Features 1940 and 1939 Deluxe Fords.......Lets see em!

Thanks Moosie. Glad ya like it.

 

A couple since I lowered it.

 

Here's mine. Currently getting a polished Fenton 2x2 intake and some finned heads for the flatty. It will get lower, I've just started....

Tim, your car looks great. I can't get enough of that thing.

 

Here's my '39....its for sale.

 

You guys oughta see 3Deuce32's 40 deluxe now.....it looked good before but Hotrodroadster has had it painted the nicest black paintjob I've ever seen...was walking around it this evening at the local cruise night..took a terrible photo ...

 

Thanks for the compliments Big Mac
Your car is coming along great!



I love this thread, man you guys have some nice rides!

 

That thing is bitchin'!!!!!!!!! Did you get the re-imburse-ment check yet?? Did you get the axle under it yet?

 

Hey Alex! No, I haven't put in the axle yet. I painted it, and if I can get the motor work done this week I'll put the axle in this weekend. With any luck I can give this car the "Labold stance"!!!

 

Big Mac, I dig it! Yours too Labold!

 

That's a good looking car, are you going to do anything to the rear?

 

Ya, I put a Posies superslider spring in the rear, but I will be taking 4-5 leafs out of the spring. I'm doing the same things Labold did to his, but I have different tires.

 

that's what i'm going for too. I just got my brake lines finished up, and next will be the fuel tank and lines, then the body goes back on!!

 

Everyone thinks your crazy to take 5 leafs out of a new Posie spring but it works. It still rides good too.

 

I've certainly been called worse things than "crazy", so I'm going for it!

 

s u p e r nice!!!

 

Alex...... if only you had a flathead lying around you could put in that thing!

 

Here is mine till the trade goes through next week!

 

Labold: Killer stance! Is that a channel job, or just the spring removal?

Big Mac: I really dig that paint job, what is it?

Both of you: are either of you running 16 inch wheels?

I really dig these cars low, and I want mine to be low, but mostly level. I also want to try to run the original 16" steelies that were on the car, but I don't want fender troubles... any advice?

Thanks guys!

 

Some really nice looking rides here. Heres my coupe and my chassis for my 40 pickup in progress

 

I am running the stock 16 inchers on mine. I had to roll in about an 8 inch section of the front fender lip from where the front tires rub (only if you turn). The car is like turning a battle ship around in tight spots. Once you learn how to drive it, you can manuever it around without any problems; so far.
Mine isn't channeled. It has the basic 4" drop axle with modified Posie Super Slides (springs removed) etc. I didn't even split the wishbone.
All in all, I lowered the front 11" and the rear 8" from the nose bleed high stance I started with.
I've had more fun working on and driving this old rickety Ford than any car I've owned in a long time.
You've got tons of tech support here on the HAMB, don't hesitate to ask if you have questions or get stumped.

 

Big Mac your '40 is the one of the coolest '40s I've seen in years... very nice color.

 

I just sold mine this thread makes me miss mine even more

 

Bump!

 

'40 Deluxe and '40 Standard

 

love it. whats it running?

 

here's mine at the Relix Riot at the Gilmore Museum in Michigan.

 

Holy thread revival! Just got this one out of dry storage since '64. Will leave it mostly as-is, with a '49 Merc flattie, and will lower it some. Should be running soon...
