Re: Leaking waterpump 60hp

Re: Valve removal slide hammer?

Re: 1940 ford 5 window coupe

My 40 Std. coupe is painted Folkstone Grey. In certain light, it looks very gray: in other light, it looks a tan/sand color. It kinda reminds of the color of T-birds in the 90's.

Re: Help identifying the radiator in the '40

Could it be out of a 41 Ford? I think that a 41 will fit a 40 with no mods. I also think a 41 will hold 1 quart of water than a 40 will.
