1949 Ford Body Swapped BMW 335I Chassis Drivetrain Hot Rod Street Rod 2021 SEMA Show Las Vegas NV

In this video from the 2021 SEMA Show held in Las Vegas NV I catch up with this 1949 Ford body that has been been placed on a BMW 335I chassis...That's right...It's a 1949 Ford on the outside and BMW 335I everywhere else...The builders tell Me it feels like you're driving a widebody BMW...The concept came from wanting to do something different with something that they loved....Old Fords and BMW. The body is still in bare metal...No paint...This 1949 Ford from the 2021 SEMA Show is not that kind of Hot Rod....The interior is partly BMW 335I and custom Hot Rod....Covered in Red Cloth...Fits the build well. The Wheels are custom Truck Wheels that give it a very aggressive look...Body mods are many, it has been chopped....Shortened seven inches...The Body of the BMW 335 was cut off and the 1949 Ford Body was set on to that platform...So the amount of fabrication work was great...Under the hood is the inline turbo six from the BMW 335I...But keep in mind this in not a motor swap...It's a body swap...A body swap I don't think anyone else has tried...Very cool for sure..Check it out!!!

I've been following this build since about a year in, and it is really something!. The best part, they managed to piss off BOTH the Ford guys AND the BMW guys at the same time! The Ford camp was nuts about chopping up a "Perfectly Good" '49, when in reality it was only going to end up at the scrap yard, truth be told. They gave it a new lease on life! The Beemer crowd cried the same "Cut up a perfectly good BMW".... I believe it was hit and considered a salvage title, No harm, no foul. Best of both worlds as far as I am concerned. Glad you got a chance to cover it Scottie!

The First Turbocharged Production BMW – 1974 BMW 2002 Turbo. The BMW 2002 Turbo was the quickest version of the mighty little 2002, a car named for its engine size of 2000cc and its number of doors – 2. Thanks for sharing Scottie and the best to you and your dear family in 2022!

Thank you Scotty for doing the interview and for putting our project out there for others to enjoy.
Happy New Year! p.s. I do stand corrected on what the first production BMW Turbo was (the 1974 BMW 2002). 👊

I owned one of these lead sleds with a much improved flat head eight. Jimmy Finger planned the project. Dynamic Mechanics did the engine and 4 speed Trans. Alamo Paint and Body did the paint and chop. What a great car it was. It was the original BIG RED. This one you featured is a cut above and really worth the video work ya did. Thanks Scottie...

[eliteharrington]
