Hello guys. I have been told you could buy wider fenders for a 1946 ford. I have been looking everywhere but no luck. Anyone else heard of this? also is there a good place online to buy stuff for 1946 ford. thanks

Hmmm, I have a 46 Ford Tudor and have started accumulating some catalogs like Drake, etc, but I have never seen wider ones for that year. What are you trying to accomplish exactly?

Never seen em in my 40+ years of doin this.
If I ever did need wider I just split them and did it myself.

I did not think you could. this guy was telling me you could b.c the person who had the car before me put a chevelle sub frame on the front and its to wide. I know its going to have to be cut.

Yep, that is a problem with those front ends. The earlier Camaros I hear are narrower and tuck in better. I would do it right and modify the suspension to get the wheels in, rather than trying to widen the body to cover the tires. It would look much better.

easier to narrow the f/e than widen the fenders

yeah i agree also. I mean i dont like to even think about making them wider but my uncle was dead set on you could buy them. Is there a place to buy floor pans or do you have to have them made? Thanks for your help
