I found this pic from way back when. I don't even remember if my dad ever used anything from it it just sat in Grandpa's barn for a while. Think I was about eight or nine

 

For the bump......

 

Cold weather here soon so tucking my coupe in until spring , had a great year cruising, 7330 miles of smiles.

 

Congrats on a great year of many miles with smiles i.rant!

 

One of the few benefits of living in Kalifornia is we have more nice weather days than bad, so we can skip the hibernation of our hotrods and enjoy basically year round enjoyment.
Like you, I drive mine almost everyday. 40's been on the road just about a year now and logged just over 10K miles.

 

That sucks . I get to drive mine on the weekends year round but not as much as I would like to.

 

Tore the 283 out of the stake truck and dropping in a 350, for the time being.

Those Edelbrock chrome covers are being replaced by a set of finned aluminum covers.

 

I've never been able to bring myself to trust 4 little 5/16" studs screwed into an aluminum manifold to support a 500+lb. engine

 

I'm with ya! Seen it done many times with no failures observed,... but it just don't seem right.

 

LOL. that's the same conversation I had with my brother-in-law before I used it the first time. I always used a chain attached to brackets that bolt down on the manifold bolts.

I will say, however, it worked pretty nice.

 

I'll never get enough of 40 Fords. As for you guys that care less, Sorry! (not really) Here's a couple more, I have my own ideas about what color but have to give others credit for doing anything different than traditional black or red....

 

Lots of great 40's here Keep em coming! See a few that I worked on-next is another 40 std coupe.
