Hi all..Just ran across this site. Saw lots of cool cars and good info here. I also recognized a few of the members names from other forums I'm on as well...My current project is a 1951 Ford F-1.....running a 390 FE, 9" rear, soon to be a Jag front end with air ride, shaved doors and drip rails, custom 4 bar rear suspension ....

Welcome to RRR, dyce. Now some pictorial evidence of said 51 F1 is required !

 

[dyce51]

well I havent downloaded any pics of it yet to the computer...but here is an example of what I want to build it into (a buddy of mine built the model)....I know its not a full blown rat rod...but I like it....

That's leaving the bed and front end at the factory height and chanelling the cab by about 4" and reworking the hood to fit properly, chopping it by 4" and pulling the winshield frame back alil to get the "roadster" look to it....also toying with idea of doing a carson top on it as well..but not too sure about that yet
