Re: 1940 Ford Zenith Radio
I could easily convert the interior to a modern style bluetooth/USB system using the original speaker, even possibly being able to still utilize the volume dial... but this one seems to work or be...

1940 Ford Zenith Radio
Hey all, so I've been working a bit on my original 1940 Deluxe Fordor's Zenith radio. This radio looks pretty complicated, but I wanted to see if I could get it to work. But I've run into some...

Re: Early Ford Store
Great people there (Early Ford), they just get busy with online orders and in-person shoppers with minimal staff. I'm about 30 minutes away from them so I'll head up there when I need some used...

Re: DIY Seat upholstery
I'm curious about this, as I need to redo the upholstery on my 1940 Ford Deluxe Fordor Sedan. Is it the headliner material you're talking about? And what year Ford Taurus? Thanks!

Re: Another V8 Identification Thread (1940 Ford)
Except people are saying it does have a raised intake. So that seems to make it a 41-42.
I'm going to eventually take off the fenders, and some of the engine items, so I can paint it. That...

Re: Another V8 Identification Thread (1940 Ford)
That I actually did know! It was one of the first things I did when I got the original floor covers off. They do indeed match. Somebody had removed the paint before me on the frame rail so it was...

Re: Another V8 Identification Thread (1940 Ford)
Well darn! Was really hoping this was the original 1940 engine. Not that that's terrible as it's still 1940s, but just another example that an advertised 'barn find original' might not be as original...

Re: Another V8 Identification Thread (1940 Ford)
Hopefully these help? It's really difficult to tell if there is a lip or not. I can't tell if it's part of the intake manifold or a lip with all the paint, but the front doesn't appear to have a lip?...

Re: Another V8 Identification Thread (1940 Ford)
Hey Mike! (this is Britt, who's been emailing you), Thanks for the information. I tried the pencil test, but the vehicle is on an inclined driveway, so it won't stay. If it was level, it would indeed...

Re: 1940 Ford Deluxe Trunk Cardboard Panels
That's my hope to make them! Thanks for the info on the material. Just need a photo of one of them (I assume they are the same shape on either side) to get an idea of how they look.

Re: 1940 Ford Deluxe Trunk Cardboard Panels
It's tough because I don't think many have shots of them pre-install or when they were pulled out. And since no one sells them repro, I might just have to 'guess' based on photos. But hopefully...
