Projects Added another fat fender ford 1940

Today I traded off our brown 50 Ford shoebox for this 1940 Ford fordor sedan. The previous owner pulled it out of a shop that it had been sitting in since the 70s I believe. It has a later model 8BA flatty in it, 3spd and Columbia 2spd overdrive.
It has some rot around the trunk that I'm just going to leave for now, it came with a patch panel for the bottom.
Anyways, I'll let the pics do the talking.

 

Here's some photos the previous owner sent me from when they pulled it out.

 

Congratulations, Know where we can find you for a while.
That is the best, one could build, sedan wise.
It really is a time traveler.
Keep us informed as you go.

 

Real nice starting point.

 

I guess I forgot to mention, it does run and drive. It's still 6 volt positive ground.

 

Cool.

 

Love it. You did good.

 

It amazes me how well the seats survive when they were covered with those seat covers. It will be a lot more fun than a 50 Ford. Congratulations

 

Nice. You did good.

 

you'll have fun

 

Love '40 Fords, nice to find a complete car to start the journey with.

 

Excellent score. Welcome to the fordor family!

 

I love the '40 Fords and the shoeboxes too! I have a '40 Std Tudor and three '51 Fords, two are 4drs and the nice one is a Coupe. All are flatheads. Wish my '40 had a Columbia in it. I do have one for a '46-'48 I would like to modify for the '40.
Yours look great!

Way cool car, you can´t go wrong with a 40 Ford!

 

I love those big bulbus cars! Nice score!
