Re: 1940 Ford Running Board Covers
I also used Drakes on my 39. I found wooded spring type clothespins to be a be great helper to keep the lower lip tight while the glue dried.

Re: Removing front windshield
I agree with Tom. Remove the frame from truck. The frame screws are a pain to get out. Some may even have to be drilled out, to split the frame.

Re: gas filler neck...
After looking at it again, I think it is lead soldered. A little flux, solder iron, & solder will fix you up as good as new. Lead is more flexible than either steel or brass for a joint like that.

Re: gas filler neck...
That doesn't look like brass braze. Looks more like gas weld with steel rod. First thing I'd try, clean it up good and solder the crack shut.

Re: '40 Std coupe seat
Here's a picture of my frame, yours may be different. Bolts go thru from the inside of seats' metal frame into t-nuts on wooden sides.

Re: 38 temp gauge
I wasn't in a hurry, but I just hung mine on the wall in the shop. It return to normal after a while and has worked good. I've read that some will spin it. Not me.

Re: Non-Tittled in Missouri

Non-Tittled in Missouri
I have a friend, here in Missouri, that's looking at a 33 truck. It's a barn/field find, without a tittle. What are the red tape hoops that can be expected in Missouri?

Re: 1939 Standard front fender braces
There are two braces per fender. The 'long' ones you have aft of the tire & the short ones that go between the inner fender and the front cross member behind the radiator.
