    Welcome to the New 52-59 Ford group

    I’ve documented lots of progress on my 59. Who knows, maybe I’ll start a mini build thread!

    Lincoln-based Columbia OD

    Thanks for the advice Brian. I noticed some of the axle bells have a vent and some don’t. That explains it.

    Lincoln-based Columbia OD

    Great thread. I’m gathering parts for this right now. I just acquired a complete unit for a Ford although I need to make it work for my 39 Zephyr.

    Painting an Engine

    I’ve seen Uncle Tony use a torch as paint prep to clean an engine. He makes a good point about pulling out the moisture from the iron. If you’re worried about damaging something internally then you might consider heating the whole engine with a shop heater while monitoring the temperature with...

    1939 Lincoln 4-door value

    They are both 38’s as shown by the horizontal fins on the grill and the embossed lines behind the teardrop hoodside emblem. 38&39 tail lights are the same. Some of the parts are worth a fortune but it would be a shame to go that route.

    Aerostar spring isolaters.

    I used Aerostar coils in my 59’ Rancho, no isolators. Front end sits just right and rides great
