Humble Beginnings

[Mack]

So as I said in my intro, I'm posting pictures of my '46 Ford. I pulled the cab off this morning and did a quickie mock-up to get an idea of what's gonna happen. I haven't decided if I want to use the stock hood or not but that doesn't really matter right now.

looks good. whats your plans for it? (frame, chop, fenders)

 

[Mack]

It's definately not gonna have fenders and I'll be building a 2X3 box tube frame for it shortly. Not sure about the chop yet. I'm not set on the motor yet but I'm thinking of running the old faithful SBC on E-85. I'm trying to find out now if I can even register this thing when it gets done. There's no title. If not I guess it's race only.

I like your start and your ideas. You might want to consider 2" by 4" rectangular tubing. There's a thread on RRR about frame flex one of the guys has encountered. Some of the Tennessee members here that might be able to advise you about getting titled. There's always a way.

Great start! Those M/T's look sweet. I cant wait to see more.

Hey Mack,

Thanks for posting pics of your 46. It's always good to see more Tennessee members here. I'm looking forward to watching your progress too. Getting your 46 Ford titled should be easy enough to do as long as the cab has it's VIN # intact somewhere on the cab. Just follow the link below to Broadway Title Co. and follow their instructions exactly. Be sure to read it all carefully. Several of us on here have used them with great results. $149.00 and 2 to 3 weeks later you get your paperwork so you can get it registered.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.
