

 

Here's our 46

 

For some more pics, check out a thread I did a couple of years ago, A tale of 3 chops and the revival of the 41 to 48 fords

 

Dang, that's tasty. What's under the hood? How'd you get it so low?

 

Tall grass haha its as low as I can get it with out scrub line issues, or shorter tires.

The bottom of the front bumper gaurds are 8.5 inches from the ground with a 27 inch tall tire.

Front: stock cross member, posies 3 inch drop spring with reverse eyes, longer shackles, pan hard bar modified to work with the changes and a dropped stock axle from Sid. Havnt measured how much drop is actualy there. I could get it lower with a shorter tire but I'd rather have the tire tuck up in there a little.

In the back I have a tci parallel spring set up with no blocks or anything and the same 27 inch tall tire in back.

Still have the stock front sway bar but we did end up putting tube shocks in front.

This summer I might borrow a pair of taller tires to try on back, and I plan on eventually putting a fatter sway bar on front and adding one on the back but those don't have anything to do with ride height haha

 

Shot of it with no grass, no caps and very dirty.

 

Oh and @Bigcheese327 it's got a little baby stroker sbc in it

I know this is a picture thread so I was wondering if one of you guys can post a pic of the tool tray in the trunk of a 46 coupe.
I'm in the process of having floors put in and wanted to see what it looked like.
Thanks.

 

Fibben, that is very cool...nice job!

 

I love these bumpers. Anyone know what car they might be from?
