Hello, I am new kind of.... have lurked here and researched for years. I just recently purchased a 1946 Ford Coupe that my dad owned and started building in the 80's. It has a nova subframe and rear end in it and is really close to being a driver. I am not sure about the rules here as far as traditional cars and street rods, as this is a street rod. I am fond of traditional cars and street rods both and this car is special to me for the memories I have of it, my dad had all kinds of cars but this one I remember helping him work on! He is very excited as well about having it back. He built the car following a magazine article in Street Rodder or one of the Rod magazines from the mid 1980's. Does anybody remember this article? It detailed using Nova parts and suspension, I have looked through all the old magazines I can find but haven't found it yet. I am just interested in reading about how they did it, dad doesn't quite remember. The car sits very low (think Fat Jacks) the previous owner thought to low and installed aluminum bushings on the body mounts and raised it up which is how it sits now. Any help on finding the article or which mag it was in would be greatly appreciated! Also does any body have experience using the narrowed Fatman nova control arms that suck the front tires in 1.5"? My plans for the car are to get it driving so mom and dad can hit some rod runs, and do a little foot brake racing with it once in a while at the drags.
