Wow Chris, very nice ride. That car will look great next to the Roadster.

Ritzy1 · 06-27-2016, 07:30 PM

Love the look. Great job!

1927Tudor · 06-28-2016, 08:50 AM

Beautiful work!

Chris · 06-28-2016, 11:09 AM

Painted my wheels and polished the trim rings and caps last night. I know these are 42 caps, I got them at a swap meet, they were very nice so I picked them up

Thanks! Yes I am excited, I've never owned an old Ford with this nice of paint!

Ken Arms · 06-29-2016, 01:11 PM

I like it without the bumpers!

Chris · 07-01-2016, 12:09 PM

Got a small batch of chrome back yesterday, so now I can mount my license plate. With the trunk lid shaved I thought it would be clever to use the front license plate gaurds/mount on the rear. Took a little modifying but worked well. Had the ash tray lids done was well and also got the radio in

Chris · 07-01-2016, 12:10 PM

And after the fender being painted a week I wet sanded it and buffed it. Turned out really nice...especially beings I don't know what I'm doing. Whole car needs cleaned again now

scooder · 07-01-2016, 12:35 PM

Love it Chris, absolutely love it.
Its a world away from the 14" flat black, debumpered nonsense. I wouldn't be able to resist 16" red steels personally, other than that it looks pretty much like my always wanted 46-48 sedan coupe. Dang I really want one.

Yes I'm jealous.

Busted out my hole saw and put the factory 46 park lights in last night. Sawing into the fenders was a little scary

Tim Ayers · 07-06-2016, 12:54 PM

Love it. Awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Ford46 · 07-06-2016, 03:31 PM

I always liked the 42 and 46 for the parking lights and the chrome trim Ford used. That Coupe is looking very nice, hope you really enjoy it. LouB.

edhd58 · 07-06-2016, 07:21 PM

Very Very Nice

tony starr · 10-20-2016, 02:10 AM

Hi Chris, I might of missed it in the detail - but do you mind telling me what size whitewall s you are running, front and rear? Thanks.

flathead48 · 10-20-2016, 04:52 AM

Nice ride, good luck with it

big job · 10-20-2016, 05:03 AM

Very nice ! You are light years from me. Mine has original paint meaning lightning
stars & deep scratches. Looks like I need 5 gal of aircraft stripper. So its, one
piece at a time.. As now its a 50 foot car. good job sam

Sal · 10-20-2016, 05:59 AM

The car looks great now, enjoy it!

corvette8n · 10-20-2016, 09:32 AM
