    Is Mr. 40s Stuff in business

    Like the title says. I have called left a message or 2 and emailed with no response. I noticed the other day that they took a couple of items off their website within the last month or so. That seems to indicate the business is still somewhat, anyway, active.. my last call was Wednesday maybe...

    1939 Ford Tudor trunk latch, missing part?

    Unfortunately that is what the retailers are selling. They probably all come from the same manufacturer. I posted one ad below but they all look the same. You can see in the pic that the screw holes are about the same distance apart as mine. Certainly not 1 1/4". At least to my eye. Sorry I...

    1939 Ford Tudor trunk latch, missing part?

    Thanks I figured something was missing. I'd assume only one company probably makes the part I have. I pictures they all look the same in pictures.

    1939 Ford Tudor trunk latch, missing part?

    I was concerned about that. That brace was replaced by the previous owner along with the floorboards. He made the floorboards and they aren't right in a couple of places so I wasn't sure about those hole spacing being correct. I figured there may be apiece missing because I did see the...

    1939 Ford Tudor trunk latch, missing part?

    I am having trouble with mounting the trunk striker on my tudor. The car was bought in pieces. I have the Drake striker. The mounting holes do not align with the holes on the trunk. Before I grind the brace in the trunk or make a new brace am I missing a part? Does the striker mount to a missing...

    1939 Ford Tudor trunk latch problem

    Having trouble with the trunk latch on a 1939 Fird Tudor. The 2 mounting holes on the lip, where the latch protrudes, do not line up. It looks like the area shown in the pic should maybe be flat. The area by the white line looks like it has to be closer to level with the area by the red line...

    1939 Ford Tudor quarter window

    The stop screw is in the channel on the 1939 lift/carrier. You can see the screw in place on the left side of the picture. My understanding is with the window partially down the hole for that screw is accessible through the hole in the side panel so the screw stop can be inserted. The screw is...

    1939 Ford Tudor quarter window

    I have these 2 pics I was given previously from another site. The one with 2 windows and measurement annotations is driver side front. It helped for the front. The other, with tape measure, I was told was an original window from a 39 Tudor. I will try that. I would hate to ruin the lift/channel...

    1939 Ford Tudor quarter window

    Does anyone have or can take a picture of the opening in the interior where the regulator stop screw is in view. I had someone put my windows in and the regulator pin comes out of the channel. I know the stop screw SHOULD be accessible through that hole. My project came with no windows so we...

    1939 Ford Tudor side window

    Yes it does. I believe the '40 goes up and down because it has vent windows.

    1939 Ford Tudor side window

    According to Nu Relics their wndow follows the same path, "Smoker's vent", as the original so the windows should be stock size. I am using the original manual regulators. There were no windows in the car when I bought it. I got a box full of all new windows.
