Momma won't be happy if the boys don't wear gloves. Brasso comes out a sort of puke green but turns black the harder you rub and does a pretty decent job of staining anything it gets on. A soft...

You're quite welcome, I went through a couple of cans of that stuff during my time in the Marine Corps.

Hard to beat Brasso...

Another vote for the firewall

Those look great and should really stand out when you pop the hood. The only thing better, IMHO, would be a set of DeSoto covers.
Chrysler's are too common and Big Daddy used Dodge ones on some of...

That's fantastic, I applaud that young lady. The 40 Ford is one of the finest designs ever and I wish I still had mine. Nothing like driving a straight axle.
I wasn't blessed with a son so Ian, my...

Don't get me wrong I'm not hacking on you, I think those gauges are cool and finding good S-W gauges would be a problem so you use what you have. I have the S-W 160mph speedometer that was in my...

Looks great and I agree with everything said. But if you were after a 60's look you would have a full compliment of S-W gauges with a Sun tach same as I had in my 36 5 window coupe in 64. No radio...

As I would have said in the 60's, "pretty bitchin' "

The 40 is coming along nicely and the picture is too cool.Something tells me that Colfax is a neat small own. I've been through the area once, on a choo-choo ride from Omaha to Dayton, Ohio in 1964

We have a number of Braum's in town so I logged on and asked which one but be assured I'll be there. My second car was a 40 Standard 2dr sedan I drove from San Diego to Dayton, Ohio in 1962.

Hell of a build. I just checked and you are less than 400 miles from me practically due north. That would make a great little road trip, might have to try it someday. I've only been in Iowa once and...

I am definitely NOT a fan of vbutt windshields, takes away the character of the car. But then again your car, your money and my .02 cents worth.

FWIW, IMHO,it'll look just fine without a hole in the hood for a 6-71. I love blown Hemi's, but I love stock looking 40's better. I have loved 40's since I was little and still regret ever parting...

Congrats on the win. Now it's imperative that you get it back on the road.

I don't like it since it screws up the lines of one of the most beautiful cars Henry ever produced. Just my $.02 worth.

Ryan, I posted this for Mike and then thought of you. https://www.ebay.com/itm/112642692463?ul_noapp=true

Mine was a Standard and yours is a Deluxe, the grill on a 40 Standard closely resembles the grill on a 39 Deluxe, 1 piece versus 3 piece and from what I see your front sheet metal needs to come up a...

I put a Petronix unit on the 66 289 Mustang I gave my grandson. I converted a Mallory dual point and used a matching Petronix coil. He came home in Nov. and drove the car to Cherry Point, NC with no...

My '40 and tech's '48 were the same

That appears to be an early Holley and I doubt that it has power valve blow out protection. I would strongly advise that you install the blow out kit during rebuild. And just out of curiosity what is...

That's a gorgeous car, but I'll admit that the under carriage leaves a bit to be desired. It sort of reminds me of what my 36 5 window looked like when I first bought the car in '64. 40's have always...
