Hi,
My name is Debbie and I just found this site. Haven't had a chance to look around much but from what I've seen so far it looks like I'm going to learn alot here! I bought a 47 Ford Coupe a couple years ago and have been trying to put it back together. I'm starting to feel like maybe I bought somebody else's mistake. I have experience working on cars but not this old or to this extent. The car was (is) literally in pieces when I bought it.
The front part of the frame is GM, has a small block chevy with a turbo 350. I had the rest of the original frame boxed and a new tube crossmember for the trans. Right now I'm trying to get the body on right. It wasn't on when I bought the car. For the most part the body is pretty solid but the floor has a lot of rust and pieces cut out (by the previous owner). There's new rocker boxes welded in but it looks to me like they're in wrong. That's the frustrating part....because I'm not sure! I've been trying to research this but can't find any photos or diagrams showing the correct install.
Anyway, I'm glad I found this site and I hope you will be patient with me when I ask "stupid" questions .
