Default Re: 1940 convertible restoration started

You have been given very good information on the floor replacement. One old trick also is to in addition to cross bracing the body, tack weld the tops of the doors at the proper gap at the top of the quarter panels. This helps keep the body in good alignment. You will find a wealth of information on all 40's in the 40 Book available through the Early Ford V8 Club. They also have a question column putting you in touch with experts in each year. I have noticed that the big Bob Drake catalog has a good picture of where the floor rubber spacers and strips go and you will also find good pictures of parts like the door handles and window cranks. Dennis Carpenter has them also as well as many good Ford suppliers. Good luck with your project......Flatheads Forever !! PHIL
