Hot Rods Got another project

So, my father in law lost interest in this car and decided to give it to my wife and I. So.... I'm not gonna say no!

So here is what we have. It's a 1942 Ford Business Coup. It has a Fat Man front end, Granada rear end, mild 351 Windsor and a bunch of other parts that I haven't even gotten to yet. He was going for a Street Rod approach, but we are leaning towards a 50's- early 60's style hot rod style. Anyway, here it is as it sits right now. View attachment 3281781

 

Going to use these 61 thunderbird seats

 

That is oretty rough. Wish it were given to me. I had a 41 back in the late 60's . Good luck with it. Will you be going back to a straight frontb axe;l ?

 

Congrats - what a great gift - like the tuck'n'tear interior

 

I'll keep the mustang 2 front end. It's already there. The fenders will hide it anyway.

 

...to me that's a nice lookin start, sure sits nice, good luck with it.

 

Lots of potential there.

 

The price was sure right!!

 

Wow! I'm gonna send a link to this thread to my wife's dad. He did give me her hand in marriage...so I figure he owes me. Just sayin.

Enjoy the build and make it yours!
