It's been about 14 months of "lunch hours" but this '39 coupe is finally done. This is the second '39 standard coupe I've done in the past five years. Both are 100% stock / authentic restorations.
Perhaps now I can devote more time to the '40 coupe and '40 convertible projects!
I'm tired...

Planojc · 04-23-2013, 10:53 PM

Love those Std's. Beautiful job.

Manuel · 04-23-2013, 11:45 PM

Beautiful

Bassman/NZ · 04-24-2013, 04:30 AM

Very nice.

Ken Crans · 04-24-2013, 04:33 AM

Kube,what makes your restos win at the shows is the attention to detail...and the wisdom of Fords. Very nice in every way. Ken

39portlander · 04-24-2013, 05:41 AM

With all that devoted time and result, would hope to see this one on a V8 times cover for next years 75th. The tenacious tone in your threads carries over into your work, very detailed indeed Kube.

With this coupe and Seth's P/U, I'm liking the blue on these 39's.

31chevy · 04-24-2013, 06:35 AM

As others have said, Beautiful.
Gary.

JM 35 Sedan · 04-24-2013, 06:40 AM

Kube, that's one heck of a nice looking lunch hour project! Beautiful job. Will that one be at Tahoe so we can see it up close?

37fatfender · 04-24-2013, 07:09 AM

Fantastic restoration, beautiful. It's really nice to see a car the way it was new. What do you do with it now?

Vic Piano · 04-24-2013, 07:14 AM

Kube, very nicely done, and imitation is the highest form of flattery...

Seth Swoboda · 04-24-2013, 08:23 AM

That's a good looking coupe Kube. If we were closer I'd drive over for a photo shoot of your coupe and my pickup. Is that color Washington Blue?

done4 · 04-24-2013, 08:33 AM

Well done, take a nap then go out there and hit it. It's nice to see that there are still some out there with patience and the drive for perfection.

LuckyFordGuy · 04-24-2013, 08:39 AM

Looks great love that still Rog

Wmgmitchell · 04-24-2013, 08:44 AM

Perfect!

DadsForty · 04-24-2013, 08:57 AM

Fantastic work. Thanks for sharing. Motivated to get back to work on my 40...

deuce_roadster · 04-24-2013, 09:11 AM

Awesome, your work is impeccable. Will that car be at Tahoe? Maybe while doing the 40s you will be able to use those projects as examples for the 40 book. Thanks for sharing those great pictures.

SUHRsc · 04-24-2013, 09:19 AM

Beautiful! What is the color?

TonyM · 04-24-2013, 09:22 AM

Love the 39 Standard. Great Work. TM

Ford46 · 04-24-2013, 09:22 AM

Hey Kube, as always a fantastic job, another very high point restoration. You can stop by my place for lunch hours anytime....LouB.

Thanks for the kind words.
I doubt this one will make it to Tahoe although I may have one or two other cars I've done there. Been a bit too busy with the '40 coupe project.
Next year I hope to have this one and the (current) 40 coupe project at the midwest show.

Hi Mike, Beautiful Work, I Would Expect No Less. Love Those 39's. Wayne

Jefferson Blue, a bit darker (in my opinion) than Washington Blue.

VeryTangled · 05-30-2014, 08:19 PM

Hi All,

Hey Kube, this thread recently popped up again.

Any chance we can get a few more teaser photos? That 'midwest meet' is coming soon. I can't wait to see the car in person, if it's still coming. I'm planning on being in Springfield.

https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showth...hlight=central

The last time we crossed paths was on the show field at Saratoga Springs. One of your woodie cars was getting rained on, no I take that back, it was POURING on the cars right in the middle of concourse judging, our Phaeton included. (Sorry if that is bringing back a bad memory.) Hopefully things turned out well for you that day. It sure was a good trip for me and Dad.

(That show was where we met a fella that bought a bunch of V8-60 stuff and was happy to get it. He saved us from hauling it home, he doesn't know the favor he did. Saw about six of them today! Plus an engine with Ardun heads, at the Eastern Museum Of Motor Racing, while pre-running a tour route for our ENM.)

-VT/JeffH

P.S. I'd like to get a handshake too if that's possible.

Kube · 05-30-2014, 09:10 PM

Hi Jeff,
VERY good to hear from you.
And yep, I recall the rain well. Didn't last long but sure did pour!
Still, things turned out quite well that day.
I will be at Springfield and from what I understand that 39 coupe will be there as well. plus, maybe, just maybe, I'll be showing another one I did after that one.
I am doing another '40 convertible that I hope to have ready but am not 100% certain I will.
I look forward to seeing you again.

41panelmark · 05-31-2014, 08:25 AM

Very nice!!

JM 35 Sedan · 05-31-2014, 08:49 AM

Looking forward to seeing lots of nice EFV-8's at Springfield!!

Henry/Kokomo · 05-31-2014, 11:23 AM

Absolutely beautiful car. About as close to perfection as is humanly possible. Congrats!

johnh7 · 05-31-2014, 12:34 PM

Nice job, I wish I could afford to do it as quickly.

Steves46 · 05-31-2014, 04:22 PM

Beautiful car! Love the 39s and 40s.

Shadetree · 05-31-2014, 06:40 PM

My uncle had a `38 or `39 Standard exactly the same color. Beautiful car!

ccnelson · 05-31-2014, 07:25 PM

Kube, Beautiful car and fantastic workmanship!

turnpikecrusier · 06-01-2014, 05:00 AM

Just Beautiful! I have a 39 standard with 73,000 miles on it. Still original.

Chris in MA · 06-01-2014, 05:39 AM

Very nice Mike.
