What I do on my "lunch hours"...
Just today finished another restoration. This one is a '40 Ford V8 Coupe. The project took approximately one year but I feel the results were worth the efforts. The body is of course ALL steel and the black paint is as deep and flat as humanly possible. This one is of course bone stock down to the last nut and bolt.
Just started on another '40 convertible. Getting older, this one may take a bit longer than one year.

Hi Kube, That sure looks nice, even has double sided whitewalls. My Dad had a thing for '40's, as you know. The black trim around the headlights is a very nice look. On second look I see an overdrive rear, a nice touch.

Mike, That is truly georgeous and a tribute to both Henry's 40 and your skill.
Well done, to say the very least. I love it. |

A few years ago Mike was doing a 39 wagon. He happened to be hosting a party a few days after the frame was painted. Well, we excused ourselves from the party and went to his shop for a look see. That bare frame was so damn impressive that I felt an inspiration. This video is the result- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MF8cZwzYJB4 Enjoy, (hope the link works). |

Kube,Your the best in the business. Correct in every way. What would the 40 go for at a auction versus selling outright to a private collector? Henry would be proud of the results that you put into that car. Beautiful! Ken

Re: What I do on my "lunch hours"...
Mike, here's a wet towel for you: A Standard (I know, Ford V8) with every accessory known to mankind? How about that! And if that's not enough, it even comes with highly polished undercarriage!
Good job, Mike. Another AACA winner!

Very nice, Kube. Very nice indeed.
I love them authentic and yours is as authentic as they come.

Re: What I do on my "lunch hours"...
Kube, a really nice job on the restoration. Maybe you will bring this to Gettysberg next June so we can see it close up in person.
Itstom, there is no need to fan the fire between these guys. It is also against the owner of this forums rules.
