I've been lurking & enjoy what I read so .......... I thought I'd jump in the water.

I'm building a non conventional vehicle to this forum (I see lots on camaros, vettes, stangs, cuda/challanger stuff) but my vehicle is a bit different:

1946 Ford long door coupe

It's not that I've not had the camaro, vette & stang vehicle I just wanted something a bit more unique (for me).

I'm in the process right now of installing a Chassis Works (ALSTON) 4 link, coil over, FAB9 rear, tube A-arm, coil over front with R & P steering. Front & rear BIG Wilwoods. I've already unloaded all the suspension parts plus the flathead, 3 speed & torque tube drive line. The skinnie steelies & bias plys have also been ditched.

A simple Trick-flo headed SBC with a carb feed 68mm intercooled turbo is replacing the original 239. Trans is muncie 4 speed now but $$ & a deal will bring home a 5 or 6 speed trans. Wheel choice has been made to American SaltFlat Specials in 16" hoops.

Interior will be sparce with a bomber theme through out. Lots of aluminum & rivets.

Ride height will be in the 4-5" daily driver position with the ability to run a little closer to earth.

I know this is not your "normal" g-machine as it cuts the wind like a brick .... but its my brick!!

I'll post some progress pix if anyone has any interest.
