1940 Ford Tudor Build Thread

Does anyone have any good leads on the 02 ish Mustang hydraboosts? None of the yards around here have any and the cheapest one on flebay I've seen was $250. I hate to use a pick up one but I have a couple of them setting around. Haha

The '96-'98 Mustangs also had hyrdoboost. You can also consider pre-95 Astro vans.

Thanks for that Randy. I bet there are some astro vans in the yards around here.

Today I was able to get the pieces cut and fit to mount the RH air bag. I still have some work to do for it to be completed. I think I'm going to notch the frame a little so there are no clearance issues with the bag. Right now, when cycled clear up, the top bellow just touches the frame. I also will be installing a bump stop as well.

I ordered front shocks, brackets, and a new starter last night. I have Friday off and half of Saturday to work on this. I'd really like to get the rear suspension fitted and tacked in. Having the car almost be a roller again will be huge motivational points.

This morning I was able to get the LH bag mounts made and half done. Hopefully by Saturday afternoon I can put the wheels on it and put air to the bags and watch it go up and down.

Randy, or anyone else...... Are the astro van hydraboost units physically the same size as the pick up ones? From the pictures online they look pretty close if not the same as a pick up unit. I almost picked one up the other day, but I found a pick up one in my storage box and if they're the same units, I might save the money and use what I have.
