If I wasn't looking for a car with a back seat when I first saw that car, you would be looking at a picture of it parked next to my house. Congrats car looks great. Sent from my iPhone using TJJ app
all the above and get the right headlites back and the grill piece fixed i have a 38 sedan and should be so lucky as you are
Lose the bumper guards and cow catcher in the front and lower it, some teardrop skirts and a pair of 112 Appletons and your money!!!!
man that is one sweet ride.do what you will brother but to me that thing is great just the way she is.hell if it were mine (which it will never be but maybe in my dreams lol) id kick UP the rear a couple of inches.but as it sits right now its just GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lower the front=streetrod Lower the rear=custom Lower the rear. Lots of threads on traditional customs of that era. Gorgeous cars that don't need much. Yours looks sweet.
of course you are!! cause that's what we do, you know and i know you aren't going to leave that car like that!! great car, best of luck with it.
A good stock V8 can be a NICE ride as is, as you have discovered! If you ever wear it out, just rebuild as a 255 and have a low key stealth rod. '38-'39-'40 Fords have probably the most thoroughly detailed styling jobs ever done...every little part wherever you look is like jewelry.
Really sweet ride - as others have said, a little lowering, some simple trad style engine dressing like dual carbs and such and you are golden!
