Features "THE" 1940 Ford thread... Anything and everything 40 Ford

This is the thread of all threads for the car (or truck) of all cars (or trucks). Because... if its not a 40 ford it may as well be a Prius. (That will probably get this thread deleted)

Post anything 1940 Ford related in here!! Are you a nerd with a turd or a jock with a big block? If its a 1940 Ford... Post up a picture!!

Or, maybe the neighbor across the way has one... Post up a picture!

Do you have a toy or a drawing or an old picture of a 1940 Ford... Post up a picture!

Newly acquired a few weeks ago.

 

There is already a 1940 Ford thread:

My 40 business coupe deluxe,found in a basement apart 30 years ago put back together mono springs split wishbones straight axle tri-power

 

We have a thread for '40 Fords and I think another would just clutter up the site.

 

Excuse the clutter...

 

The thread is gaining traction!!

 

Should this post not have been saved for a tire tread? I mean thread?

 

@X38 my comment was in jest.

 

@Budget36 Hahahaha.

 

Why is it on the Majority 40 Fords it seems to be okay to not bother getting the side Moldings to line up correctly? Any yes, I have done it and know what it takes to do it. What it takes is a builder/owner to want to go the final Yard in making one of Ford's best models look like you care instead of Close is good enough.

 

Here's one of the minority.

 

Can there their be tooo many 40 Ford threads??
I think we see many similar 28-32 Ford threads, I need motor-vitiation to replace the cam in my truck and build my wives 40 stakebed, and dream about my 40 Ford truck Comp Coupe XO Land Speed Racer

 

Thank You 19Fordy! Outstanding example and how Henry wanted them to be. Even your Hood to Grill is well done. Someone actually cared and knew what they were doing. Well Done!

 

I'll add to the clutter. Here's my three plus the artwork from the Midwest Forty Ford 80th Birthday Gathering event I hosted last September.

 

My 40

 

Looks like you took the really cool running boards off the coupe...

WTF!

 

Yeah. I was fine with them but my dad insisted I needed new Drake boards. The original boards went to Iowa back in September. The front of my rear fenders have lots of impact marks from the old rubber chunking off the boards. Here's one for old time's sake, Ed. and ricocheting off of them.

 

love it! She just has the look, Bret!!

 

Whale they were aligned when it was finished.....just got to keep out of that clutch !

 

40 fords are like boobies ,never enough please post more

 

She could definitely use a hood alinement. If truth be told, it’s “passenger side” hood trim mounted on the drivers side. Sometimes you have to make due with what you have.

 

A little trick that I learned, when you close the hood and its at the part when one side or the other drops into the fender. Push the high side in on the bottom of the side next to the fender and watch that side drop down also. Then you can latch the hood and it will latch a lot easier also.

 

Whoa, she’s a real beauty!

 

Shameless self promotion.......

 

Thanks VF-1, when I was in A school in the Navy, I would draw pictures of the parts of the 40 Ford, just loved them from building models before I could drive.
