Great info! Lots to ponder and good to see Fords interpretation of the pre crumple zone days! It is not too far off from the tri five Chevy's 2 bolts on the radiator saddle and 4 bolts on the back inner and outer fender attachment points. The tudor still looks to be in decent repairable condition! Keep up the great work and I look forward to the next one!
Yeah, same exact principle, and I think all of them followed that for years. They are actually safer than most people think, esp when you change the seat and column. Those ULTRA heavy non-latching seats kinda threw you into that solid shaft steering column.
that and those 100lbs seats didn't latch, so they threw you into that solid shaft column.... lol. maybe that was the secret to it? the seat was designed to fold you in half so you would duck that hood.... lololol.
Too bad it got smashed like that. From some of the vintage safety videos I have watched you where more at risk of being impaled by the steering column or flying through the windshield. Ouch 😳
The thought did cross my mind on this one but I'm really on the fence about it. All steel tilts are old school cool as all get out..... but boy oh boy do they make a lot of noise.
Awesome story and some good oll school collision safety! Tudor!
Great content as always
Great video! I'm kinda familiar with those backwards opening hoods! 😊👍

Great stuff Brother Bare!
hey there brother Hoop Great to See ya man!
Great video Man! No one needs their head cut off. Lol
Reality is, the steering column would shove you into the back seat, before the hood would get you. 😅

@@BareRoseGarage 🤣🤣 possible.
Hey brother man, good vid bud👍👍, keep on rolling yourself 🤙🤘✌️
Thanks Doug!
That floating front end design was used on the GM cars of the era also . I looking forward to see what you do with that car it should be a cool piece
I think pretty much all of them used this, and it sure makes them easy to just pop the nose off to get in there and work on them.... lol.
@@BareRoseGarage I think you’re right
I had a 57 ford 500 once

You're gonna make it a tilt front end anyway, right?
