Re: 1940 Ford Deluxe 2 Door Sedan Rebuild

I was getting close to the point of putting the engine and trans back in to get it set in a new home. But before I could do that, I wanted to add some beautification to the firewall. A friend from another forum made me some old script Ford panels. I fit one in the top center of the fire wall and welded it in place.

Then I started working on how to get a shock on this thing. I made a new lower mount and welded it on my lower control arm. I too the easy way out and purchased the upper shock mounts. I finally got things situated where the shock would fit while not getting ate by the tire aired down and also at full up travel. The shock will serve as the bump stop also.

Next was engine fitment so I could hook up the steering column again.
