So I have another new Panel- 1939 Ford panel

Thanks Sam, my Dad said he has a pair he'll give me...if that falls through I'll let you know!

 

Looks great post cleanup. Love that beltline. Please don't paint it!

 

Same here, can someone post a link to the '46 find? Bob

 

One of my favorite years just because of the grill.

 

I have a driver's side 265 manifold you can have if you come get it.

 

so we call you panel truck chris now lol Iam looking for a 40 panel but havnt found one yet . Nice to see you at Bonneville

 

I may take you up on that if my Dad can't find the ones he told me I can have

 

Do you remember where you heard/read this? I am working on getting a 39 Standard sedan and am currently planning to buy a Y from a friend who has one squirreled away. I tried to dig up some info on here but without much luck.

 

I just remember from experience, but it's been a while. If you had a remote filter plate you could get around it...I had a neat finned aluminum Hildebrant plate but sold it off a while back. Y blocks are also pretty long, I know shoehorning one in a 33-36 Ford is tight.

 

Chris has an advantage over many of us. He has a Father and brother that are just as crazy as him. When Chris finds a rig, usually one of them is looking for one too, so when it comes time to sell he always has a buyer. It makes buying a car much less stressful when you know you can find a home for it quick! Now, poor Becky (Chris' Mom) she is about to make Dave(Chris' Dad) move out into one of the bazillion projects he has picked up from Chris.

So Boones don't even try to stay in the loop.

 

Everything Mike just stated is 100% true

 

pretty cool score , hope you post some build photos , id follow along as you post

 

I like it, I like the 38 and 39 Fords. You come up with the coolest stuff. I will do some checking and may be able to round up some of those front end parts. I know where theres a pretty nice grill.

 

Did someone mention a GRILLE?

 

Wow, great score and great material to work with....

 

Not sure if you saw them, but there is a pair of rough back doors on the 'bay. Not cheap, but i can't imagine there are a lot of them floating around.

 

I think I saw a 42-47 panel on the Seattle craigslist last night

 

I did...I think the whole doors look thin...too rich for my blood!

 

I just found that...in Montana it sounds like. Good thing I already snagged one, Great Falls is quite a trek, even for me

 

So Chris; have you done anything to the pannel yet?

 

Yeah- came to my senses and sold it!!
