Hello from Maine

[FordFanatic]

Good morning. This site was recommended to me by Don of Don's Hot Rods. Don speaks very highly of the folks here. I hope I can learn from you guys and possibly share some of my knowledge.

I live in Maine and spend much of my free time working on my projects. I have a 48 Ford coupe that I drive the wheels off of and I'm in the process of building what I guess you would call a 47 Ford "Bobber" pickup.

Welcome to RRR!

Don? You mean DonsRods, a.k.a. California Don the famous hot rod builder? He's a Ebay legend!

I'll post some pictures as soon as I figure out how. I took the Bobber apart just last weekend and now have parts and pieces scattered, but I'll see if I have a picture. My 48 coupe is more of a street rod....SBC , 700R4 , power MII , etc, but I'll post a picture as soon a s possible.

And thanks again for the welcome messages.

Welcome

You came to the right place Thank's Don You will really like it here nobody will knock your build or yourself I found out the hard way on { H A M B } I enjoy it here [P and you will toooooo

 

[FordFanatic]

I hear ya T Driver. From what I've seen I'm going to like this site. I do have to learn how to post pictures though ( that probably sounds stupid ..I just haven't had the time yet to figure it out ). The Bobber is actually a father-son project but my son hasn't shown any real interest. So I stopped the build and put everything in storage until I could decide what to do with it. This site is getting the juices flowing again so I might have to drag things back out and get going on it again. Just wish I could get my son interested.

Pictures

Well, I think I have it. Attached is a picture of my 48 Coupe and a picture of the 47 bobber when I was mocking it up. I've taken the bobber apart and don't have any recent pictures. I ended up with a 41 Ford front axle set up for hairpins. I have an 8-ich Ford rear end under and when I stopped working on it I was struggling with what rear suspension to use.

You wanted pictures.....

here are a few.
