I do not either. I am in the local V8 club here, and love all early Fords...although my heart is in early hot rods. But I know a lot of guys on here are strict restorers and I can appricate that. The last thing I want to do is get kicked off of here or not be welcome. Even being rodded a little, my cars are still all early Ford

Yes, that would have been a good idea had I thought about it. Plus I was doing it myself which was a struggle. The rear fenders are pretty easy. The fronts, hard to tuck them into place by yourself without something rubbing

Now THATS the way a roadster should look! Great car.

Heard · 05-29-2014, 12:32 PM

That is a beautiful car! Love the stance.

36 ford · 05-29-2014, 01:09 PM

Love it! Really needs red wheels all around with the grey primer which looks outstanding.

Wow, that is a beautiful car. Good luck with it and try to keep it stock.

Here you go. I just had the dash nickled (it was very old, poor chrome when I got the car) and I bought an NOS speedometer. The upholstery is old and not a good color...I will re-do it down the road. Engine is a 59AB with a Merc crank. Trans is a 39 and rear is the stock 34 that has 35-36 3.54 gears I machined for it. It has juice brakes.

It looks like you have a 46 steering wheel too. Nice interior.

Steves46 · 05-29-2014, 06:58 PM

Absolutley superb! That gauge set-up with the tach is super cool! Thanks for posting.

Blownflatheaddeuce · 05-30-2014, 07:27 AM

Nice...love your rides Chris...IMO, leave it and drive the wheels off it !!

Less stressful that way.

Ken Bull · 05-30-2014, 01:20 PM

Yours looks Great!

Chris · 05-30-2014, 04:55 PM

Chris...What is that front bumper? A little hard to see detail in the light, but I think I really like it. The car is off the charts!! It just could not sit any better...tires and caps are perfect. DD
