Re: Installing a wiring harness
Most shops around here are time and materials on wiring. So assume a labor rate of at least $75 per hour and 20 hours you'd be at $1,500. I rewired my 42 Ford with a Carpenter kit and I'll have to...

Re: 1955 Ford Fairlane

On Cathy's 55 Fairlane 3 of the front seat buttons were missing. I found some on Ebay but boy they weren't cheap. The tan ones are available if someone needs them. The packages had dates on...

I found two 1943 license plate tags yesterday. Pennsylvania did not issue a full metal license plate in 1943 in an effort to conserve metal for the war effort. Put one the plate of the 42....

Re: 1942 Ford deluxe coupe project
bssmnbll, I think you gave a great description of where the car is at this point. Not a show car but something a young kid would have had in 1960 or 1965. This one too has a 47-48 engine it (59 A-B)...

Re: 1942 Ford deluxe coupe project
The 42 is running well and at this point pretty reliable. That day the speedometer needle stuck and pegged at one point at 100 MPH! Honestly, I've never lubricated it and was surprised it worked at...

Re: 47 front floorpan
I think they go in the four holes on the floor portion about an inch or so before the curve starts to the firewall. Get the seal kit also. I had to trim it to fit on my 42.

Here is a picture of the floorboard from my 42. Should be the same 42-48 with most 48's being made out of aluminum instead of steel.

Re: 2 wire versus 3 wire circuit breaker?
The H stands for headlamps and the A stands for AMP and B is battery to my knowledge. On my 42 all the other lights on the car were connected to the A circuit. 40 may be entirely different. The...

Re: Shocks
There were two NOS front 40 shocks (or so marked) at the Hamburg NY swap meet Sunday. Saw Charlie NY there. He said to tell everybody hello.

Re: Shocks
Are your rear shocks marked F 745 by any chance? I bought a NOS one that I thought
would fit my 42 but was mis boxed. If it's the same and you need it it's available.
