John beat me to it, but I was going to comment on VanPlet as well. If you are interested in reading material I would get a copy of their most recent catalog. It should keep you busy for a while!

Before we left I was able to complete reg and was mailed the title so it comes off the trailer this week. I can't reiterate what a blessing it is to have you all as a knowlege base. Ive looked at a few backgrounds and the number of cars some of you guys have and would love to see em. Have a great week!

A very good book on your car is available from the website of the Early Ford V8 Club of America. The book covers the 41 through 48 cars. Click on their online store then go to Ford books. You won't be sorry if you buy this book.

Another excellent source is "Southside Obsolete". They have a lot of NOS stuff that you may be looking for. BTW, NOS beats the hell out of reproduction and even good used most of the time. It is the first place I check when I'm looking for something. The owner, Fred Wilner, is on this site as "barnfind08". It's the first place I would check if I were looking for anything.

Fred also has a pretty good stash of used parts as well as NOS.
