Im currently putting the stock seat (Re-upolstered) back in the 40

 

this is my 39 ford im trying to finish before the roundup

 

i just picked up a grill for this car. anybody in need?

 

I sure could use a decent grill for a 50 Ford tudor if anybody happens to have one collecting dust ......... Needs to be presentible chrome.... Mine is in dire need of replating and I dont want to paint it...... building a Chopped top nostalgia 50........

 

In my opinion, Henry did it right when he did the '40. I wish I had one in my garage. Here's a couple more.

 

I am the third owner,44k original miles.

 

Squigy any updates on the 40 project? Com'on its been at least 2 months since you got it.
Oh and Ill throw mine up here too.

 

The frame motor,trans,brakes tank is all done.need driveashaft and the body will go back on the frame for body work....Thanks for asking

LOL...That's a pic of my '40, at the Springfield, MO NSRA event a few years ago.

 

I took these at work the other day. The Space Shuttle in the back ground is Atlantis which is doing the Hubble Space Telescope update, mission STS-125

old man scrub! awesome guy

 

Wow, that has a lot of rake. What size tires are you running on it?

 

here's a before/after of mine that i sold last year:

 

5.60's and 8.20's on 1950 merc wheels
reversed eyes front and read and a 4" drop axle

Different view

 

My old 40, still kicking myself in the ass for selling it about 20 years ago is posted on page 2, Red one with the 59 Vette taillights.

 

I drove this one to high school in 1957. It had a 1954 Chrysler 354 Hemi in it.

 

Here is mine but about a week away from finish. Just have to find the right week!

 

Very nice. How did you get the Merc caps to fit the wheels as the Ford axle sticks out too far. That always gave me a problem. Thanks.

 

Nice tastes! I thought it was mine. A friend in Idaho sent me photos of this car a couple weeks ago.

 

Awesome pics.

 

merc wheels and caps seem to work fine

 

I always had the problem of the 40 axle sticking out too far and the Merc caps would not go on. Strange.

 

I love the '39 Deluxe and '40 Standard coupes...

...there must be four other picture threads on these.

EDIT: Search is your friend - these four just on the first of 7 pages when I searched "1940 pic"

A 40 Std I did a makeover on for a customer. A proud papa got this from his son as a father's day gift a few years ago. I love the standard grille and these cars look best to me without bumpers. I wish I had the cash to buy it at the time. This is a cherry ,rust free western car.

 

Now you're talking. I recall back when I was about 10 in 1960 or so and the Pravenzano Bros had a 40 Delux with a 354 Hemi in it. Something to die for. The 354 came out as a one year only in 1956 (I owned one back in 1967/8), 1957 was the year the 392 debuted.

 

mj40's - your `40 sure is coming along nicely, Mel. I just love the fact your coupe is coming back in black. We'll have to work on at least getting another cameo shot of it behind the current Firebird Raceway sign for "keepsake"...maybe Oldies but Goodies Drags the first weekend in June. Keep pluggin' and chuggin' on it.
