Thought you would like to see the history of my 40 ford. Click on link and then on page #1 and then on each photo to enlarge. 19Fordy

 

Yeah man, i liked it!
I love 40's..one of my all time favorite's.
I also like seeing those old photo's.

But this one flat catches the look!!


Nice car.
Rat..

 

I have owned a bunch of 40's over the years,,,and loved them all,,,,,your 40 is as nice as they come. HRP

 

Very nice.
I stole a couple pics for my screen saver.
Hope that's ok.

Here's one I'm especially fond of.

 

Very nice!!

Cool history too!

 

Very nice car. The more I see these 40's, the more I love them. Yours just has the right stance: very agressive!
btw, C9, is that the '40 from the cover of Pinky? I 've almost finished reading that brick and it's a fantastic read!

 

Thanks for the photos; they're good inspiraion for me and my coupe. That rake is perfect.

Yes it is, pointed the wrong way though.
Glad you're enjoying the book, thanks.

 

Great history and a great car!

My dad bought his 40 coupe in the mid 70's and finished it in the early 80's. His car is built very similar to yours...59AB, Harmon Collins cam, Offy 4bbl, Fenton headers, 40 trans, 40 rear w/3.54 gears, dropped axle, 15" disc wheels.

Here is a pic of his car at the 1982 NSRA Western Nats along with his 46 p/u and my brother's 41 p/u...



I will show him your pics, I am sure he will get a kick out of it.

Oh, one question on your fan, I would guess you are running a double groove lower pulley? Is that a truck item or custom made?

 

Neal, Your 40 is really neat. Very nice job indeed. Yes, thats a ford truck pulley- 2 groove-wide belt.I made the fan pulley.

 

19Fordy, I know this is an extremely old post but I now own the 40 that is on the cover of Pinky. If you or anyone you know has any history on this car I'd appreciate if you could share. Thanks!!

 

Cheeta, Your 40 is a beauty. Unfortunately I don't have any knowledge on the the history of your hot rod.
I wish you all the very best.

 

Nice '40, Cheeta. What exactly is Pinky, a local magazine?

 

Thanks!! Pinky is a book written in 2003 by member C9, Jay Carnine (now deceased). I now own the car featured on the cover of the book. Here's pictures of Pinky and another book he wrote. And a back view of my car showing the old California plate. Last renewed in CA in 2009. Maybe someone will recognize it.
