Features 41-48 Ford and Merc Picture Thread!

Discussion in 'Traditional Customs' started by nitrobrother, May 1, 2013.

  1. These cars have really started to appeal to me in the last few years, A fellow club member has a 46 sedan that is still pretty much original and it certainly is a great driver. HRP

  14. I don't remember now who I got it from, it's been a number of year's but that's what they called it in their catalog, a "3 piece California Dash". Might have been something that the vendor added.

    Grumpy, you never know Bitchin may have changed it after I bought mine. On mine I built a lower panel that goes low enough to cover the steering column as I didn't like the look of the column just hanging there plus it gave me room for the radio and other things.

  16. I bought a lower panel from Bitchin for ignition switch, headlight & wiper switches, a/c vents & controls.

    As you can see the one I made is deeper. I thought about the one from Bitchin but it wasn't as deep I really wanted

    Can't believe I missed this thread till now. So full of great pics and information, it took me a while to get all the way through it. Here's my 47 long door coupe, I've owned it for about 8 months I guess. Still need to do a few things to finish it up, but my time & money have been taken up by the 30 pickup, so I'm just enjoying the hell out of this the way it is. Need to drop the front 2 - 3". It needs some door glass weather stripping, especially for the wind wings. Anyone got any tips for that?

    Since the wife stayed home and I was on my own I decided to take the pickup. It would've been nice to have actual functioning windows and a heater though, maybe the coupe would've been the wiser choice! :D
