46-48 Ford sedan tail dragger pics?

Anyone have any?

 

I dont care for sedans much at all, but Id say they would be much better suited for a mild hot rod than a taildragger. A taildragger should be a very fluid downward flow from front to back, and a 41-48 sedan will just never lend itself to create that flow.

 

Here is my 41

 

Thats not a sedan

 

Bttt

 

I have looked over the web for every custom 41-48 ford out there. I have not ever seen a sedan with the rear lower than the front. Photoshop one, you will see how silly it will look.... I have seen customized ones, but they are level, or ever so only slightly lower in the rear, but true taildragger stance? Never seen it done.

 

I would much rather a coupe but only seem to find sedans affordable.I really like yours by the way.

 

Here's my '46.... its kinda got the back end lower..

Mainly due to all the junk I have stored in it

I agree with Chad, not a good "taildragger"
basically stock with reversed spring eyes is what looks good to me...and the correct tires make a difference too with the body being so HUGE..
this has 6.00x16's on it now... thats the bare minimum in my opinion... 6.50's would look nice?

 

Oldies done back in the late 40's early 50's








I know... 1941










Level.. but very nice...

 

My wifes that we're working on now....

 

I would love to see more pics of this beauty! Was it a nice car to start with?

 

Hey Rikster would you be able to photoshop this pic (bottom one)??Please Mine is in a million pieces now so I cant take a pic of it . I still cant get the thought of chopping mine out of my head..3-4 inches,skirts,shaved taillight with small motorcycle type ones on the rear splash pan...pretty pleeeessseee!!!!!!

 

Zach, I love your tires. Im going to be running goodyear super cushions, what are those?

 

btt

No, she was a real turd to begin with. We have the original aftermarket Buick grill for it like the Fordor pic that Rikster put up. Skirts and visor are going on it also.

 

She looks mint compared to the rust bomb I am fixin!! Cant wait to see it assembled, I am gonna make some skirts for mine and If I can find an affordable visor one of those too!!

 

I got one....rear is down more than 3 more inches than what you see in these pics.

 

Sometime I just don't get it, a coupe has more flow lines.
Well an old bubble back looks good 2. Just because a
coupe made the Magazine's, Ole every day Joe Cool had what
he could afford.
100# sack of sand in the back, fender skirts, a set of pipes, Cadillac hub caps
up front, with port-a-walls, brush painted red wheels, a spinner on the steering wheel, a set of blue dots, and Moma's home made seat covers. Not no Mexican blanket. L man it might have took Ole Joe Cool 6 months to a year to do it all on his pay.

 

i totally missed out on this thread, here is my 48

 

Thanks guys!
