Just keep moving; that's what I'm doing at 77.
I'll be watching.

Yes! I have not done it, but there are lots of people who have. Do a search here and on the Fordbarn. " 59A heads on an 8ba"
Here is the p/n I am looking at: RSC 40108. You can get the narrow track width with Corvette finned aluminum calipers also ...more money Front...
You're right. In fact, I had another '40 in the 80s with that exact combo and it worked well . I thought I could get what I wanted without the...
Here are a few from the end of the build 2019. The link to whole thread is under my posts.[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I've made a few...
Last summer I sent a spare stock axle to Sid for a small drop and to tweak the spindles to clear the wishbone and correct the Ackerman. I got it...
I got that same impression from the last picture. Cool
I couldn't see your vision until just now. I thought the cab would be back too far, front too long and back too stuby. I was certainly wrong. I...
I am using a YC Mallory in my avatar with a MSD box; since it is a 4 lobe unit you need both sets of points , however I don't have a condenser. As...
^^^^ I like the style that uses the "Ford" biscuit mount rather than the Chevy stock rubber style
Yes, body work sucks. Taking a break now and then is the only relief. I love that little switch box; I doubt many will realize that it is...
You have a 235 intake for 2 single barrel carbs ?
^^^^^^^^ I had a local Radiator shop re core my original '40 radiator for my '41 pickup ( with FH) and that was around $600. My '40 with SBC has a...

Don't be surprised if the springs ,both front and rear, settle a minimum of 1/2 in. in the next 500 to 1000 miles. Just sitting doesn't seem to...
I have a .500 lift Herbert roller in a 330 sbc in my avatar. I bought the cam & lifters in 1968 but didn't use them until about 2016 and then I...
Great picture!
I think mice are worse than regular rust : neither is good. My coupe windshield doesn't leak , but the cowl vent does a little and at the top of...
Interesting idea, but right now , I'll be happy with a patch that didn't warp the pinch weld so the windshield seal doesn't leak.:)
3 months since my last post. The damage to the windshield area on the cab set me back and pissed me off. I can't solve problems without a clear...
I was thinking about swapping parts to make a '40. Apologies.
'39 Deluxe Frame is same as '40 I believe; '39 standard maybe a slightly different front cross member. More like '38or 37.
The starter button shows 2 wires in the diagram. The original Ford button had only the wire from the I terminal on the solenoid which went to...
Got mine yesterday; I hope there are no vans.
Nice job on the interior; you have the perfect car for Route 66.
