Thread: 1946 Ford Bodies

Tweet

Here is the only fordor body I could find customized. Not chopped, and it is a '41 Merc, but similar.

Only car I really regret getting rid of was my '47 fordor. 50,000 mile car, rader wheels, molded fenders, diamond pleat interior. Needed money to move, so the car went away.

There is one small thing you should be aware of if your going to swap frames. If you have a business coupe the doors are the same as four door cars. The sedan coupe(club coupe) has the same doors as two door cars.

The intermediate frame mounts(the ones that sit under the door jambs) are in different locations due to to length of the doors. No problem though, as these mounts bolt on. You do need to swap sides with the mounts.

Is swapping frames on the mid 40's Fords something that can easily be done? And im sure that would save me the trouble of front clipping it, and also having to cut up the rear of the stock frame. So as far as getting IFS and a diff rear under there, would swapping the frame be just as much of a task but a better idea in the long run? If so, what frame would i use for the swap?
