Thread: Some progress on a Ye' Olde '31 Ford

Tweet

I guess im past my paint window so its not getting painted until spring. Hasnt been warmer than about 40 the past few weeks so im done. So friday night i decided to put the car together. Had some stainless bolts so i put the rear fenders on and stuff, threw the body on the frame. Thought the weight of the body would bring the back of the frame down but i was wrong. Its got a wicked rake that looks good but i think im going to make the new main leaf for the rear to bring the back down. So now i just need to order a crap load of bolts nuts and washers to put the rest of it together. Ran fuel lines but i still need clamps towards the front. But i think its looking good eventhough i still have a lot left before i can drive it.



Couldnt roll it out since it was raining/snowing/slushing out so the pics are really crappy.


Look at that fine ass

Looks great, I notice that you have the same size wheel and tire setup in the front that I have on my 31 5W. Are you going to use a wide front wheel?
I ended up swapping from a 26" dropped front axle to a 27 3/4" dropped front axle.
It did get the wheels out further in the fenders.
