1940 Ford Tudor Build Thread
Hi guys, I'm gathering parts and pieces to make some big changes to my 40. This car was my uncle's car and I purchased it from the guy who purchased it from my aunt after it was "restored". It was basically a repaint and interior job. It's a decent car, but not how he wanted it, or how I'm happy with it. I was having issues with what power plant to use but have made up my mind. I went and purchased a 46rh core yesterday, so the 354 Hemi it is! I'l start out with some pics of when I first got it to current.
Here is after some new trim that was missing.
Here's some upgrades to the 377 and TH400.
New wheels and wider rear tires.

As a hobby I keep ten beehives. My queen bees are now getting older and slowing down, so I ordered ten more queens from an apiarist. They arrived, but there were eleven arrived in their containers....
