40 ford sedan delivery

Here's another one coming along--still stuff left to do but shaping up pretty well so far-never have done a sedan delivery before-mostly coupes a convert and a woody. This front end was way off but wife and I spent a long day on it and it fits well now.

 

Guy was smart to bring it to you. Nice delivery. Drivetrain?

 

okiedokie--drive line is Ford 9 inch, 1970 350 (kinda lumpy and nasty) with a turbo 350--stock column with stock switch, hidden a.c., hidden stereo,etc. etc.--hope to ake a break for a while--at 68 it takes me a little longer but this one only came here 2 months ago--lots of hours in a short time frame.

 

'40 sedan delivery has been my dream car as long as I can remember. A small picture in Street Rodder in an add from the early 90's with a drawing of one is what got me hooked on old cars.

 

Where did you put the gas tank?

OK I found it. That is the first thing that I check on a delivery and it wasn't there!

 

Is that folkstone grey? Purty.

 

Nice! That color is perfect.

 

Folkstone grey-gas tank moved to car location-still some work to do but not much now

 

Beautiful car. What front end is in it?

 

Big Mac--straight axle front end, dropped axle, 525 box, stock 40 column

 

Nice job Tim. Can you come down and stay at my house so I can finish mine? Henry would hire you for sure.

One of the best years for a delivery IMO.
Beautiful car & color.

 

Dammmm Tim you are killing me with these bad*** forties!!!

 

Really nice.

 

Sweeeeeeet!!

 

Awesome wish mine was that nice

 

took the delivery out today to get the bugs out--runs well and all systems go--going to upholstery in 3 weeks--

 

Sure wish I had been smart enough to go that route rather than the "Street Rod" way..........
