Hot Rods Got the 40 Coupe out for the first time since Oct!!

Got it back running today, Open headers so it was a little loud! But I went up and down the street a couple of times with the new stance. Rides and looks Much better!

 

Very nice!!!

 

Love that car Tom. I hope you bring it to Salina in 4 weeks. I'd get rid of that Missouri tag though.

 

Looks much better as in totally perfect.

 

Thats a good looking car!

 

Looks good , just wish I could have heard it .

 

Thanks guys, chaddilac came by last week and got me motivated again by helping me tie up some loose ends and I just got it running again about 2 hours ago!

 

Need to put the drip rails back on.

 

Yea, someone took them off in the 70's. I wish they were on as well.

 

Looks great - that stance is perfect!

 

wow! it does look much different off the lift!!

 

Yep I think its perfect! Thanks again for the help!!

 

hope to see it in salina as well. hope to meet ya.

 

Very nice! What are the suspension mods to get that stance?

 

Looks great! And I like the stance myself. Go have some fun.

 

Front has a 4" drop axle and new Superslide spring with a couple of leaves removed. The rear also has a new Superslide spring with leaves removed. Also new 6.00 rear tires and 5.40 fronts.

 

Good looking car. Do you ever go up to Fudruckers on 71st?

 

Nice car, the stance is right on. Even after having gone to 40 ford day I can't get enough. Thanks for showing your ride.

40 Mel

 

I do, but this car is not tagged yet and has open headers. I may drive my Rambler wagon up there tonight.

 

What size tires?, Getting ready to put new shoes on my 40 , just like the way yours looks.

 

Perfection, I wouldn't change a thing on that car!

 

What a nice car! Definitely a less is more car, way cool!

 

I think the fronts are 5.40 fronts and 6.00 rears which is stock size on the rears.

 

Hey Toast,
Glad you got to go for a joyride, the car looks great!

 

Looks great, love those Forties

 

Looks great Tom... Hard to believe it is the same car!

 

Looks great man!!!! Guess you aint sellin it no more!

 

Actually Its traded for a Roadster Got it back running to make the deal. VERY hard choice to do this trade, cause I love the 40 soooo much!

 

Sweet lookin' forty! Hope ya don't regret trading her off!

 

Great car. I see you hadve the same problem I, and every other 40 owner, had with my 40. A few miserable hours of loosening and aligning and shimming and tightening and doing it again and my front sheet metal fit together very well, yours can too!
