Projects Dad's 31 Ford Coupe

very cool, looks like you are doing a great job so far.

 

What did your Dad have in it for a engine and trans?

Are you going to put fenders and running boards on it just like Pops had it?

 

Dad bought the car with a 327 sbc, and a 4 speed. He later built a 383 sbc with a 2 speed powerglide and was racing the car .
I'm building a 327 out of a 67 impala. I would like to put a muncie 4 speed in it, but the 350 turbo sure seems easy. No fenders for now, but I always liked the car with fenders on it.

 

hot rods have three pedals, just saying!

 

Great memories and new ones being made!!

 

Cool!

 

Off the old frame , and onto the new! I'm still lookin for a deal on some wheels!
I like the looks better with 5" Z in rear.

 

Yikes! get those new wheels and quick!

I found a good buy on some steel wheels. Lots of different wheels, but these caught my eye. They are 5 x 4.5 bolt hole. Can anyone tell me what make they are???

 

Mopar

 

Thanks blackout, I'm trying to find info on these wheels ,but not having much luck. When I look up Mopar steel wheels, I dont see these. The ones I see have spaces in the wheels, mine don't. Do you know what time frame these are from, and if I can buy moon caps for them? Thanks again.

 

Mocking up on new frame. Thinking about moving motor forward and using an electric fan.

 

1940? Maybe
