Thread: 39 Ford (Coast to Coast) Rebuild

Tweet

This is a mixed comment. During my 7-9 year build of a fiberglass roadster I subscribed to Street Rodder magazine primarily for all the latest advertisements. Some marketing group kept upping my subscription so at one point I was subscribed 8 years into the future. Most of the builds in the magazine are hi-buck beyond me but are close to what you are working on. Now that my car is finally on the road I am letting my subscription lapse and yes I paid a pro to go over all the minor problems in my build which was not cheap and became a project in rebuilding my car his way. Even so I finally got "my" car out of his garage and managed to pay the bill with appreciation for fixing my car to meet Va State Inspection. This message is to suggest that you can probably find all the parts you need in Street Rodder advertisements, a Speedway catalog and a JEGS catalog. Yes there is a LOT of help and expertise on this Forum and by the way Ford built "Standard" models based on the previous years "Deluxe" model. The most obvious example is the 1940 Standard based on the 1939 Deluxe with the 1940 Deluxe differing in the grill area.
