Thread: 40 ford gets a new mill!

Thanks oj for the support.

The other thing to be aware of, again if you aren't, is the cross brace that ties the two inner fender panels together just behind the rad. It's sort of stretched V shape. They're often discarded by lazy assemblers, or for clearance reasons with engine swaps, but really go a long way toward keeping the front components squared up.

thanks for the info guys, i will remember it when we go to put the front end back together. all help is greatly appreciated!
