Hot Rods Let's have our own 85th anniversary event for the 40 ford...

Great pic and post

 

No, I snatched the picture off of FB. No other info.

 

with a sagging driver side door handle, just like my '40!

 

...................What! You mean they didn't come from the factory like that !!??

 

I saw a reference via google that Greg traded a 1959 Les Paul guitar for the 1939 Ford. Sounds like a great trade to me - but I can not play a guitar. Raised in the NC Mountians in the early 1970's - I was preteen kid when the Allman Brother's Band played Love Valley in 1970 - and bought property. Really loved his music - and values. Todays artists fall short of the mark.

 

On the way to a little show this past Monday.

 

Can't believe I get to play ...

 

here's some-last year the CMG dlx is my old standby-#4 of 14 done. The std went to LA and the maroon one I was fixing for a guy from Monterrey-now has a 65 Rochester FI unit.

 

Like many on here, I just can't keep '40s out of my system. Posted up some of the previous owned stuff a couple years ago on page 8, but here's a new to me one just picked up from a fellow HAMBer. Already doing a little tweaking with a bit more to go, but for the most part it's just what I wanted to recreate the early '60s high school vibe I want.

 

Nice coupe Uncle Bob! Hope it drives as good as it looks!

 

Day 125/151 of 2017. Power parking at the filling station.

 

That is a good red on that 40 Uncle Bob.

 

Thanks. When I was looking it came down to this one and a black one that showed great on top but needed more refinement on the mechanicals. I went with this one because the PO Rob did a nice job of making it go as well as look good.

Thanks, color can always be "one of those things". It's so dependent on light. When I took these shots it was heavy cloud cover. In the PO's sales ad his camera made it look a tad orangey, not quite to the point of Mustang Poppy Red, but in that direction. He says he has used the red from a Ford Lightning truck to touch up chips. I had to warm up to this color, and adding the trim rings helped (it's a balance thing). To my eye it does resemble a '40 factory color called Vermillion red.

 

I just watched the latest Competition Ready TV show on Velocity and my '40 got some good air time.

 

Glad to see you and Miss Linda out and about !! I have missed your posts on this thread .

 

A Saturday night "wowser"

 

Cleans up pretty good

 

Jim and Vickie Delzer’s 1940 Ford DeLuxe Coupe has been restored to even better condition than it was in when Vickie rode in the car as an infant in the mid-1960s. The beautiful Lyon Blue coupe was treated to a complete body-off-frame, nut-and-bolt restoration over a period of more than seven years. Mike Berry The Wichita Eagle

Survivors

 

this pic reminds me of high school, class of '60, but I could only drool as my paper route only afforded me a Schwinn

 

A fellow H.A.M.B.er won the hardware yesterday at a Boise car show with his excellent 1940 Ford pickup (MJ40s)...

 

Oh my! I'm in love

Well Miss Linda needed a little cheering up today so after I got her dressed,we went to the Epping NH version of a big city food truck. A shingled Winnebago parked next to the NAPA store on Rt 125. After cheeseburgers and crispy good onion rings eaten to the background music of the funny cars at New England Dragway (NHRA Nats this weekend), all was right with the world.
By the way Don, what do you think? After all imitation is the purest form of flattery.

 

I like it.

 

The two reasons that made me fall in love with this fog lamp were the beautiful amber color and the way the fluted lens mimics the Forty Standard grill bars.
