Thanks Dave, coming from you and your ride, that's a hell of a compliment, Preciatecha!! And thanks to hotrodyankee and the others who commented!

 

Hey GonzoMN, do you know if the 48 is still in Mn.? I had a real interest in it but had to finish my 46, by the time it was done you and the Convert had parted ways!

 

I sold it to a guy in Northern Wisconsin. I heard he had it up for sale since he bought it.

 

Would you be so kind as to PM me, or text me your number and I'll call you! 254-423-1583 I have some questions about the 48, Thanks!

I'd say for long doors it's not so much the color(although) red doesn't help that makes the ass big, but long doors NEED to be chopped. The cars already disproportionate due to the rear roof line jutting skyward!

In order to bring this thread to the top I've dug out this pic from a few years back. I don't know anything about it or the owner as I discovered it being "finessed" at Ramsay's Rod Shop.

Mine is starting to slowly look like a car again...

While searching for wheel and tire combos...I ran across this somewhere in Europe.

I like your tastes lbcd! Very clean car! Looks like it has that California rake to it too. ..And some serious offset on the rear wheels. Nifty car!

that's the perfect height for what I want my car to look like.

 

my chopt 48 with 47 olds grille

 

Thanks Dave! I believe the car was in England and sat much lower in the front possibly due to it's tire sizes. I dug a bit deeper and I'm pretty sure it ended up in Sweden...it was tweeked a bit with new tires and what a difference! It sits just about perfect...louvers on the hood and those rectangular mirrors are cool!

I posted my '48 before, but now it's for sale in the classifieds.

 

Got it outside for a few pics.

Still a lot left to do, hope to have it on the road this summer.

Small block Chevy adapted to original 3 on the tree.

 

My 47 sedan.

 

I'm still trying to figure what that stupid noise is in the rear area, sounds like a bearing and I've discovered the steering gets a little wonky at speed. Time to fix that...

The 283 sounds good though: https://www.instagram.com/p/BS4wZYagx84/

 

Tickety Boo......what kind of heater is that?

 

are those stock seats?

 

The heater was an option in 48 called fresh air heater, when I got the car ( about 10 years ago ) it had no squirrel
cage ( a square hole in firewall ) Went to car shows about 5 years looking for what I thought would be a 90 degree elbow to mate up with the scoop ducting under the hood . ( the scoop in hood grabs air in front of radiator )

Responded to an add in Minnesota Street Rod mag. where a guy had three 48 fords for sale to make one with extra parts. Turns out he had a 90 degree squirrel cage.
( note: found that a 12 volt motor and fan from a 69 Javelin fit in this cage

The front seat is a rear seat from about a 1985 Dodge/ Plymouth mini van
( kept the quick release ) system to remove for removing battery ( now in floor ) and servicing master cylinder.

Recovered the Van seat with same pleated material as rear was when I got the car.
( rear looks to be recovered stock seat. )
