Just purchased our first "hot rods" - 1939 and 1940 Ford Sedans

We have some 1960's Fords, but this is our first "go" at some Pre-war cars. They are certainly projects, but looking forward to getting into it!

Thanks,

Jason

 

Hi & welcome. My third car - first hot rod was a 39 ford coupe with less than year old 55 Chevy 265 V8 from a wrecking yard.
From your profile all of your rides are Hamb friendly rides & that is great.
What part of the country are you located? Post some photo's when you can.

Welcome to the H.A.M.B. are you building both, or using two to build one? Their one of my favorite body styles. Like Jimmie said, I too would enjoy seeing your sedans. This is a great place to be when building a project. Have a great New Year, and enjoy your HAMB TIME. Ron {LOW UFO} from Va.

 

Thanks Guys! I am located in Rootstown, Ohio just east of Akron.

Here are some pictures of the day I brought them home. Actually purchased them from another H.A.M.B. member.

Like I said - they are "projects". I'm gonna focus on the '40 as it's in better shape and more complete. It will end up the wife's car, so I'm making sure it will be reliable and easy to drive. Not sure on the '39 yet...May clean it up and sell it but time will tell. We also run a small farm so we do not get bored!

 

Welcome. Looks like some great projects.

 

Welcome to the Hamb,the 39/40 Fords make great hot rods.

I've had a 39 Convertible,40 pickup,3 -'40 coupes and 2 - '4o sedans and if the right deal came along tomorrow I would have another.

We you get started keep us update with photo's of the progress. HRP

 

Thanks. There certainly seems to be A LOT of experience here so any help is appreciated.

I'm anxious to get started but I have a few other projects to finish before summer. The hardest part will be pacing myself! hehehe. I'll keep everyone updated.

 

Love to have a 39 or 40 sedan. Good luck on your project.

 

Thank you southcross2631!
