I drove it for the first time yesterday and I'm very pleased. The new 276 FH runs great. The Sid's axle along with the Posie spring gave me the look I wanted. If I could only get the hood to fit right. Oh well, it will give me something to do in my spare time. Before: After:
The stance is perfect GK. Hope to see it around sometime. Now lets talk wheel color. I love that color on a lighter color bodied ford but I would suggest black wheels on that beauty. Great car!!
Oh well, I knew I would get these comments. In my 70 years I found out early "you can't please everyone" the cool part for me is I like it the way it is, but thanks for the kind words.
39 looks great, everyone has a different opinion on wheels and color and that is hotrodding. My hood is not right either, I plan to try a little harder come fall. I had to slot the passenger side holes to get it right and hope doing the same to the left side will help it fit a little tighter. Good luck, with it.
Correct but this ones really bad. It sticks up about 3/4" in the pass. rear corner and I can't even push it down. I think the aftermarket hinges are binding. You can see it in this picture. As you can see I have other problems anyway. This morning taking the wife to breakfast. No spark.
I like the stance, the wheel color, everything just the way you have it! Looks perfect! I have read on the Early Ford V-8 website that to get the hood to pull down at the back, raise the hinges on the body. If I can find a link to the thread, I will post it later.
