    Has anyone ever tucked in the bumpers on a '41-'48 Ford to eliminate the splash pans?

    What does a bum get when he sleeps in the weeds?

  7. We all make spelling errors, give the guy a break.

    I've seen the rear bumper tucked on a fat fendered car but all he did was shorten the bumper arms and re-drill the holes where they mount to the frame, and as I recall he said they were 3 inches closer to the body but he didn't use the splash shield. HRP

    Jeez, I thought I'd get a lot of responses to this post but all I got were corrections on my typing skills! Except for Hotrodprimer..
     
  13. Just goes to show what the priorities are around here.
     
  14. I cut the brackets on my '34 just to get the bumper closer to the body. Don't see why it wouldn't work on a '41-'48.
     
  15. It’s just the lock down, everybody is going freakin nuts.
    Wish I could help.

    Let me help.
    What does the rest of the '41-'48 Ford look like ? If nearly stock, it would be less than pleasing. With most of the normal custom operations performed, it may please you … most of those cars had the bumpers replaced with something else anyway ...
