Any other pictures of the Black 40 Standard?
That’s exactly what I did. I wanted to retain the factory switch but didn’t trust putting a lot of amps through it. So I mused used it to...

Well progress is still coming along. I spent 3 days getting my gas tank to fit. It required trimming to slip into the frame from underneath and...
exactly especially when you don’t check the weather and get caught in a rainstorm. They do help with the spray
Just to add one more option. I drilled and tapped a 3/8 Hole in the calliper mounting bracket for my rear mount and one of the 4 bolts for the...
Sometimes it feels like one step forward two steps backwards. When I went to install the Exhaust it was hitting the floor. Nothing beats cutting...
Body is bolted down now. Doors seem to work even better than before. So I will take that as a win. looks like my new drop spring dose not have...
Well the underside is “fixed” far from perfect but it should be solid now. I have hidden many sins under POR15, Seam sealer, and undercoating....
sounds like you must also have great taste in vehicles
Gotcha I see a 2 post would make the job easier. This is my 40 before I pulled it apart. I have a build thread on it...
Nice work so far. Do you just have the body balanced on the engine hoist? I’m working on a 40 Tudor right and hopefully the body goes back on the...
Even a trip to Costco is an excuse to get the roadster out if the sun is shining. You can really stuff a model A trunk when needed [ATTACH]
That’s the plan I spent yesterday under the car with the grinder and a welder and have it patched up now. A few surprise underneath but I think...
Thanks I have watching your build as well. Nice to see these things get put back together.
Time to tackle the body. The unfortunate truth about this car is that it was an extremely rusty car somebody spent a bunch of time in the 80”s...
thanks Yeah everyone has told me these make good cars for the family. My youngest has told me we are going for ice cream on his birthday day. So...
The work continues on the frame I Put the original battery mount back in but installed a cut off master switch under it. I made up my ground...
Disclaimer I’m not a welder or pretend to be one so correct me if I’m wrong One trick that was shown to me is set your acetalyne to 10psi. Back...
That’s a good milestone getting the banger out. What’s your transmission plan?
it’s just a knock off Rustolum paint from Canadian Tire. Nothing special I believe forest green. It’s a tad lighter then the Ford green from factory
yeah it does present some challenges. To do it over again I would prefer a detached shop. Latest struggle is accidentally dragging in metal...
Good work getting that body off. It’s amazing what you can do with some timber and a jack
[ATTACH] My Boys enjoy a ride in the roadster especially when it involves a cold treat.
The frame is almost back together. Waiting on my rear spring shackles to connect up the rear spring to make it a roller again. Exhausted is...
Looks like a good solid start to your project. Like others have said the outside door handles tell me it’s a 29. I did a 28 on pinched 32 rails....
Looks like I lucked out by ordering a kit a few months ago. I just installed the kit this weekend. They do not use any bearing adapters. The...
Amazing fab work you do. The 3D printing is definitely a step up from my cardboard templates. I understand your pain of the attached garage...
It looks that way but I’m still waiting on some parts so nothing is finished it’s about 80% and we all know that last 20% of a task takes the longest.
I have spent the last few weeks on plumbing the car again. I installed new 5/16” fuel lines including a 1/4” return line so I can hopefully avoid...
