I finally got my '41 into my working garage. I'm so sorry, I was distracted with a couple of Chebby projects, and the poor '41 had to weather the winter outside under it's car cover, with the bed FULL of new pieces parts still in unopened boxes !

I finally moved her inside and started busting the sheetmetal etc off, removed the front spring and radiator getting ready to pull the Flattie and overhaul it as I redo the whole chassis front to back. New Ford 8" rearend, drop axle up front, C-4 Auto tranny, new gas tank....yada yada yada. It's only taken me 4 years to get re-started on this, hopefully I'll finish it in less than four.

Good to be back a re motivated !

 

Welcome back.

Sorry to say that we're still not anywhere near getting back to our '41. Between moving, changing jobs and many other distractions, our truck is on hold for a while longer.

 

Thanks for the welcome back Carlene, trust me, you'll get back to it soon. I just got side tracked with other projects, and had reached an indecision point on what power plant to proceed with on the truck. I bought a 302 engine with a C-4 attached just to get the C-4, and then couldn't decide whether to toss the Flathead or rebuild it. Now I'm going to keep and redo the Flathead, back it with the C-4. I started this weekend getting the new Chassis Engineering front suspension parts ready. I plan the suspend a Granada 8" rearend with a Posie's parallel leaf setup in the rear. etc et etc.

Hang in there, it'll get re started.

 

Congrats on getting restarted.
The 40-41's are my fave body style of all Ford trucks, maybe all vehicles period. I sold mine in a weak moment and will never be able to afford to replace it, but really admire those who have these beautiful trucks.

Please dont stick a SBC in it! Every time i see that it's like finding a beautiful set of perfect breasts, on a man.
