Default My New Favorite Pinup Girl

I know you '40 and '41 fellas have really petty trucks, but this '39 with a '38 car nose would be the belle of any ball!

I don't know anything about it other than it was sold through Mecum in 2010.

I cannot beleive that front bolted on that great. I have a 38 car and the side panels and grille do not fit together that well. I think there was a lot of work that you are telling us about.

good looking truck, a friend in NC is putting a 38 car front end on a 40 pick up cab-should be interesting to see. Since you like 38/39 you can send me the 41 hubcaps for my 41!

Here is a couple of pics of my latest project.
1941 Ford car front end on a Ford F-1 cab.
First one shows it in mock up form.
Second shows some of the cuts needed to make the hood fit.
This is going to be a period custom when I am finished.

Whoa! I wish I made that. Or bought it. Or stole it for that matter.

All I can claim is finding the photo.

Here's the starter kit, though:

That's a smooth tasteful look. I think Henry would be envious.

It actually looks good. If someone told me they were going to do that I would not have pictured it that nice.

Very cool, nice job. I always liked the look of the '38 front sheet metal. I would love to take this truck to an Early Ford V-8 Club meet and tell them it is a one of one prototype from the Ford design studios. I hope you are going to install bumpers to protect those grill bars .

That is simply stunning!
There's one out there with 36 car front sheet on it, again looks like it came from the factory. And I love a 36, but in my eyes this beets it.
Simply beautiful.
Wish it was mine.
Thanks for posting,
Martin.
