2 Hot Rod's: 1946 Ford Custom and a 1936 Dodge Custom

[mrfarmerjimbob]

The windsor block engines are narrower than the SBC but a little longer--easier to fit in place of a six or four, but more difficult if length is an issue.

@mrfarmerjimbob i understand, but i bet i can fit a Windsor block where ever a SBC can fit, as I've seen many setups with the SBC and there is still plenty of room, and I've seen Windsor blocks in everything a SBC's been in that wasn't GM, my problem is i know a Windsor block can fit into any classic Ford vehicle, thus there is no excuse to use a SBC,

Sweet! I like the pretty orange one!! :)

[BRENTHENRY1989]

yeah that color is really sharp on that car, has a real bronze copper tone too it! all its missing is a NO STEP sticker like on planes, lol lol otherwise that running board will get ruined,

[rebelstang]

Cool!

[BRENTHENRY1989]

thanks for the comment, and they are cool! :)

I like how the hood opens on the orange car!

[BRENTHENRY1989]

thanks for the comment, and all comments appear in my e-mail box, i was like what the ??? with your first comment, but i see it was just a error! :) no problemo, i deleted the comment, anyways, yeah that is a neat way to open the hood!, reminds me of the '49 Buick they went with that style of hood opening, not sure how long Buick did that for, but i think you could open it from either side, which would get to be a pain, if you have to work on both sides of the engine, ah well style over function

Awesome custom's. I really don't care for the color of either of them, but they are some really nice, true American classics!!

[BRENTHENRY1989]

i am not too big on custom or exotic colors either, but i do like colors that pop, and both these colors pop, the color i hate the most would be pink, so as long as its not pink, then i am good, also i don't like purple much either, i think plum crazy purple is just that, crazy, also its nice to see these cars in some unique colors, and it may not fly with every one, but i am sure the colors are exactly what the owners wanted, and i have seen worse, much worse, think ricer tuner! lol lol :)

Very nice customs.

[BRENTHENRY1989]

thanks, i agree they are nice customs,

Nice, Brent...would be interested to know what power plant is in that Ford! Both seem to have great paint jobs. Trouble with the runningboard on the Dodge is, like all of similar beautiful paint, not to be stepped on! :) Jack

[BRENTHENRY1989]

maybe i don't want too know,,,,,,,, :) lol lol but if i recall the license plate did read something about Ford Flathead v8 power and the year of the car, that i can't seem to read in the video! ugh, i should have payed more attention to the plate for the year, ah well, those id cards on the windows should be mandatory, they really come in handy, so it would appear all is good under the Ford hood! :) but i can't say for the Dodge, it looks like a SBC maybe a 350?, so thanks for the comment Jack,

[raconter1]

Hey, Brent...if it said flathead, then there's a good chance the original flatehead's there! Hopefully!

:) Jack

[BRENTHENRY1989]

yeah i was thinking i would have found a HEMI under the Dodge's hood, i know that would be a big shoe horn, but i am sure it can be done, i think its Bowtie powered, but i still think a nice 318 or 360 would be a nice powerplant, and at least Mopar related, same with the blue Ford, a 302w is just as easy as getting a 350 in a car, who ever says that excuse is just a fool, small blocks of any make are generally a easy fit, now wide big blocks is a different story, some cars are just to narrow,

[BRENTHENRY1989]

also the reason i say a 302w or 351w or 351c any small block Ford or even a Ford medium block V8 like a 360/390 are easy to install, is there not far off from a small block Chevy, i would really like to compare the engine dimensions, i always hear people saying the Chevy small block is a easier install? i just look in disbelief, as we have pulled my 302w in and out more than twice during restoration, and i would put money down i could get it into any car a small block chevy can get into,

[BRENTHENRY1989]

sorry to rant Jack, just taking advantage of a teachable moment,and from what i have found small block ford parts are just as cheap as small block chevy parts,and in fact i can find lots of parts thanks in part to the Mustang demand, generally used parts from a Mustang owner are cheap to pick up as they upgrade there car, also even new, the parts are reasonable prices, there is no excuse any more for bowtie power under a blue oval hood, i think i will put a video together to address this topic,,

[BRENTHENRY1989]

agreed, the running boards would be a problem, would hate to step on that nice paint, the owners might have to hop in! :)

[raconter1]

Yeah, I've seen signs on runningboards saying to keep off...I'm sure it's a problem! :) Jack

[BRENTHENRY1989]

yeah all they need Jack is a little sticker like on air craft, NO STEP, lol lol :) and i am sure the owner would hate to install some factory styled rubber mat, that they installed on the original cars, it would take from the look! maybe a really thick coat of clear coat would do the trick? just buff it up when it becomes scratched or that new invisible bug shield i have seen on the internet, its like a invisible removable car bra, basically a sticker, either way i would end up hoping in! :) lol

[BRENTHENRY1989]

not sure on the year, as these post war Ford's had very similar styling, not in till the '49 Ford would they move away from the pre war base car, so i figure its a '46, it kinda goes with a '36 :) i would sure like to be in that blue Ford, and go racing! :) and the paint is sharp on both, both well done Hot Rod's hope everyone enjoys this video! :)

i like how they did the taillights on both of them

[BRENTHENRY1989]

yeah, they call that frenched taillights, you can also find some car owners will french the headlights in as well, i can see frenching the headlights, because you will sink the beam back, thus no real issue but i am sure having the taillights sunk in really makes them hard to see at angles, ah well, there Hot rods! :) and i am sure they glow enough to be seen, who knows modern LED's may be in the taillights, and i am sure there both converted to 12 volt, and thanks for the comment! :)
