Thread: Saving a '40 Ford Coupe

Tweet

Of course he wanted to put one of the biggest ford motors in he could find... someone had tried to do it before and hacked up the fire wall and just left it unfinished... hate trying to fix other peoples screw ups...

with the front Mll installed and the motor and trans in place it was time to move to the rear end.. you can see it was not centered in the wheel opening... plus we went with a 4 bag with coil overs.

Took the old leaf springs out and installed a 4 bar with coil overs and a sway bar... now it sits right and all wheels are where they're suppose to be... This was an easy one as this is as far as we took it, gave it back to the owner and he's been working on it for the past two years or so... it's all put together at this point and he's just completing the wiring... hope to be driving it early next year..

No really i do hate it but it does hone you skills to another level...but sometimes you have to hide the rope and sharp things to keep from hurting yourself...
