39 Std, 85HP engine compartment, pics, please?

[theHIGHLANDER]

I'm getting to the end of chasing parts and moving into the build and paint process. I've had to make my instrument panel choke/throttle finish plates and just got new handles and rods to run through the firewall. Since mine was originally a 60HP car there's a few differences that caught me unaware. I'm hoping to see some engine compartment pics that show the basics. I know I'm going to be proud to show mine off once done, how about some of my "step brothers"? Who's got some?

BTW, by step brothers (and sisters) I'm making reference to what a stepchild the 39 std seems to be in the chase for stuff. As always, thanks in advance...

39 standard's have a most attractive front profile.
Better than 36's and 40 deluxe's any day.
IMHO.
I have a 39 std 85 HP coupe - chassis # dates from Oct 1938.
60HP has the gearbox hole further forward in the transmission cover plate.

I have a 39 std 85 HP tudor sedan. If I can get some decent lighting, I'll snap you a couple pics. I know mine has a non stock coil and and the next gen fuel pump.

I have restored two of them in the past five years or so. Both very high point restorations... lots of detail pictures. I'll post this evening. If you desire more at that time, just let me know.

Thanks for the kind words. That's actually two different cars. And yes, both are Jefferson Blue.
