1940 Ford Tudor Build Thread

[Scooting]

I think the fat rear fenders look good. Why are you considering putting the steel ones back on? I like fat and lots of rear tire. Remember you are not running some 4 cyl in that rod. Hemi has mean written all over it and the car needs to look it.

At some angles when you look at the wide fenders, the wheel openings seem larger than stock so it makes the rear wheel and tire look small IMO. But the biggest gripe I'd have to say is the way the fender bulges out instead of just coming out and down like a stock fender does. I like the tire to be just inside the wheel opening if I can. I definitely don't hate the way it looks so I'm going to run them and later on I might widen the stock fenders and see which looks better.

Hopefully this week I can get it outside and take a pic of it with a running board on. I didn't measure the frame to ground yet. It' low enough now that my braces I put under the frame before I cut the old X member out way back when, now is touching the ground. I did get some pretty heavy duty bump stops for this too. They're supposed to be progressive but we'll see. They are pretty darn stiff and you can't really smash them by hand power.

Interesting, Tell me more about the bump stops, perhaps a picture.

I really wanted to get daystar progressive ones. But the cost and space constraints made me go with the simpler ones.
