1940 Ford Tudor Build Thread

[Hotrod46]

Looking very good.

Those dang Ford X-members sure get in the way, don't they. The 46 is bigger, but still tight. My exhaust is under the chassis too. I didn't have the ability at the time to run it myself and couldn't find a shop that would run it the way I wanted. Been on there for 20 years, but I intend to change that when the Healey is done.

A lot of people just don't realize the amount of time it take to get all the little details done.

Absolutely right! It really doesn't take long to get one up on wheels, but turning it into a real driveable car seems to take forever.

Yes, they sure do get in the way. Now, I wish I would have used smaller tubing. But, I'm not redoing it now. I'm going to try my damndness to get this thing to Des Moines Good guys this year. I don't care if it just parking lot drives. It will at least run and move.
