Hot Rods Let's have our own 84th anniversary event for the 40 ford...

Here you go. This is the last one I'll post of Jerry's 40 as I don't think this is the kind of builds that Mark is looking for.

 

^^^^Truly Bad-Ass^^^^

Yeah. Awesome pass on Moreland'40 sedan video.
I could watch over & over.
No matter what's underneath, it looks like RealSteel bad ass from the outside...almost cartoonish in the still photo "1-wheel stand".
Is that drag car still together & draggin the strip?
Was it real steel body? What years was it draggin?
Maybe it has*(*deserves) it's own complete thread, even if a little "OT"

 

This week, I was asked to have my '40 Ford stake truck to be part of the Junior Johnson's Midnight Moon display at the KOZL Man Show Expo. It may have never hauled shine, nor the supplies to make the shine, it's sure to be a pretty cool display. Thanks @Long Roof Larry, I am greatly honored to have the '40 Ford stake truck in the display.

 

Here is mine in Deadwood SD a couple of years ago.

 

One in Wyoming

 

Here is a delivery I love although I have no idea whose it is.

 

Here is one that a local guy had Hot Rod Garage [OK] pull a SBC and install a built flathead.

 

Couple of sedans at the Ottawa KS Ol Marais run.

 

That's Mike Denney's 40. Motor was built out here in Calif. by Vern Tardel, originally built by Moon Equipment (not Mooneyes) and put in storeage for decades. I found the motor, Vern went through it, and I sold it to Mike. Mike is currently president of Early Ford V8 Club, Tulsa chapter, and a lifetime member of Forties Limited of Orange County. His car collection hovers around about a dozen cars.

 

here's mine when there wasn't snow banks! LOL

 

Hi Okiedokie:
That green Sedan Delivery was built by Roy Brizio's shop. It is outstanding. You can find more pics of it on his website. TEB

 

This was mine a few years ago. Wonder where it is now?

 

back in the day

 

I know it is Mikes 40, just didnt feel I should disclose that.

 

Here is my old school ride 53 flatty mill, 2 deuces and 4 speed

 

Having loved 40 Fords all my life, I have pictures of many, some I've taken, some off the internet, unfortunately I do not know anything more than here's a picture, here a couple of my favorites.

 

Oh man, I usually don't like chopped '40s but that truck really catches my eye, sort of a Ute conversion. That is nice!

 

HERE IS MINE IN GOOD WEATHER.

 

Great delivery Lou.

 

Turns out it's an original 40 color called Garnet maroon. I think it may be Tom's "tweaking" of the photo that makes it stand out.

 

Here's another example of Tom Davison's photo "tweaking" skills. He took this shot of my car at the LA Roadster show last June. The paint looks nowhere near this good in person! The old laquer has seen better days.

 

wow great shot Ol55! My lacquer was really bad but at 20 feet it was great. Sadly the east coast weather and living on a tidal river caused the crazing to become flaking. Hence shiny new black going on the car this month after a complete strip and bead blast.

 

Here's another of mine at the Hot Rod Reunion in Bowling Green last year.
I was honored to be the "Fabulous Forty" pick.

I remember seeing Loafing1's coupe at the Springfield NSRA Nats MANY years ago. Cool car.

 

Loafing's coupe is one of two chopped 40 's I've ever seen that looks right, the other done by Hollywood Hot Rods. Cool car.
