    Ok so this thread is probably not going to be what you thought!:D
    What I need is some good photographs of various parts of a 40 Ford!!

    I need good detail shots of the structure on the insides of both the trunk (Boot, hey I'm an Aussy, thats what we call em') and the Hood (Bonnet).
    I also need some good pics of running board Irons, front inner guards and the interior body structure of the body.

    I know I'm asking a lot guys but I just cant find what I'm looking for on the net and I don't know anyone with a 40 coupe thats handy.
    Maybe its because I am computer illiterate but hell......

    Thanks in advance guys and girls.

    Doc.

    PS Is there much difference between the front inner guard structure of a pickup to a coupe?

    Re: bonnet. DeLuxe or Standard? What type of photos do you need of the bonnet? Top, underside? Latch mechanism, hinges, braces?

    Even when I got my 39 much of the stock structure in the front was gone, now it is even further from stock. I don't think my pics will help a lot.

    Good call, I just expected the bonnet to be the same, Im building a Delux. I need pics of all the underside of the bonnet, the strengthening, latch and hinges.

    I think you really need to go to Early Ford V8 site and buy the 1940 resto book. It is not one of their best books, but has a LOT of detail pics of everything.

    Labold has done a great job on hood photos. Here's a few more plus a book you will need.
    This is a DeLuxe hood. Standards are way different. Please post a few photos of your 40.

    Labold, 19fordy Thank you guys!
    Dan, I will check that out, again thank you.

    Bruce, I have had a look. Nice book but pricey if I want to get it here. The pics and other sites I think have given me enough of what I need though. Thanks anyway mate.

    No, not like I can afford a 40! This is for a model project, about all I can afford right now. I recently discovered that my brother managed to retrieve my '48 A40 so once I get myself financially stable again I do have a project car.

    But apparently I'm not Australian now? Bugger, and I gave so much for the country.

    Doc.
