I have six window reg's for a 40 2dr sedan I would like to sell as a group. I have 2 lf regs, 3 rf regs, & 1 rr reg. most came from swap meets, ebay, or came out out of my tudor when I converted to power windows. all turn with a wrench on the post, but the rollers dont look very good. time...

if ever in the area again, visit the SAC Museum exit426 I-80. several planes inside including an SR-71 just inside the frt door.

anyone ever stationed at Offutt AFB, home of SAC??? I'm in Omaha

stay away from Georgia. I found the perfect 40 Ford sedan there but it had no vin anywhere except on a firewall tag made by an engraver. they don't use titles, just registrations. my state, Nebraska said NO,NO CANT BRING IT IN. so I passed on it.

there are 12 listings on ebay for 1935 maine plates

I agree, keep it for display. another 35 plate is probably readily available. check ebay. after buying my 40 Ford, I found a 1940 Nebraska plate. I thought it would be cool to get a 1940 plate from each of the 48 states. turned out to be a lot harder & more expensive than I thought, but...

In 1973 I went to work for Sample-Hart Ford in Omaha. It was started by WC Sample in the 20's. The original building was 2 blocks from a plant where Fords were assembled from 1920-1932. WC would have his salesmen walk to the plant to pick up new cars & then drive them back to the store. WC...

on the glass boards, I had the body shop install ones I had from Vintique. he said they went on pretty smooth. the steel boards need some minor straightening so I may just have him glue a set of Vintique covers on when he's done with the metalwork.

Kube, another question for you on my 40 tudor. I had it painted & reassembled at a great body shop 2 years ago. great gaps, very happy with the work. It has fiberglass running boards, the only glass on a good steel body. since then I have found a good pair of steel boards that need to be...

Just used Bob Drake on my 40 tudor this summer, worked great

I used 0000 steel wool & got good results but I suppose it all depends on how bad the moldings are to start with.

re-doing my 40 standard 2dr sedan & found 1940 brown mohair under the grey tweed that was done in the 80's. nice to know that the covers lasted almost 75 years. I am going with red & white tuck/roll. hope it last 35 years.

you guys are too car obsessed. I cant believe no one has mentioned the picture on the wall that appears to be Marilyn Monroe. LOL

I have the Drake hinge pin mirrors on my 40 sedan. "rodtiques" sells a 5" replacement head that greatly improved the vision over the 4". I bought them on ebay for $39.95 + shipping per pair.

I've got a 40 2dr sedan we're replacing the windshield on. I ordered a new seal, interior divider, and exterior divider post from Bob Drake. My body shop has it installed, but he says the only way he could get the three holes to line up was to have the antenna hole on top. This makes me...
