Re: Set of 4 shocks and arms need info
They appear to be front shocks from a 1940 Ford passenger car. Body diameter?
The arms most certainly appear to have been heavily modified. Are the balls welded to the arms?

Re: 1937 ford jack
Yes, even though difficult to believe. I'd be willing to bet he would make this "right" with you in a heartbeat.
Lin is one heck of a good guy.

Re: 1937 ford jack
Tony, it's early all right. Early 1946. Part #51a-17080-a4
If Lin (spelled L I N) sold it to you there was a mistake made. Highly unlike Lin as he is one sharp "tool".

Re: 1937 ford jack
Pete, your suspicion is correct. the jack is 1946. The Ford script bag was introduced in mid 1940 production.

Re: 1937 ford jack
Well, some are and some are not.
The Ford script bag was issued many years later so that's certainly not correct.
The jack is 1946 and is actually kinda rare.

Re: What size battery, Amos, CCA, CA
I'm with Denny on this. An Optima can be mounted beneath the floor without modifications. It can be mounted at an angle.
I did this recently in a '34 as well as a '36.
They do last for many years...

Re: Door weatherstripping 40 coupe
I was just about to comment in the same regard. But, you beat me to it :)
There was no seal like that in 1940 and just because Drake claims it to be "improved" doesn't mean it's any good and / or...

Re: V8 Engine
Ed?
Some easy to do tasks that are paramount to having the car start up well: Each and every ground must be very clean and tight.
Make sure you have heavy battery cables designed for 6v systems....
