pic request: '46-'48 Ford 2 door Sedans

I would like to see the '46-'48 Ford 2 door sedans that HAMBers either own or have owned. I was also like to know what experience you guys have as far as chassis swaps on this style car. Thanks

 

why do a chassis swap? there are a million products that are made for these cars. lots of bolt on upgrades. pic of my pops and uncles 46 & 48

 

Stock chassis with posies springs.

 

Stock chassis is no longer there otherwise it would be reworked.

 

There's quite a few threads on lowering the 46-48 fords without using a frame swap, thought it won't help you since yours is gone! one thread goes into it a little i think though.

and a thread i started looking for chopped sedan photos:

Do a search for "46/47/48 ford" and you'll find a lot of threads and some really killer looking 46/48 fords, unfortunately you'll have to look through the coupes to see the sedans!

Whereabout is Sherwood OH?

 

Jman..

I had one..

traded it to another hamber..

I would find a OEM frame before I tried to do a "swap"

mine had a late 70s sub, and it.. well.. sucked

it was too wide, and UGLY..

it did (however)let the car get REAL LOW..

the car was FLATBLACK with red wheels.. so I'll spare you the photo..

 

Buy my 47 coupe in the classified w/extra frame, and build a his and hers
pair!.....Just a thought....

 

I am on the other side of the state from you, 1/2 way between Toledo and Ft. Wayne.

I had that coupe for a while when I was in PA that I got from Grumpy. It had a Camaro stub on it and sat pretty nice. The Sedan actually has a mid '70's Monte Carlo frame but I do not care much for the idea of it. I would rather use a stock one or something newer. I liked how the coupe rode with the IFS so that would be a definite plus.

 

Nobody else has one???

 

Here is mine.

I can gladly give you specifics if you want. It does use the stock frame, however.

 

I would have thought there would be more of these around here.

 

Me too...would love to see some chopped ones as well.

 

koolkemp, you and me both. Bump my "chopped" thread back up maybe that fella who's dad chopped that nice white one has the pictures by now? I can't believe there's so few of these sedans out there in kustom land... maybe too big and bulky that nobody took them on?

this is mine as it sits currently...still being built.

 

Here is mine Mustang II up front and soon to be posies springs out back. No Bags.

 

Lol I just sent him a PM asking him if he had found the pics yet!! I also bumped the thread back up , so maybe we will get some new responces!

 

ha, awesome. I think you and i are after the same thing! Let's combine out powers for the greater good of all sedan owners! Maybe we can make up some cool rings like captain planet or something...maybe....


47 Ford-
That ain't no sedan! I like your grille though, that's what i've got lined up for mine.

What is the grille out of on that coupe?

Ace, what are you doing down in Nelsonville?

 

Here's a couple pics of my old bud Don Palfreyman's 47 taken at Bonneville '06
God Speed buddy!

Yea I know, just wanted to give some ideas

 

1950 Plymouth

 

Different and cool.

 

J Man, yeah those plymouth grilles are sharp. Got one from a HAmber about a month ago. not an *exact* fit in the 46-48, but close and do look killer. here's a friend of mine from Orlando's old '46 coupe with one. Will be starting that soon on mine

I'll be in Nelsonville for school. Going to Hocking college for Wildlife management. Plan on being a game warden here in OH. Plus, i love that part of Ohio so it will be a nice being down there.

I posted this '47 on the other '46-'48 Tudor thread but here it is again.

 

I went to school there for a year. Seems like a long time ago now. Not much to do down there, atleast for me there wasn't.

Here's mine

 

Tudor, what kind of chassis is yours on?

 

It's stock with a 74 nova clip. There are some more pics of it in my album. Fat man makes some narrowed GM arms that will get the wheels in if you go that route. My car handles and rides very nicely the way it is. I would like to have one with a stock frame and all the chassis engineering goodies etc. I've got rear parallel leaf suspension with a 10 bolt chev rear. =

here's how not to do it

My favorite 46.....and i don't like fords!

Josh's car kicks ass...

 

Ditto on that. I don't Fords either, or chevies for that matter. I only love Mopars, Datsuns and really small Italians bikes that my big ass should never be mounting.
