Im new to this forum. I started a rebuilding project about 5 years ago. A 1941 Ford Tudor. It had been in storage for about 35 years. It came out of Minnesota. Surprisingly very little rust and the body was solid as were all the floor pans and trunk. I first tried to just fix what was needed and got it running. I realized that just about everything needed to replaced or repaired. After getting sick of getting dirty underneath the car I made the big step to remove the body from the frame. The rest is history. The car is back home from the paint shop, maroon body with black fenders and the only thing left to do is the interior This is what I have finished so far 1941 Ford Tudor Deluxe original 221ci 85HP · Rebuilt original engine to 1949-1953 8BA specs; 239ci and 100HP · Edelbrock heads · Edelbrock super dual carburetor intake manifold · Iskederian ¾ cam · Headers · Borg Warner 5 speed transmission · 1969 Ford mustang 8 rear rebuilt with 3.55 gears, suspension and rebuilt rear brakes · Custom made drive shaft · Heidts front suspension and disc brakes · Body removed from frame and refinished · All nuts, bolts, rubber and electrical wiring replaced · All gl*** replaced
