Here is a shot of my 40 after a Minnesota wind tunnel test.

 

I like it!...sweet

 

Love the 40 g***er..... Ol'Chevy

 

My woods find g***er, I wish it was a barn find.

 

I finally got my car in order. The grill and all trim is in as well as the motor. I still think the 1940 chevy is the best street rod body.

 

After seeing Cleatus' car, I really wouldn't be able to build one any way except as a custom. What a beautiful car!

 

Here is my '40 Chevy. It has a 500 Cadillac Eldorado engine that has been cammed up a bit and it is backed by a turbo 400 with a 79 Trans Am rear end. It was a factory straight axle car, but someone did a nice job welding in a mustang 2 front end, so we finished up the steering and just went with that for now. I would like to see a straight axle back in it someday.

 

My 40 g***er.

 

The only good lookin 40 Chev I have ever seen. A real cl***y lookin car. I got to take a look at it in Santa Maria this year the detail is amazing!! The way the door mates to the dash... Man That is THE high watter mark for a 40 chev.

 

here is one Alex Gambino built

 

buddy ron,s coupe

 

This belongs to a buddy of mine over here


On Jaguar IFS with an inline six. Drives like a dream!! (And the wheels are more of a burgandy colour now)

 

Where did you find her? What's the history?

 

sorry buddy, thats a 37-38...

 

found it in Ohio

 

I found it in ohio in a little town called wellsing. It looks different now

 

Barry is that car bagged? In the picture it looks like the front tires are awfull close to the fenders. Nice car.

 

I know it's not a coupe but it's a 40 chevy. It's the only picture I have on this computer. Last winter I started it and ran it for a little while....

Just drove it to work tonight.

My favorite.."Mr. Irish" 40 Chevy G***er..This car sat around the corner from where I grew up in the 70's..As a young kid I always dreamed of owning it someday..The car still exists today,its now a streetrod in the Philly area..

 

Hi,

Here is my jewel. I also agree, it is one of the nicest hot-rod body styles around!
This beauty was built 23 years ago............NO, not by me. I have only owned it for a few months. My '30 Model A is taking me a long time to build so we had to have something to enjoy now.
LG,

i've seen quite a few up here in the frozen tundra, but never a '41 poncho like mine.

 

Last of the old Chevys with running boards! I had one right out of hi school in 1968 that we dropped a mid 50's truck straight axle into and a 413 Mopar with torqueflite. Wish I'd kept it!

 

...my buddy has this one for sale in the cl***ifieds...real solid western body, has a ***le .

 

well....it's a 39 Olds but its close...and I sold it.

 

just found this and had to buy it! its almost complete but parts inside car. Need running boards if anyone can help me out with a contact. anyone in the n.california area recognize it??

 

That does not look bad. The parts that are missing are the ones you want to replace anyway. There is a chevy dealer in your area that specializes in the car especially the trim parts they are called I and I repoductions

 

this is 37 or38.

 

Nice.....

 

New guy here. This is the 1940 coupe i picked up about a month ago. it was done in the 70's and I almost have it to the point where I can drive it.
