1940 Ford Tudor Build Thread

[40FordDeluxe]

This morning I dug out the 8.8 that I got weeks ago. I drug the plasma cutter out and cut off the 4 unusable mounting brackets from the explorer. I also removed the counterweight/shock mount on the pinion, and chopped off the frozen park brake cables. I also cleaned the axle tubes up where the new brackets will be going. I will have to do more once I establish where the upper mounts are going to be going. It doesn't look like much got done, but there were 8 welds to cut and grind without getting into the tubes. I left the sway bar mounts on there because I am going to try to re use the sway bar that came with it.

Oh yeah, I also saw this setting out in front of a Pizza Ranch over the weekend. I didn't walk over and check it out but it looked pretty cool to me.
