Another henry J build

x2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

A face only a mother could love! LOL The first pic is when I raised the front end. The next pic is with the rear end raised.

 

Looks good Jack. What front axle & rear end did you use?

 

What about Orange and White like the old Creamsickles divided by a narrow pinstripe of contrasting orange and white following the body contour?

 

I like it a lot! HRP

 

Clik,
You read my mind.

 

David,
I built my own front axle using '54 Chevrolet truck spindles. The rear end is a Ford 9 inch.

 

HRP,
She's taking on a whole new attitude.

 

I just found a '51 all orginal , going tomorrow for my first peep. Been in a storage locker for 40 years . Wondering what to do with it.
B.B.

 

Bowtie,
Keep us posted. Us Brown's have got to stick together. LOL

 

Man Jack, seeing that out of the garage and in daylight is a delight, looks really good out there.

 

Looks like a toy sitting outside. The higher it gets, the smaller it looks.

 

Baron,
That's the thing that surprised me. It looks half the size outside. I never could get a good perception of a car sitting in the shop anyway.

 

Maybe I overlooked this. What did the rear end come out of?

 

Nice to hear you are back to playing with the HJ, looks mean up in the air.

 

Looks real Mean! I actually like the rear low, but understand you have to have room for tire growth.

Thanks for the inspiration!

 

David,
The rear end is from a '85 Ford pickup.

 

How much did you have to cut it down?
Just trying to get some ideas for mine!

 

David,
I didn't cut it at all. It seemed to be ok as it was. A little cut would have been ok but didn't seem to be worth the trouble.

 

I had planned to use another short axle from another rear end and cut it that much but didn't seem worth it. A wheel with a 4 inch back space will work just fine.

 

Sounds good. I have a 9 inch out of a 79 Ford pickup that I can use & was wandering. The only thing I would change then would be the lug pattern.

 

David,
I think I will redrill my axles to the smaller pattern.

 

Might be what I do.

 

I see that it just sold. Good for you. When the time is right, there will always be time for the next project. Somebody got a good deal on a great start.

 

Well Guys, I was wondering where the car went and did it get finished?
If anyone knows you can pm me. Thanks. Andy
