Since I'm not going back with a rumble seat I started fabbing up a trunk divider to sturdy up the body. Also cut out the sub rail where it was broked and broke up some replacement sections.

so you are going with a tall build ?

Haven't decided yet, I'm working on a deal for a complete drivetrain out of a '40 Ford that was recently restored and everything is rebuilt with less than a 1,000 miles on it. So it's either go old, old school with the flatty and tall or a old school 283 and a 4" trim.

I looked up a old Ford guy close to me who had recently tore apart a '40 Ford pickup to Street Rod. The truck was completely restored a few years ago so the engine, transmission, front and rear axle where rebuilt. Will change out the front axle with a 4" dropped axle and go with a Posies spring.
I'm also getting everything he pulled off the truck including a nice little heater, a repro wiring harness, all mounts, cross members, bolts and brackets. So in one deal I got most of what I needed.

The deal on the parts fell through so I'm going with a mid '60s build with a 283 PowerPack that is original from carb to pan and a 9" rear. The last few weeks I've been working on the body fixing stress cracks and installing patch panels, rebuilding the brakes and spindles from the '46 chassis. This weekend I started on the frame as I was a little burnt out on body work.
Split the wishbone from the '46
Mocking everything up, will probably mount the radius arm mounts on the inside of the frame.

But of a pita on the parts, but sounds like the back up plan is comign along quickly. Can't wait to see the final product for this, you always have some cool suprises along the way.
