Hot Rods Let's have our own 85th anniversary event for the 40 ford...

I can't,I've got a tongue.

 

In progress, hoping to have on the road this summer.

 

You should have a busy winter and spring then! Have fun and be sure to post us up some pictures when you are done.

 

That things pretty clean! Nice car to start out with.

 

Forties were never real popular as drag cars, kinda porky, but heres another one. Good looking car from Portland.

 

Oh mama

 

I don't know any thing about this one.

Just one I found on the interweb.

 

Here's picture from the show showing the hood. The louvers turned out beautifully but I kind of messed up the sheet metal a little in the prep process. I'm going to pull the hood back off, get it media blasted, body worked and repainted the Hot Rod Black of the rest of the car. Then I think it'll be time for some flames!

 

Thanks for the picture UNCLECHET! Looks good!

 

Will miss this one forever , had alot of fun for the 15 years I had it .

 

One of the most gorgeous 40 coupes on the HAMB, originally built by Roadstar. He meticulously added the convertible/woody windshield surround and trim. The interior is equally bitchin'! Miss his posts.

 

Lost this thread during the hassle on HAMB when the post subscription notification feature failed. Hoping this post will get me back on the list.

 

Here's a couple pictures of my friend's '40 Coupe! Jack did a great job on his '40! We've had alot of fun over the years together. The Dark red picture is of the car when he got it. The black is what he's done to it. Awesome Job Jack!!

 

I agree, awesome job Jack.

 

My car was detailed at The Competition Ready detail class this weekend. No snow in South Florida this weekend.

 

Here's an older shot of my tudor and johns rod and Kustom picnic in Melbourne, Australia

 

Truth! I saw the car at the old Gatlinburg run with the hood up. There it was, on the firewall.

 

Used car lot '40.

 

That ranks right up there in '40 Ford lore like the dash in Gene Sonnen's coupe that Dave Bell did!

 

But if your '40 isn't flamed yet, just be sure the Converse sneakers have them!

 

This little beauty sold for $93,500 last night at BJ Scottsdale. Beautiful coupe with an OT drive train. Of course they went to commercial while they sold it......

 

Looks like a nice build but I'm kinda partial to that color.

 

Isnt that an original colour, Cloud Gray, or Mist Gray, or something like that?

 

Picking up a Redbox movie for tonight.

 

Yes orig cloud mist grey as is mine.

 

Mine too!

 

Sunset over Lake Okeechobee yesterday on the way home from the River Ranch Rod Run.

 

I've loved '40 Fords since I was a kid, no changing that now! This picture is the first finished Street Rod I bought. We enjoyed this for 8 years and I got the bug to move on. Friends told me not to sell it but I didn't think I could afford to keep this car. It was a mistake to sell it. Within the past few years it looked near the same, except it had red wheels and white wall tires and it was on ebay. I had tried to buy it back from Craig, but we couldn't make a deal. We did many cruises with this car, Rod & Custom Americruise several years in the '90's, as well as Back to The Fifties, Street Rod Nationals ( was in Louisville, Ky, Columbus, Ohio, & Syracuse, NY, & Nats North in Kalamazoo. We did some serious driving besides working full time.

 

I'm going to pick your brain since this is a 40 Ford thread. I am in the process of ordering new parts since my crash last summer and I need a new rear bumper. I would like to run the sedan delivery bumper since it has less of a curve than the coupe bumper. I have heard that you need to run a set of 37 Ford bumper brackets to facilitate this swap. Any of you guys have any first hand knowledge of this? Thanks. - Andy

 

Not personally familiar with a '40 Sedan Delivery bumper, but I do know that the '37 bumper doesn't have near the bow in it as a '40 does. That would make what you have heard a reasonable proposition.
