    '30 Ford Tudor sedan

     



    Built this over the spring. Jan-may, need to make a grill yet. 350 with a dual quad set up, custom frame, air bags to drop the rear, 49 chevy pick up axle on the front, S-10 steering box, Chopped 4 inches, custom made front windshield frame, 55 chevy radiator. Built everything ourselves, was a lot of fun. I'll try to get more pics. Oh, the roof is out of a 2002 chevy full size van.IMG_0622.jpgIMG_0784.jpgIMG_0787.jpgIMG_0788.jpgIMG_0842.jpg

    Channeled 3 inches (height of frame), chopped 4 inches. Channel is easy on this, because of how the original floor was built. To channel we actually only had to cut 2 pieces out from the firewall back, 3 tall by 8 inches long, where the firewall tapers narrower than the frame. Interior floor is flat besides the kick up for the rear. Also had to slot the body for the rear axle.

    I really like sedans down low like yours. Bet it's a fun ride, and making all the stuff yourself is the best part.

    I have always thought that I preferred the shiny look. But I am starting to get used to seeing and even liking the 'patina' look of some of these rats.
