    Engine with new clutch plate , US waterpumps , and 12v.
    Painted some green color , not original ford but vintage enough for me.
    Engine wil be in the car soon.

    Dutch: How did you go about straightening your wheels?

    They where really shaky side to side so i bring them to a specialized shop who do wheels , frames ,forks etc.
    I had to ask a few shops before i found one who could actually straighten them , most shops do only dents in modern alu wheels.
    I must say they got them real straight.

    Sweet! I'd keep the fenders.
     
  6. Very nice my friend. I like the look with and without the fenders so the decision could be hard.
    I love the French flatty and it's a nice improvement.

    I always preferred the look of these European Tudors over their North American counterparts. The suicide doors give them a cl***ier look.

    I never saw a chrome 32 shell before I went to TROG last year. There was a car there with one. It looked very cool and unique I thought

    Not so much choice for tires for the 18" rims so changed the front to 16" with 500/525
    Also installed a 5" dropped 32 heavy axle , took junk perches to make the brake brackets longer and keep a stock look.
    The rear have to come down so i will remove a few leaves and think i go 16" in the rear as wel.
    Can somebody tell me wich and how much leaves i have to remove to lower it but without the axle hitting the frame ? i have a stock 32 crossmember and stock spring with reversed eyes.
